Tough crowd!  She's wearing modern shoes with closed toes, pants, and a shirt that literally calls back to her family's ridiculous rules and there are still 35 things wrong with what she's doing.

That's okay. He's forgotten it a few times himself.

Jinger has been shown back home in dresses and skirts and I think it's just done out of respect. I think people are expecting her to throw up the figurative middle finger to her parents to prove that Jeremy isn't calling the shots, she is, but that's just not going to happen. I'm sure she'll still wear traditional Duggar garments when around them in Arkansas until she's more secure in this new stage of life.

Don't forget the part in their book where the girls said it's female family de rigueur to never bend over without plastering a hand to the shirt above your collarbone, lest some male passerby might get a free peek of cleavage.

Wait, doesn't their modest wear render this move unnecessary? One of the upsides to dressing conservatively--and I say this as a voluptuous gal who moves around a great deal while teaching young adults--is that you can relax and move freely without worrying that you're going to be giving someone a peek down your top or up your skirt.  If a Duggar woman is wearing multiple layers and a high neckline, but she still makes a show of clutching her top before bending forward, that strikes me as an arrogant display of aggressive modesty.

The text I bolded could be the subtitle for any thread in this forum.

She may not have gone to Julliard, but it's pretty clear that Jeremy's mother, as well as his sister are talented, well educated and accomplished women.  I hope Jinger doesn't pull out a Duggar violin and jam with them, but I hope their lives do inspire her to pursue further education and/or training in an area that interests her.

Ok, I read it wrong I thought she attended Julliard but it was her instructor Dorothy Delay who attended.

Dorothy Delay also taught at Juilliard, among other schools. </end violingeek trivia>

I've got a big top, so pretty much if I bend over, I'm going to give whoever is around me a sneaky peak if they chose to stare. In the presence of clients and male coworkers, I'm going to cover the top of my shirt with my hand if I have to bend over for any reason. Out anywhere else, no big whoop.

Why should they give a shit about what their kids are doing after they get married.  They don't give a shit about the kids when they are are not married and living in the TTH.

Well, they don't give a shit about the kids in any case. But they always give a big big shit about the kids doing exactly what they want them to do. .... Big difference between caring about the kids and caring about the kids obeying the Duggar way, right?

The very "Sly" Josh seemed to have slipped under the Duggar radar even after he go married. ;)

I wonder how much JB and Michelle are even seeing of Jinger's Instagram! Jana runs the family accounts, and I don't see her going to tell. All the parents seem to do on there is post flowery letters to each other on their anniversary, birthdays, etc, and write a stock message to kids who are having birthdays. I could even see Michelle being okay with it deep down, because she grew up wearing pants, and probably never would have gone on this fundie adventure if not for JB.  JB may even see it as something that will help ratings. However, Jinger is dressing modestly by most standards. I bet if she was out there wearing revealing clothing, like a bikini, they would freak out!

Being told that anything other than dresses and skirts leads to her defrauding men may be the culprit. I give her kudos for just wearing pants after being beaten into thinking she's reposnisble for roaming eyes (and hands). Maybe in the future she'll feel at ease wearing one size smaller. Indoctrination is evil, it just stays in your subconscious, sometimes as long as you live.

Her outfit looks comfy but I noticed she buys her pants a bit bigger and loose. 

Considering she has rarely worn pants in the past, perhaps she prefers them not to be tight fitting, not only perhaps for modesty reasons but also for comfort since she's not used to tight fitting clothing on the lower half of her body.

Is the Holy Goalie ever home to preach hate at his little church? They're in LA today; there have been a couple posts from Jinger as well. I just chose this one since it includes her. 

Not to over analyze her outfit, buuuuut

With the bright pants, she is wearing a v neck shirt. I am a modest dresser, so I recognize this move: she has the shirt pulled up and back so the v isn't as low. It begs the questions: did she pull it back just for the picture? I don't see a cami, did she not wear a cami underneath? I'm not judging, just curious! And really happy for her!

Definitely love that she's experimenting with clothes after wearing nothing but thrifted skirts, big t-shirts, and flip flops from the communal closet. No more blending in with the fundy girls. 

OMG, Jana has discovered Birkenstocks. People can say what they like about those shoes, they hella comfortable and support your feet.

When is Jeremy ever at HIS church? IMO, he doesn't have the dedication that any pastor should have....his interests truly lie elsewhere.

His interests seem to be dressing Jinger up, trotting her around the town, taking pictures of her, & posting the pictures to show how "artsy" he is.   I haven't seen any tending to his flock.

So tell me...how many sermons has Jeremy preached at his church since he married Jinger? I guess marrying a Duggar daughter causes the spouse to lose his work ethic?

Yes, it seems as if it happens instantly. Let's see how long Austin lasts.

They are at a farmer's market.  Are they going to actually buy fresh vegetables or is the farmer's market just a backdrop for a photo shot?

I'm sure it's just because it's a cool thing to do, and they don't intend to actually eat any fresh produce!
