My modest attire is that often worn by Muslim women. I wear skirts and dresses and cover my hair. But what if I wanted to get active? Have you ever tried running in a long skirt or dress? It makes sports activities a little restricted.
This may suit many women but for me, once an active child and teenager, it mean restricting many activities I enjoy. I am less of an outdoors person and that doesn't make me happy. So I have set out to find an outfit I can play sport in whilst still being covered. Many will disagree with the choices I will make. Some will criticise my covering and suggest covering makes me unhappy. But I have already said modesty feels very much a part of me. Others will suggest that my clothing is too revealing. Probably is for some standards of modesty but I have come to a conclusion. If I am happy I am a better person. If I am unhappy I start to rebel and resent. After 6 months of health issues I am trying to get healthy. In fact I am determined to get healthy and stay modest at the same time.
