Well it's not about the laundry list of things to do or not do. That was in the Old Testament. Now it's about fellowship with God and Holy Spirit's guidance.
Guidelines for not focusing on the outward apparel, not trying to be attention seeker and seduce, or dont be proud with your looks are already there in the Bible. They apply to both men and women. There's no need for anyone to add to what is being said and add new commandments to the Word of God. It's God's job to convict a person if they are doing something with the wrong heart, because God looks on the heart. Everything not done out of faith is sin (Romans 14:23). If one believes earrings are sinful, they must make sure not to wear them. But for the person wearing earrings with honest faith, they are not committing sin according to the Bible. If they believe meat eating is sin, they must not eat it because they will be defiled... but if they truly believe it's clean, they are clean. I'm not inventing this from my head, just paraphrasing Romans chap. 14. Please reread it. It addresses things that are gray area and disputable because different people will have different convictions on them. It's not the same like convictions such as "lust is sin", "lying is sin", which are equal in all born again Christians. If the Bible does not call something out as sin or adds a rule, please be careful not to add your rules to the Word.
For some reason I was pretty sure you were not married - because this kind of posts typically comes from unmarried men - so I checked and I've indeed seen on your profile that you were not married, but you're speaking from a position of an overseer. Congregation leaders have always been "married to one wife". How anyone except an overseer, or a female elder, has the prerogative to instruct women in the church? It is unbiblical and unseemly for an unmarried young man, or anyone who is not a church overseer or elder, to instruct wives of other men and breach their authority. This would be unseemly even if the women were unmarried, but you're speaking to the married. Even apostle Paul, being an overseer to many churches, was careful to instruct and reprove women only when their husbands failed to do so and things got out of hand, and always respectfully left the guidance and teaching within the authority of their husbands. Please do not continue to make this kind of posts and you will do well redirect your energy in the church to where is proper and where your gifts are... teaching is not one of them.
I would also be very careful of addressing other believers as "stupid fools" for three reasons. First is that we do not know who goes up and who goes down, only God does (Rom 10:6-7). Second is that fool is the one who has said in his heart "there is no God" - Psalm 14 - so it's wrong to apply it to believers, and even that's the Spirit speaking and not man. Third, Jesus warned people who call a brother "you fool" to be in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22). Why, because of contempt for another creature of God that God might have already bought out with His blood and is sanctifying them, which is a process of growth and Jesus increasing in them.
Then, you seem to remove all the responsibility from husbands and blame the betrayed wives for being conned and cheated. (It wouldnt be an excuse for cheating even if she committed adultery!). Dont you know that with authority comes responsibility, and that man is in charge over his wife, but also responsible for his wife. Man be judged by a higher standard than the woman, but your post excuses male adultery. Just wow.
This OP is not standing right at all. It is not problematic that modesty is being commended, what is problematic is that there is no love of God in there, just a desire to exercise authority over others whom you perceive as inferiors. That woman that you condemned because of wearing earrings might not have had any evil thought in her heart regarding them so she did not sin according to the Word, and even if she stumbled and did put them on with a wrong motive, maybe she loves her neighbor far more than another person that doesnt wear earrings. So maybe it will be better with her than with you when the judgment comes. Remember that God forgives much to those who love much. I hate to say it, but have you been led by God to write this, it would have agreed with the Bible and it would be proper and your rightful place to speak.
Your attitude is the same as in Muslim lollipop analogies. Woman is a worthless object in this system and valued by what she does and not by who she is. Woe to us all if God valued us according to what we have done. This OP cries for love of God. I pray to God that you will NOT get married until you're disabused of these beliefs and start looking upon women with the eyes of God.

Hey, men might be able to see your clothing hung up on the clothesline.
A man might stumble when he sees your unmentionables. You're not modest, you're a phony!.
No, I can't, which is why I told him he's going to need to solve his anger issues.
He acts like he's entitled to a woman that is little more than a slave. It's a bit unnerving.
[h=1]Hills hoist inspiration Natalie Beam sheds tears of joy [/h]
CRYING “tears of pride”, the woman who inspired the Hills hoist on Wednesday witnessed her inventor father’s name usher in a new era for the Adelaide manufacturer.
Natalie Beam, daughter of Lance Hill, was at the company’s Port Rd headquarters for the opening of a $5 million innovation complex.
“It’s all my fault,” said Mrs Beam, who was born in 1941.
“It was because of the washing when I was a baby.”
Her mum had been struggling with a washing line strung on props between orange trees in the family’s yard, especially in the winter mud.
“Dad came back from service in the war and mum said ‘You’ve got to do something about this’.
“So, he did.”
