This I found when I was watching this kind of videos on youtube. For months I‘ve struggled with similar issue.



There was a time when I felt guilty for looking pretty, whenever I made myself presentable. It was even more intensified by some people around, who were saying that to look beautiful is to be immodest. So I believed I need to look untidy in order to be modest. But just as the woman in the video, somewhere deep inside I felt, that there is something wrong with this idea. I kept reading the Bible, spending time with God, trying to find the answer, and one day I found a sermon, in which a difference between beauty and sensuality was presented. And I realized that maybe this is it. There is a difference between beauty and sensuality, but sometimes, devil tries to convince us that to look beautiful is sinful, though we are dressed modestly. After all, beauty comes from God. God Himself is beautiful, so there can be nothing wrong with modest beauty.



I would like to know your opinion, or to know, if some of you have ever struggled with this.

Must be the reason why Miss Sweet Old Scantily Clad down the road is always wearing her skirts too high...haha.
 
When in doubt, overdress. Life is too short to wear boring clothes. :)

I don't worry too much about modesty or what people will think about how I look. I just express myself and dress appropriately according to the occasion. It becomes sinful if you have evil intentions like seducing people.
