As a long ago graduate of 12 years of Catholic school, to me the use of the word modest definitely implies control, judgement and denial of healthy sexuality. It makes me cringe. I don't wear tank tops, low cut blouses, short skirts, etc. but would never describe my style as modest. With the polarity current in the US, "non-modest" dressing certainly has a subtext of immodest and shaming.</p>leenycThu, 03 Dec 2015 10:14:28 -0000http://www.wardrobeoxygen.com/2014/04/jjill-linen-review-giveaway.html#comment-1317240483<p>Love the JJill flared cotton tunics, and tank tops. They wear really well. They don't have a Brooklyn or Manhattan store, so I have to do online shopping. </p>leenycThu, 03 Apr 2014 15:32:48 -0000http://brooklynbased.net/everything/classic-brooklyn-books/#comment-13272228<p>I know. I've been looking for them for a young girl in my family. I read these books to my kids in the 80s, and haven't seen new copies in years. You could try Powell books in Portland, OR. They have everything, I think!</p>leenycFri, 24 Jul 2009 10:41:30 -0000http://brooklynbased.net/everything/classic-brooklyn-books/#comment-13269558<p>For children, the probably out of print books of author Ruth Chew, who sets magical adventures in the Botanic Garden and other Brooklyn locales.</p>leenycFri, 24 Jul 2009 09:30:36 -0000
