Introish
I've been hanging around for a while and thought I'd do an actual intro post. My name is Amy and I'm Anglican, raised Pentecostal, and dressing modestly mostly because I'm more comfortable with myself and how the world seems to interact with me when I do. My standard is fairly loose and based on the dress code of the high school I went to - no tank tops or very short sleeves, skirts at or below the knees. This is kinda ironic given how much I HATED it then, but we lived in the middle of nowhere and I didn't have you lovely ladies or the thrift shops I can now raid for skirts then either. :D I started seriously getting rid of the pants and tighter stuff after I had brain surgery two years ago and found it harder to dress myself, now I look at what I was wearing then and wonder why I wore it in the first place.
That's one of my favorite skirts, I picked it up at a Goodwill for something like $8, and since it doesn't have any slits it's a great one for winter. Usually I'll wear another skirt under it to warm it up a bit which works pretty well. I have some lighter skirts that get worn under heavier ones that have knee high slits, today's is a jean skirt with a knee high slit and a green cotton gauze under it. I'm working up toward doing more doing more headcovering, my partner is agnostic and slightly confused how he ended up with a church girl, but very supportive. :)
