Summary

Cultural taboos and prohibitions can feel etched in stone for many Latter-day Saint women. Even in things so personal as what to wear to church, we may feel little room to deviate from what’s expected.

0:49.0	So we might as well take like the lower version of that,
0:51.9	the more teelestial version of that topic because that was a big topic about prayer and personal authority and so right we're just going to take it down a notch and talk about stuff we wear.
1:07.0	Stuff we wear and I mean we're going to focus on two relatively unrelated things that we wear, but hopefully it's going to come together as a cohesive conversation.
1:19.0	I hope so.
1:21.0	Because who gets to control what we wear, Cynthia? Oh my gosh. I know a lot of people want to
