Modest for me is skirts below the knee and shirts three fingers below the neck,” said Carissa Blizzard, ALHS junior.

Blizzard has a unique style of which she is very proud.

At a young age Blizzard was dressing like that, though she didn’t always understand why.

“I started reading my bible more when I was about 13,” Blizzard said. “I started to understand that my body is a temple.”

Many people don’t understand why Blizzard dresses the way she does, or believe its because of her religion. Blizzard said she really does it as a personal preference, and that not everybody at her church dresses this way.

“The best thing my mom ever told me to say to people (about the way I dress) is if the bathrooms didn’t have words, how would you know which one to go in? The girls has a skirt.”

Blizzard wears skirts often because she believes they’re modest, but also because she likes to feel like a girl.

“Sometimes pants are the more modest thing to wear.” Blizzard said. “Some skirts girls wear just aren’t modest”

Blizzard has a unique style, and her own reasoning behind it. She takes pride in her personal choices and dresses the way she feels comfortable.
