I was sort of in the "denim skirt cult", but it wasn't because I was really made to do it, I sort of did it on my own. I was told that I had to be modest and I believe I took it a little far. I did wear pants and Jeans, but I also wore ankle long skirts. I stayed away from tank tops (don't ask how I survived summer) and didn't start wearing them until I was around 17. 

It wasn't until I started dating my husband and started to hang out with his family, that I started to realize it wasn't bad to wear something like a tank top. Jason's, my husband, mom helped me out with getting clothes that were modest, but were a little bit more revealing than I used to wear. The biggest shock, my mother-in-law is a pastor's wife.

Like Deanna, it is taking me a while to get used to being able to wear what I want and not what I think people think I should wear. I'm still not comfortable with shorts or slightly- above- the- knee skirts, they have to cover my knees when I sit for me to be comfortable. I have come a long way from the, what my in-laws call, "Grandma clothes". I feel happy now.

also, what Deanna said, I believe that we do turn men into animals, but they are (or should be) in control of themselves. If they start to get out of control, the woman should be the only one to blame. It should go both ways.
