Yes. Reading the lives of the saints is sooo so important. When we read about their lives then things like clothes become so trivial. I can't even say I've spent $20 on clothes in the last five or six months. I just stopped buying clothes altogether and I never have problems with modesty (though even before I stopped buying clothes completely...all of my clothes came from verrry cheap thrift stores or were given to me hahaha). If something in my closet is immodest then I just take it apart and use the cloth for housework headcoverings or another piece of clothing (and I'm not a great seamstress either)! Really, it's NOT difficult to dress modestly. Most of the people in my school either thought I was a mennonite or a muslim because they are not used to catholics dressing that way (which is very sad). BUT...no worries because I corrected them fast hahaha =) Even though I now dress pretty plain I think I have more confidence and comfort in my looks than the vast majority of the girls in my school who dress like....ladies of the night
If anyone needs skirts/dresses I can even send you some (compliments of me =) because I have about thirteen or more which I think is excessive.....
