I didn’t write a blog post last week. I was really busy and the only thing that was on my heart and mind to write about I didn’t want to write about last week so as not to cause any controversy. Well this week my post is a day late and I still have the same subject on my heart and mind. So here it goes!
I know talking about the lengths of skirts or dresses can become controversial. I don’t know why but it does. So this is my opinion and ONLY my opinion. Nobody has to agree with me and quite frankly I would be surprised if anyone I know would agree with me.
I personally think that modest looking skirts and dresses should go below the knee. My personal preference is for my skirts to be really long. That is what makes me the most comfortable. What I don’t understand is how women especially Christian women can wear skirts and dresses that go above the knee. I’ve seen some skirts and dresses that show half of the women’s thighs. This is something that I just don’t get. Yes, I know there are no verses in the Bible that says exactly what is considered modest, but I don’t know how showing half of a thigh is considered modest.
I know I shouldn’t let it bother me. I know all women are different and consider modesty to be different in their own eyes. I just wonder how many Christian women think about this. I know for me and my husband we have agreed that for us modesty is the skirt going below the knee and not showing any thigh.
I can’t help but to wonder what other men other then my husband thinks about their wives or girlfriends wearing skirts or dresses that go above their knees and some showing off their thighs. Do these other men really think it’s ok for their wives and or girlfriends to go out like that? As I said this is ONLY my opinion. I’m sure there are many women right now even Christian women who are thinking “you can have your own opinion and that’s not going to stop me from wearing my mini skirts”. I’m not asking you to stop. I’m just stating my opinion. Maybe it’s something that you all can think about too.
