Women's clothes?

[MTL]

You know when modesty is good?

When you know enough not to draw attention to yourself,
and thus steal someone else's thunder,
or be disrespectful of the circumstances,
like at a funeral....or a wedding.

Or when a guy that I'm not really into
is obviously chatting me up;
I don't want to hurt him,
but I also don't want to encourage him
to believe he has a chance,
where he does not.

THAT is a time to put my assets under a shade,
so as not to carelessly encourage him.

And by assets, I don't just mean cleavage;
I also mean being slow to laugh at his jokes too much;
not being too effusive, or as personable as I could be.

Going to a job interview,
or to meet your boyfriend's parents for the first time;
or meeting your best friend's husband,
or babysitting children....

In those circumstances, I will make a point of exercising some modesty,

NOT because I have anything to be ashamed-of,
but because the primary objective of the occasion is not one I wish my charms to detract-from.
