Hi, it's Jen!
When I was a young teen I didn't understand modesty. When I asked my Mom why I couldn't wear a certain thing she'd say "If you dress immodestly guys will get the wrong idea. They'll view you as an object. They'll think bad things. People will judge you." And I thought "Well that's their problem! I'm not like that, and I shouldn't have to change what I do with my body just because other people might think bad things!"
But after the experiences I've had, some of them not being so good, I don't look at it that way anymore.
It's like this:
Imagine that you just got your first car. It's exactly what you've always wanted. You take it out to drive around with some friends. You go downtown and decide to go to a restaurant. You park the car, throw the keys on the front seat, leave the doors unlocked and wide open, and think to yourself "I hope nobody steals this car! That would be awful. That would be totally bad and wrong of them." You go in the restaurant to have a fun time with your friends.
You come out afterwards and the car is gone!
Now it's true that the person who stole it did something wrong. But it's also true that you could have done something to prevent it from being stolen and you didn't. You actually enticed the person to steal the car. It probably wouldn't have been stolen if you had locked and closed the doors and took the keys with you. So how do you feel knowing you could have prevented it?
Who would actually be so careless with their car?
Are you being that careless with your body? Do you dress in a way that encourages people to "steal your car"? Do you think that you are somehow invincible to the evils of this world? Do you do whatever's in your power to keep yourself safe and protected or do you "leave your keys on the seat"? Your body should be much more valuable to you than a car. It's a temple. A gift from god.
I also had to realize that to purposely dress in a way that encourages a young man to have immoral thoughts about you is to encourage that young man to sin. And to encourage someone to sin is to commit a sin yourself. So you're not innocent in dressing immodestly if you have any other possible clothing choice. There are much better ways to get a guy's attention anyway.

That's why I started this web site. I knew other people had to be having the same problems I was having. The mall's not the best place to find modest clothes, which is why I shop online a lot. There's so much more selection! When shopping online for pants or jeans sometimes the description will say "sits at waist" "sits above waist" or "sits below waist" which is really helpful. I don't buy anything or put anything in the Fashion Finds section that says "sits below waist". The only hard thing about buying online is that you can't try the item on. But if you don't like what you bought or if it doesn't fit you can always return it for about the cost of the gas it would have taken to drive to the mall. - Jen
