Okay, I've been HORRIBLE about starting this blog up. I promise to do much better in the future.
I want the 5 of you who read this blog to know that I believe that women in general can do a better job about covering up their lady parts. Call me crazy, but our bodies are scared and first impressions are EVERYTHING. We (as women) can make statements about ourselves in the way we dress. Personally, I've always wanted to be the girl that wanted a man who would take me home to his parents, and not to his bed. There's nothing wrong with feeling and looking confident! Let's just leave something there for surprise!
One of my favorite quotes on modesty is from Emma Watson. Unless you've been living under a rock the past 10 years you know as Hermione from the Harry Potter movies.

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."
Less IS More.
I hope this blog can help at least one person... young or old, that you don't have to "show the goods" to be wanted or liked by men. YOU are special, and I hope you allow people to see you for who you are. :)
On a lighter note...
I wanted to start with an outfit I love for the summer.
I hear it's incredibly hot in the States! At least all of you have air conditioners.
Jealous!!!
I just get hot air blown on me all day, everyday.
IT'S AWFUL!
Anyways... it's about 80 degrees in Germany today and I couldn't help walking into my closet and putting this outfit on.
Both the Shirt and Shorts are from Old Navy~
Since I live in Europe I have to order from Old Navy & The Gap clothes on-line.
Booo.
I love the outfit and you could totally be a model for Old Navy!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteHey Ami. It's me, Ashlea. It's been a long time. How are you? I love your blog. Great idea. How long will you be living in Germany?
ReplyDeleteThanks JoAnna!
ReplyDeleteAshlea~ I've doing well, Cameron and I have been living in Germany for a little over a year now. We like traveling but, we do miss the States. How are things with your family? I heard you had another baby~ Congrats! Are you still living in Washington?
