Modesty

Summer months always seem to be coupled with lots of ice cream, volleyball, and of course going to the beach and swimming. It seems like as soon as the winter frost is gone, so are clothes that cover shoulder and knees. Now I'm not saying that people need to wear a winter coat all year long, or that women shouldn't show their ankles, but maybe we should think about how much skin we show, by what we wear. 

Why you might ask?

Studies have shown that the part of the male brain that lights up when viewing pictures of people in skimpy clothing is the same that is associated with tools such as screw drivers and hammers. 

Here is a video about swim suits and how it has evolved in our society:

So when you decide what to wear out the door, think: "How do I want people to view me? How am I representing myself?"
