This is the average for teachers in Russia to dress. Both old and young female teachers do their best to teach and be respected and look good doing it. Look your best and people will treat you differently. They will treat you better. Something for all of us to reach for!
Taking pride in our appearance means feeling good about showing more of ourselves and letting others, (especially men) appreciate our beauty. We were made to attract. And many believe it is a negative feeling to hide it.
This however, brings up defining the fine line of modesty and immodesty. Often many women defer to culture to dictate what we should wear. The good news is we have the power to move that line. I believe covering ourselves up for the sake of other people’s shame is a way of suppressing women and thus not giving us the freedom to feel good about ourselves! The truth is, we hold our own chains in our hands. We are the ones that can decide to break free from others deciding for us what is modest and what is immodest. again, we can move that line.
Looking good is feeling good. And there are two things we as woman can do to help each other. One is all woman embrace a more alluring, sexy sultry look. Covering up our beauty is like closing our blinds to a beautiful sunrise. All women have something to offer physically as well as mentally. It’s time we were appreciated for both!
Second and last, Woman need to stop judging each other so harshly if a woman wants to dress more attractively. Allow this negative concept of modesty and immodesty be a thing of the past.
To many times I see women in Bar Restaurants, Malls, where ever really, who are covered up like they are ashamed of themselves looking down on women who are dressed alluringly either for their husbands or boyfriends or women who are looking to meet men or women who just feel good about themselves. We need to change that attitude and maybe even join the feel good movement and look sexier ourselves more often. All women, regardless of our shape or size have something to offer and highlight other than our intelligence and sparkling personality. These non physical things do not evoke an initial reaction and attraction and even admiration like our appearance does. My husband and I always remember when we first met. We didn’t say, “Wow, what an amazing personality from across the room!” He was in tight jeans and a black tee shirt and work boots and I was in daisy duke shorts, crop top and heels. Just what he liked! (Just what most men like if they are honest with themselves.) Looking more sexy more often can open up opportunities for women to be admired and complimented by their husbands, boyfriends and even strangers alike. Who knows, by not dressing sultry you could be missing out on a new best friend. Not because someone is shallow, but because of the laws of natural attraction.
The level of what we want to show is up to us and we should not judge each other for it. The faster we can remove the lines of what society calls modest or immodest, the faster we will learn to respect one another.
Feel free to comment. I would Love to hear from you.

This is the standard all women should reach for. It’s amazing that these teachers not only look fantastic but they feel comfortable working in it. And kids are used to women looking this way so they think nothing of this in Europe. Nothing is overly sexual. Maybe that’s why there are fewer sexual harassment issues or issues with sex in general. When you are used to seeing women dress this way there is no big mystery. We can take a lesson from this. (European teachers on break)
