Link to the picture of them with tucked in shirts and nice shoes who may have missed it last year.

That's actually a very nice photo. I wonder, though, if any of them has ever tucked in a shirt. I have no inclination to sort through past photos ( @nst, what do you have in this regard?), but, geez, skirts look nice with a tucked in shirt and cute belt.  No less modest, either. 

Personally, I think I look awful if I tuck my shirt into my skirt. I'm quite short-waisted and busty, so the end result is that I look very busty (which would not be considered modest by this lot ).

Jana and Joy look a bit curvier than their sisters, so it wouldn't surprise me if they'd been shamed for tucking their shirts in and "showing off" their figures in the past.

I'd never tuck a shirt into a skirt.  I used to have to for school, but then we started sneaking the fitted blouses which stuck out at the bottom (to go around a hip) and even the teachers agreed that those shirts couldn't be tucked in.  I haven't done so since to the extent that I don't understand why someone would unless wearing a full suit/very formal attire.

Well yeah of course but especially so with those glasses and that super cool white hat.

Does he have those transition lenses? I always like making fun of my brother when we come into the house and it still looks dark on his glasses

It looks like it. That right there is why I didn't get transitions, though I kind of regretted it this morning on my way to work when the sun decided to come out from behind a cloud halfway through my commute, just to shine on all the big puddles on the road. Of course, I was wearing my normal glasses, with my polarised sunglasses sitting in my bag in the back of the car, because it had been cloudy and grey when I left the flat.

I see she is back to tight shirts and ugly skirts!!   Lol

 

disclaimer: the skirt is only mildly ugly. I just couldn't resist the rhyme.

Transition lens seem like a good idea, until you're inside and your glasses still won't go right. I've been that doofus. Never again!

We do a volunteer night at a big rodeo for the military in Houston. We talk to the veterans while they are waiting for the busses to go back to the base and they laughingly call their military issue glasses "birth control" glasses because they are so ugly. He is wearing "birth control glasses for sure.

@Carm_88,  if you have two pairs of glasses -one of them with regular clear lenses,  would Transitions get dark enough to work as sunglasses?

They used to. Back when they first came out, I don't know if they still do. Mine went full on sunglasses until I stepped inside. took forever to get back. But I am guessing you could just use them as sunglasses.

Well, apparently we've now discovered a form of birth control that's acceptable to the Duggars.

They do not offer the proper coverage for those who are trying to avoid conditions such as macular degeneration, per my eye MD. So for light eyed folks, or those with a family history, transition lenses should not be used as sun glasses.

The modesty is more attention seeking than anything.

This times a million! Good to know that Jessa will continue to continue the family tradition!

Breaking news - Ben has informed us on their blog that putting the baby in a stroller and going for a walk is a good family outing.  

Gosh, who would have thought it.  I wish I'd had such advice when my kids were little.

[2manyKidzzz]

Much easier to take that walk when the husband doesn't have a full time job. I thought that was pretty funny.

They really think they are doing us a favor, don't they?  What a dumb family.  The Duggars Dumbers.

WTH was that? How is this blog worthy? And Ben those glasses look awful on you.

If you looked up Hypocrite in the dictionary, there'd be a picture of the Duggars.
