At lease her length was good.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314595165411714020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454704239804658758.post-54802313506852130112011-10-10T21:42:54.574-06:002011-10-10T21:42:54.574-06:00It is so hard because you are right those dresses ...It is so hard because you are right those dresses are in style and "everyone is wearing them". It is also interesting because all of Autumn's close girlfriends are LDS so they all are in modest and CUTE dresses as well. Her friend Katie had a strapless dress BUT she wore a cute black jacket over it that made the dress modest. We had a fashion show for our YW a few weeks ago about modest dress. Starting with the beehives showing their modest school clothes, Mia Maids showing modest church clothes and then all the Laurels wore modest prom dresses. I am grateful Autumn has no desire to even try on immodest clothes, but wow is it an issue sometimes finding cute modest clothes. I love the saying Modest is hottest. I am proud of you for talking to Brady about this!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314595165411714020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454704239804658758.post-77394037161006888712011-10-10T15:53:02.440-06:002011-10-10T15:53:02.440-06:00oops! *Modesty*oops! *Modesty*Zoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224663029751121519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454704239804658758.post-17105798887634486342011-10-10T15:52:25.673-06:002011-10-10T15:52:25.673-06:00I loved your post!!!

With that in mind, I hope that girls realize that boys are different than girls. I've heard it put before that girls are like row boats and boys are like speedboats. It takes a lot to get a girl going, but not much for a boy ...<br />I hope that parents will help uphold the standard of virtue by their example and frank and honest discussions such as this.Zoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224663029751121519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454704239804658758.post-85646743090478192212011-10-10T14:35:57.817-06:002011-10-10T14:35:57.817-06:00It is so hard.

She is a great girl, smart, fun, and she was not trying to dress immodestly, in fact, the length of her dress is appropriate, there are no cutouts, etc...sleeveless is very common when you are not LDS. <br />I have seen some truly "scary" outfits worn by the girls at the High School and Kara is not one of those.<br />With that said, it is hard because kids really do marry who they date...eventually and they become like those who they hang around with. It is good you talked to Brady and got his take and let him know how important it is to be with those people who choose the same standards that he wants to live in his life.<br />I think boys have to be modest too. Our boys like to run around without shirts on and Taylor likes to wear his short running shorts when he is not running and we have had to explain to the boys that they also need to be modest.<br />Great post.CBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911579093553356167noreply@blogger.com
