Please, if you want the pearl of great price you have to buy the entire field. It's not a situation where you choose either / or.
I honestly give you more credit than to think you honestly believe that what is outward doesn't affect holiness.

While I understand what you are saying, I don't believe outward modesty has anything to do with holiness. It's two separate issues that can be joined together, however, I know lots of people who dress modestly that don't have any more holiness than any of my cats.
I do believe that lack of modesty can indicate lack of holiness, but they are still separate issues.
