My Soap Box

I can approach this topic in a number of ways.
Aggressively.
Rantingly.
Passively.

I composed it in each of those ways and decided to just be honest.

It hurts my heart when girls dress immodestly.

How can you claim to want to make covenants in the Temple and then turn around and dress the same way people of the world dress?

When you look at someone, can't you tell something about their family life and the way their home is from the way they look, present themselves, and dress?

Shouldn't they also be able to tell something about your relationship with the Savior and what you know and believe and what your "home" is like from the way you look, present yourself, and dress?

The standard has been set. We've been told what is and isn't appropriate. They don't lower the basketball hoop (commonly referred to as the basketball standard) for shorter players. Instead, all the players adapt to perform their best with the same hoop. Likewise. We should not make exceptions for ourselves. Instead, we should change and adapt to the standard, and increase our skills and abilities in the process.

Please let the way you dress be part of your testimony. Please be consistent. You will never, ever regret it.
