Jenney, excellent post on vanity. That is so true. And society feeds that to young girls unless we raise them otherwise, watching for vanity when it creeps in and confront it. Men can be the same. Amoung the anabaptist, there is a trend to cover the women, but the men will go and find the tightest jeans and whatever else to "make them turn heads". Attitude does show in what we wear. That is a good reason to not feed it by immodesty.

I have a book dealing with modesty in girls...mostly dealing with clothing. There is an entire section also dealing with modest behaviour. That is the other half of modesty. There are certain ways of doing things.
