16. College 101: From Coverings to Camis and Crocs
09/26/23 • 54 min
In this episode, Rebecca and Naomi discuss the fraught issue of fashion and personal style after growing up in plain culture where your clothes not only broadcast your church identity and social status but also are interpreted as indicators of your spiritual health and family cohesiveness. Rebecca and Naomi don't tell you what to wear, but they do suggest some ways to reframe familiar narratives about modesty and guilt that have helped them feel less judgmental and more accepting of themselves and others.
