Resources

In conjunction with teaching, I wanted to show that there are a host of resources available on modesty, both spiritual and secular. If our school were to decide to move forward and teach this topic, there are many options available. I have collected here a small list of various books and articles on modesty, as well as a list of modest clothing stores that sell modest and stylish clothing.

Books:
Secret Keeper: the Delicate Power of Modesty, by Dannah Gresh
The Look: Does God Really Care What I Wear? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue, by Wendy Shalit
Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good, by Wendy Shalit

Articles:
"GirlTalk": blog posts on modesty
"Beyond the Eye-Candy: Young women issuing call to modesty, healthy images"
"Anti-Britney, the New Look"
"Modesty Revisited" - Boundless.org
"The Beauty in Modesty" - Boundless.org

Modest clothing stores: Down East Basics, Christa Taylor, Modbe Clothing, and Shade Clothing.
