For Ladies: Modesty in Fall Fashion

+

J.M.J.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The air grows crisp, leaves change into beautiful hues of gold, brown, and ruby, and pumpkins and apple cider surround me. Another thing that excites me about this time of year is fashion! Why? Because of boots, scarves, and layering. Lovely.

I just wanted to point something out, though. In the fall, there tends to be more skin covered up because the air is getting colder. However, there is a trend going wild out there when the weather gets colder. I'm sure you've seen it, or even tried it. It's called "wearing leggings as pants." I think that leggings are fine, and are great for putting under a shorter skirt. But leggings are not pants. Leggings fit as tight as, well, tights. Would you think it's okay to wear just tights and a shirt? I wouldn't. I see leggings as the same. The only difference is that they don't cover your feet. They can go past your knees or down to your ankles; it just depends on the style.

The picture I have up above illustrates what I mean about a big no-no. Yes, the sweater provides some coverage, but still, everything below the sweater is no better than wearing tights! Yikes! Here is a better option that I consider to be fashionable for this fall, while maintaining a sense of dignity and modesty for your sake and the sake of others:

I love this outfit because it provides a decent slimming effect with the jeans, and the flowy top adds an elegant contrast. The accessories are super-cute too!

Let me know in the comments what you think about leggings, wearing them alone or how you wear them with other things!

God bless you,

Stephanie
