Thanks, Carissa, for a strong reminder. As I've reached marriageable age the temptation has grown to dress "attractively." I strive to keep reminding myself that only modest clothing attracts the sort of man with whom I could spend the rest of my life.
And I think it's appropriate to say a word about having a modest manner, too. I have observed conversations between groups of young men and women that seem to have an underlying negative dynamic, partly because the young women have an immodest way of presenting themselves regardless of how they're dressed.

You're welcome, Edith! I'm glad it was helpful. :) A friend of mine passed it on to me, and I thought it so good that I wanted to share it on my blog. :)

Yes, exactly. :) Plus, modesty... (this sounds weird, but it's true and Biblical...) makes immodesty (in marriage) special. And it will be such a blessing to know that you've saved everything for your husband. :)
*nods* Yes, you're right. It's not just about the clothes... it is also the attitude. :)
Thank you for the thoughtful comment!
