I also get annoyed when we harp on the YW about it and yet the YM come to mutual in tank tops. If a YW did that (coming from an established family in the ward) they would most likely pull her aside. I don't like the double standard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943458335062254334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989586293877971034.post-73506046813798315872014-06-07T07:23:09.053-05:002014-06-07T07:23:09.053-05:00Liz, thanks for sharing.

This is great, Liz! Thank you for your insight, honesty, and personal experience. I've thought long and hard about this virtue, which we have tried hard to instill in our children. I feel a strong prompting to shift the emphasis from WHAT we wear to WHY we wear what we wear. More importantly, I want to teach my children the state of mind that is at the heart of true modesty. I like this definition:1)freedom from conceit or vanity 2) propriety in dress, speech, or conduct.Mortensen'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036913623069822082noreply@blogger.com
