Hello everyone!
It's a particularly sunny day today, and also VERY HOT.
Days like this make it hard to keep modest clothes, where you just want to wear that thin tanktop that you know shows through... but it's just so hot!
Here are some quick tips about summer modesty:
- THIN TANKTOPS ARE A NO
If you can see the outline or pattern of your bra, you need to either (a) layer or (b) wear it UNDER another shirt.
- Short-shorts are bad.
Only like 3 out of 10 girls can actually pull these off to begin with, but even they shouldn't be wearing them! Here are some ways to tell if they're too short. If you answer "yes" to any of them, they're too short. Here they are:
(a) lean over with your back to the mirror and look through your legs. Can you see hints of underwear peeking out where your leg holes are?
(b)Sit down on your bed. Can you see more than 1/2 your thighs? This may seem too conservative, but believe me. Your good, Christian guy-friends will appreciate it, whether you realize it or not.
(c) Can you start to see where your thighs round out to become your behind? I see tons of girls walking around with this hanging out of their shorts, and they don't seem to realize how unattractive they look! This may seem like a no-brainer, but try it anyway.
(d) Can you see the same place where your thighs round out when you lean over like in number 1? if so, GET.RID.OF.THEM!
- Sometimes looser is actually better.
You can find TONS of cute high-necked cotton t-shirts at stores like American Eagle, Bluenotes, even Garage! But before you go to the smallest size, find one that doesn't cling to you, but "hugs your body", as Stacy and Clinton from "What Not to Wear" would say. It's guaranteed to make you look slimmer and is MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE!
Some things to remember that you might not have realized:
- High necked shirts are actually trendy, matched with a lacy tanktop. Especially if it has a cute graphic on it! Experiment.
- Long shorts, or "walking shorts" are super cute on anyone. They are much more comfortable, and are actually cooler than short-shorts. no more sticky skin sticking to that parkbench you and your friends sat down to eat your ice cream!
So yeah! Have fun with summer!
Next time I will be talking about swimming modestly. Also a topic much approached, but I believe that you can never have too much of a good thing when it comes to modesty and ibeauty, eh? ;)

Let me know if you make a button. Someone is finally teaching me how to put those on my sidebar, so I'd love to "advertise" for ibeauty!
