My Thoughts: "Classy" vs. "Trashy"

8:34:00 AM

For some weird reason if it's any group of individuals I like to keep up with most, it's basketball wives. Those both on screen and off screen tend to capture my attention and it's quite enjoyable sometimes. If we can retract a few months, back in December, Ayesha Curry whose the wife of baller Steph Curry from the Warriors .... (I'm sure we ALL know about him nowadays), made a remark about an issue and her statement pretty much went viral. Here's what she tweeted: 
I didn't quite agree with anything she had to say but I kept my thoughts to myself and sooner enough, discussions about that topic ended. Well, that's what I thought until Nina Westbrook, wife of Russell Westbrook from the Thunders recently decided to post on her instagram a photo and caption along those same lines. Here was her statement: 
Now, while I strongly believe everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions, I figured, why not express mine about the subject. After Nina decided to reinforce Ayesha's stance, I felt compelled to actually be an unpopular voice. 

During the initial Ayesha fiasco, everyone seemed to be totally on board with her.... even those that reveal their bodies all time. Myself, however, would like to question both ladies and ask "What exactly is respectful in your eyes?"... As I would consider myself to be a "classy, modest" girl, I would never downgrade another lady for what she chooses to wear. It's absurd to think that we can easily judge others when God is the only person we have to face in the end. We are living in a world that teaches females to be confident everyday. When were there ever fashion commandments? SHOW US THE RECEIPTS!

Why make another person feel embarrassed for wanting to wear something that's in your view "disrespectful"? With the latest trends, fashion obviously has a new meaning. Womens-wear is no longer completely made of a-line dresses, slacks, and long sleeve tops. Get with it. It's 2016, not everyone will be dressing like your great-grand aunt Bertha.

While I do agree we should all have some sort of self-values, dressing is a form of self expression. I'm not saying it's okay to walk around with a sheer frock on that exposes everything, (we do have to keep in mind that our bodies should be the temple of the Lord), however, here's my thing, do you.... and let others do them. It is totally respected that Ayesha only wishes to show off her goods to her husband but there is a way to do things. It's truly disappointing to see that my fellow ladies who thrive on Christianity and are "dedicated" to women empowerment choose to bring their point across with a very demeaning approach. How is this suppose to encourage anyone? I hate this tendency of  belittling others because they don't share your views. Try to praise modesty without the comparisons "trashy", "trendy", or "shameful"... It shows that you consider yourself better than others. 

It seems as if they're trying to force their outlook on fashion on everyone else and I'm not here for it at all. It is absolutely out of line in my opinion and I don't understand why they had to go there with this. I'm really sitting here like is a crop top really that bad? What about a bralet or some shorts? Will we be condemned by Ayesha and Miss Nina? 

I wish someone in the fore-front had oppose Ayesha's point. I think the negative comment actually made some people feel bad about themselves and I honestly believe people only cheered her on because of who her husband is. We all have things we should be accountable for .... Your fashion may be "perfect" but what about other things? It should never be a war about what 'style' is better. It's easy to say how you feel but let's do and say things with a more positive mindset.
