Sydney Allen speaks on Modesty vs. Immodesty...

                                                    Sydney Allen, 21

Sydney Allen currently attends University of Texas (Austin) and is a 4th year Elementary Education major. When she graduates she will then go on to shape the minds of young children. It is important for them to have the proper education that will allow them to excel not only in school but in their every day lives. There are so few good teachers in this world that truly cares about the well being of their students. Sydney Allen will be that one in a million teacher that will help our children be successful.

During Sydney Allen's interview I asked her to shed a little light on the topic this week, "Modesty vs. Immodesty...Who's coming home to meet the parents?"

"I think one of the most important things to state first is that not only is modesty shown through attire but through attitude and personality. I think every woman can appreciate a man who not only dresses to the T but also carries himself in a very humble way. Although the importance of a woman dressing modestly is discussed more, as women I think we need to make our preferences known. I personally consider a man who dresses well very intriguing, simply because it’s somewhat foreign these days. Dressing well can encompass many different styles. Personally, I love cardigans, for myself and for men. Why? It’s just something about man sweaters that yells classy. Something as simple as what we wear can show outwardly what we think of ourselves. Although we like to say we don’t judge people on what they look like, we can’t deny the fact that we weigh heavily on what we see first. Basketball shorts vs slacks, muscle shirt vs button down. It’s all a matter of balance. If the man expects the woman to carry herself modestly then so should he. Birds of a feather flock together or in my case birds with cardigans."

Thank you Sis. Sydney for your words and allowing me to feature you on my blog! I pray Allah (God) continues to bless you in your endeavors!

  1. I agree modesty isn't just your attire. Modesty is communication. I say that because communication is only 7% word 18% of communication is tone, that's your spirit your confidence and the other 75% is physiology, which is the way you carry yourself, so if you dress a certain way then you begin to communicate differently without having to open your mouth. The way you dress yourself determines your mood, So dressing modest is important for both man and woman light travels faster than sound so that mean you will see a person before you here a person.
