Since becoming a "seminary wife" I have recently been feeling some unsaid pressure to transform into the stereo-typical-meet-the-duggards-type woman. Now, let me be clear... this pressure does not come from anyone but myself... but none-the-less, I'm feeling it.The seminary Lance is attending is by no means some psycho-rule-enforcing-wacko-commune. Far from it. However, it is understood that men and women should dress in a way that is fairly modest and respectful. Lance often wears a t-shirt and jeans to class and if I'm visiting him on campus I will often wear jeans and a cute tank of some sort.
Although... Lately, I've been noticing that I will carry a sweater with me as well. Just.in.case.
You know... the Seminary Sweater.
Just in case I all of a sudden realize that the shirt I picked out is too low cut, or fits too well... I am suddenly much more aware of how I am dressed compared to others. It's not that I typically dress immodestly... I just find myself analyzing it a little bit more lately. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. And come fall, it won't matter much at anyways... everyone will be wearing Seminary Sweaters...
Don't you worry, Julia. You dress perfectly...always super cute.
ReplyDeleteI understand...the crazy thing is that a lot of female students dress worse than some of the wives...at least from what I've seen...
ReplyDeleteI didn't ever feel a pressure to dress a certain way because I'm on campus so little...but I did feel the pressure to be pushing a stroller pretty quickly!
this made me chuckle. i can see what you mean. at least it's a good excuse to shop for some cute sweaters??
ReplyDeleteI think you should slut it up and test out the non-judgmentalness of Lance's new school ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm blog stalking (via Jenny) and you're a super cute dresser so don't worry. :)
