Modest Is Hottest: Prom Style

This post is wrote specially for the junior and senior high school girls!   I'm here to tell you all about something I bet you thought didn't even exist!  And that would be......

CUTE, BEAUTIFUL, ATTRACTIVE PROM DRESSES!

Yeah!  You read correctly my dear.  I've even brought you some samples to show you!  

Now some of you may be thinking "Why in the world would I want to look modest on prom night? No one would even notice me?  None of the guys would even know I exist.."   My dear sweet friend, I have news for you.  If the guy you find noticed you for only those reasons and wants you for mainly that then he isn't one you should be hangin' around.  A real man of God will notice you for your respect for God and your brothers in Christ for wearing modest clothing, and he will love you for that. 

If you still aren't understanding the whole purpose of modesty please read Alyssa's post "Why is Modesty Important?"  Then you can come back and read the rest of the post! :) 

Now for the fun part!  Yes!  We're getting to the dresses!  And I know you're all probably on the edge of your seats.  Thinking I'm going to show you some hideous dress with a turtle neck and a floral vest pattern.  Ha ha ha..no.  Seriously.  These are gorgeous!  I'd wear any of them to prom!  And I'm big into fashion! ;) 

Here is a gorgeous royal blue dress with a pretty crystal belt.  I'm not sure about you, but I'm lovin' it!

This next dress couldn't possibly get any sweeter looking!  It's a pretty dark blush pink, or light peach color.  Needless to say, I'd wear it.  Ha ha!




This I'm sure will probably be a favorite for all those tight fitted loving girls!  This pretty pastel yellow colored dress is modest but still "hot" I would say.

I was never a fan of too many colors all being crammed up in one dress but I have to admit, I liked this one a lot!  I think it's modesty makes it look more attractive. :)

This one is very pretty and any girl who likes black and pink will love this! I also am I big fan of the way it fits.  It's beautiful overall.



This one is also a tight fitted. It's a gorgeous chocolate brown color. And I think most of you will like the bow on it.  Bows are a big thing right now it seems.

Now onto the short modest dresses!  Glad you stayed to see this part. :) 

I'm in love with the pretty white with a dash of pink on this dress! And if you like "short" dresses this is the perfect length for a prom I think.  It's not showing off too much skin but it's still so modern.

This dress screams prom to me!  And it's still carrying our modest look.



This is one of my favorite in the short prom dress category!  I love the color, the fit and the style. I would totally wear this.

And last but in no way least, this breath taking purple short dress!  Beautiful beautiful! 




Okay ladies! I hope this was somewhat helpful to you.  Please please share this with your friends! You don't have to take this journey of modesty alone!  Get together with some youth group friends or school girls and talk about how you feel God wants you to be modest.   Then pray together about it.  And then go on your prom dress shopping spree!  It won't be easy, but God never promised us life would be.   He said ALL thing are possible through HIM."But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  - Matthew 19:26

Now I hope you all leave a comment or tell us what you think below.  If you have any questions please email me @ Kate2Blue@gmail.com I'd be happy to answer any of them or talk with you!  Even send me your prayer requests.

Blessings,

Why Is Modesty Important?

Modesty.  It can be such a confusing topic.  The typical view of modesty, is skirts to the floor, long sleeves, and long braided hair.  Now there is nothing wrong with that at all!  But I think we have the wrong image.  Modesty isn’t making sure every inch of your body is covered.  Modesty is dressing according to God’s word.  It is dressing in a way that you’re not causing your brothers in Christ to sin, and fall into temptation.    There are a few videos out online that you can watch.  They are filled with guy’s thoughts on the topic of modesty.   Because it honestly does stand out to guys that us girls would take just a little more time in the morning to make sure that we aren’t distracting them.

The videos (Which I will link at the end of this post.) are something that I think every girl should watch.  I know that before I watched them I thought to myself that ‘Guys, don’t really care or notice.’ This isn’t the case at all.  It is a constant day to day, minute to minute battle for them.  When we walk around in short shorts, or low cut shirts.  It takes everything they have not to flow your thighs, and wonder what is under your shorts.  Or to follow the low cut top, and wonder what is underneath.  Now this isn’t anything against guys, it’s just how they have been made.   Since us girls already know that it’s a struggle for them, seeing as not every girl is going to take their struggle into consideration.   We should be willing to dress accordingly to God’s word.

Now you are probably wondering what God’s word has to say about modesty, and temptation, and tempting your brothers in Christ.  In Matthew 18:6 it says “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”  Now that verse says a lot about causing one of God’s children to sin.   I mean that verse states that it would be better for you to drown in the ocean, then to cause one of His children to sin.     

Matthew 5:27-30 “You have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.  And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.”    

When we dress immodestly it can cause a guy to look at us in a lust full manner, and cause him to sin.  We see above in Matthew 18:6 that causing a child of God to sin is not something to be taken lightly.   I listened to a sermon recently that said the reason God is a loving God is because He tells us that we will be held accountable, and it will be considered adultery if someone even has lustful thoughts.  Because He doesn’t want us to get to the point of committing adultery.  

The Bible states that we are imitators of Christ.  We need to dress in a way that shows our love and dedication to serving Christ.  We can’t claim we love God and serve Him, if we blend in with the world around us.  We were born to STAND OUT!

Colossians 3:5-10 “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.  You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.  But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.  Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. “

We can’t be an image of God, if we strive to fit in with the world.  Dressing modestly is NOT easy.  But It’s worth it.   It takes true courage to go against the ways of the world, and be set apart, in modesty, purity, and our faith. 

Guys are visual.  Their minds fill in the blanks; they don’t even have to try.  Because their mind automatically knows what should be where.  So although your pants/shorts are covering your rear, and although your shirt is covering your chest, their minds follow the lines of your legs, or the lines of your shirt.  They can’t help it because it is just how their minds work.   So let’s not make it any harder for them.   Proverbs 24:12 says “Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act.“   Now that we know the struggle young men, and men in general go through; we are held accountable to take action.
