What's Wrong With Being Modest?

This is a video I watched recently that has some interesting information. I'll be honest, as a woman, when I heard 'modesty,' I thought 'repressive.' It seems that a lot of pressure is put on women about what they should and should not do, and modesty in my mind was just another tool to that repressive end. But as I go along my christian journey, I have come to realize that modesty is not that at all. Modesty is beautiful. 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 says;

"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

If my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, why would I dishonor Him by exposing my body unnecessarily? I would not. There is nothing wrong with modesty at all. Since I am aiming to please God, not man, I will choose to dress modestly to honor him.
