Having watched football for the first time in a while the other night as Tim Tebow and the Broncos lost to Tom Brady and the Patriots, I can say I didn’t even notice the pants that the players were wearing.  Did you?

( Please don’t take this post of me being judgmental of people who do wear pants, in whatever style, form, or fashion. This is just my personal opinion when it comes to pants and modesty. :) )

Please feel free to comment with your own convictions and preferences. Yahweh bless!

I do not wear a tie all the time.  There, I said it.

My company has a business-casual approach to attire, and that means that most days, in the summer, you’ll find me in khaki pants and a short sleeved polo shirt.  In the winter (like now) I’m in dress slacks, a button down shirt with a sweater overtop.

However, you didn’t ask me that.  You asked about whether women should wear skirts all the time?

This is a debate that’s continually held, and many on both sides would argue that it’s personal conviction.

However, these people also have opinions on the topic, and strongly hold those views.

So here’s your chance.  Make your case.  Do you wear skirts all the time, would you like to, or do you think that the idea is crazy.

Tell us why you feel the way that you do.  This is not the time to attack another’s position (and I’ll moderate those that do).  This is a time to spell out what you believe about this and why you choose to dress how you do.

Modesty! Its rather important to us! But, have you ever sat back and examined your standards of modesty? How your standard was formed? Considered other views of modesty? The annual Modesty Challenge gives each of us a chance to re-think modesty and discuss our finding!

This Years Modesty Challenge Begins on April 19th 2010 & Ends April 23rd 2010. The theme this year is “A week in Modest Feminine Attire”.  And just to make it interesting, we’ll pick one participant from those who take the challenge to get a free skirt from New Creation Apparel!

The Rules

For this years challenge, lets put the debate of skirts or jeans behind us. Skirts/Dresses of appropriate length are certainly modest. They are certainly feminine. And They are most defiantly no longer the “norm” for girls and women.

During the challenge, you should wear only skirts, dresses, culottes, or split-skirts. Try to keep outfits as feminine and modest as possible. Continue with your normal routine. Especially participate in activities you “thought you couldn’t do in a skirt” such as gardening, cleaning, housework, childcare, outdoor activities etc.

Take lots of pictures of yourself doing your normal routines in feminine modest clothing. (If you are uncomfortable taking your picture, take pictures of your outfit.) Post these pictures along with any thought or comments on the challenge to your personal blog. Your post should include a link to the challenge. Add your post to the list of links (Comments) so we can all see how your challenge is going!

Already a “skirt gal”? Great! You are still welcome to participate in the challenge. You may wish to make the challenge a bit more challenging for yourself by adding a “bit more feminine challenge”. Possibly challenge yourself to also wear feminine hair styles! (Think Buns & Braids!) Or to Speak or write more feminine.

Below I am listing some questions you may wish to answer concerning this years challenge!

Enjoy! I wish everyone a great experience during this years challenge! I am so excited to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Week in Modesty Questions:

1. Prior to the challenge, What was your standard of modesty? How has it changed after the challenge?

2. Prior to the challenge, How did you feel about wearing skirts or dresses? Did you feel they would be limiting? How has this view changed Post-Challenge?

3. Prior to the challenge what was your self-image like? Did this change any after the challenge?

4. Did you notice any changes in you behavior during the challenge? Did you notice any change in the way others treated you while wearing skirts/dresses?

5. Did you find picking out an outfit or getting ready during the challenge to be inconvenient? Why or Why not?

6. Did you find your skirt/dress to be limiting or inconvenient in any situations?

7. Did you find your self to be comfortable in your skirt/dresses? As compared to jeans?

8. Will you continue to wear skirts/dresses? Why?

Is This Modest?

We’ve been asked to comment through our Contact Form on this photo, so we’re obliging!

MInTheGap: Frankly, my first reaction is “She’s not wearing any pants.” The fact that her top is long enough to go to her upper thigh doesn’t help the fact that I can make out her entire leg. While the top is fine, the “leggings as pants” make this immodest for me, even though there’s very little skin showing.

Is This Modest?

MInTheGap: This outfit is a little tight– you can see its snugness in both the shirt (you can see part of an undergarment) and pants (you can see the outline of her left pocket)– but the designs distract your attention. It does provide good coverage, however.

Foy: The design does work well – for one side. It would need to cover more of the shirt for it to be more effective. Other than that, the only thing I wonder about is the see-throughness of the pants. A four.

Erin:  I think this is a cute, feminine and classy outfit!

MInTheGap: I’m surprise there was no comment about the v-neck or how low it goes.  I think this outfit works, however.

Erin: Yes, I think it’s very modest! I think they are the wrong colors/style for her though.

MInTheGap: Modest, and knows what’s cool.  Fonzie’s sister perhaps?

Is This Modest?

Erin: Whoa! Not so much. The shirt is low…really low…low as in “where’d the rest of it go??” I’m not sure anything can really be done to fix the problem, except wear a different shirt.

MInTheGap: The pants are fine, but that top is about to fall off– immodest.

Erin: I don’t think the lack of sleeves is particularly immodest, but I still don’t care for it. I think combined with the neckline, it just seems to be showing too much skin.

MInTheGap: Pants are fine, the purse matches, and neat shades.  Oh wait, I’m doing a modest appraisal!  It’s a bit of skin, but the wide straps seems ok to me.  I’m going modest.

Erin: I think the shirt accents the bust a bit too much because of the styling on the top. Also, white pants could be a problem under certain circumstances, but they aren’t immodest in and of themselves. Overall, I think it’s pretty cute!

MInTheGap: This is a cite outfit.  The color looks good on her, and though the front may go a little lower then I would like, the top goes down far enough all around to help with modesty.  I’m going mostly modest because of the low cut front.

Is This Modest?

Erin: The shirt I think is a halter-top, which I don’t consider modest. And what’s up with the shoes…no wonder she’s sitting down. I’d fall over or loose feeling in my toes!

MInTheGap: Lots of shoulders, really high heels, but the V is rather high.  A jacket would go a long way here.  I’m going slightly immodest.  ‘Course if this photo was taken after labor day, the white pants would sink it!

Erin: I can’t see the neckline very well, so if it’s high enough I think this is a very cute and fancy outfit!

MInTheGap: I used to have this thing about shiny material– it looks like you’re covered in saran wrap, and it can be a tad distracting/attention getting.  This works well, however, for formal attire, so I’m going to rate it modest.

Erin: Her belt is *really*…big. But I don’t think it’s immodest.

MInTheGap: Shoulders are showing again– and look at that muscle, but not immodest.

Is This Modest?

Erin: The pants seem tight, and the top looks like it might be too low also, although it’s hard to tell under the jacket.

MInTheGap: The jacket disguises the low top– so perhaps if she kept it buttoned…  Other than that, appears to be modest!
