I would call our style of dress semi-plain. My son and I wear button up shirts 95% of the time, but we do wear jeans occaisonally. I mentioned above that we buy Kiara's jumpers at the thrift stores. I think Jehane may have meant junk clothing by "trashy" (correct me if I am wrong) I don't know if they use the phrase "trashy" to mean immodest in Australia.WalkInHisFootsteps said:You all must live in interesting parts of the world where everyone dresses trashy. Our thift stores around here have more modest clothing, especially for the plus sizes.
If you mean by modest clothing that the outfits should look like Amish-wear, there are plenty of MCC thrift stores within an hour's drive of here. I wouldn't expect to see any in Australia, but Danfrey, don't you live in PA?
I try to have Kiara dress in a way that does not stand out as much a capedress would because she attends a public school on an Air Force base in Delaware. I hope that she will wear her jumpers to school, so we try to find a balance without asking her to be a martyr at school. She handles it like a trooper. Candice used to pick her up from school wearing cape and cover. Most of the time she was respected, but occaissionally someone would take offense. It is a wierd situation having child that is the daughter with a Contientious Objector father and an active duty Air Force mother.
