I am always shocked to see the many ways that the world infiltrates our lives to pressure us to conform. I went shopping yesterday to find some reasonably priced jeans but could not find any that was both modest and fit me properly! After walking through the entire mall and spending over two hours looking, I ended up paying $111.44 for only two pars of jeans! They were the only jeans that I could find that met my standards of modesty and at the same time didn't make me look like I had a bubble butt!
When looking at swimsuits I found that almost every store only offered bikinis or something that would resemble a gunnysack. In my opinion a bikini is nothing more than underwear and a bra that you can swim in and is legal to wear in public.
The world not only pressures us to conform to it's physical image of beauty through books, the media, magazines, friends, family and acquaintances but also by providing little or no modest affordable clothing. It seems that only after an exhausting and discouraging hunt can you find modest attractive clothing. Even then you usually have to pay a price for it with your pocket book.
We have the choice to ether conform to the image the world sets for us or we take on the world standing strong and keep to our Lords standards he has set for us.
Will you conform or stand strong?

Very good post! It is so hard to find decent clothes today. And its so sad what society is throwing at girls to wear inorder to draw lustful eyes. How dare society say that we women are only good for that!
