Tank tops and temples do not mix

I’m not in Kansas anymore. In Morocco (and Turkey, for that matter – – or any Muslim country), one cannot show the knee, the cleavage, or the shoulder/arm. It’s not that you can’t but it would be disrespectful if you did. So I won’t. Or at least I’ll try really hard not to. Only “certain kind of women” wear clothing that show these body parts. I have a scarf along to use as a cover-up and will buy more along the way which should take care of the shoulder/arm. I’ll wear trousers and longish skirts, which should take care of the knee. As for the cleavage, I’m leaving my décolletage bearing dresses and shirts behind. I just hope feet aren’t a problem because I refuse to leave behind the flip-flop and sandal. Apparently I am a certain kind of woman.
