Of course some women are just inherently conservative too. There is NOTHING wrong with that.

Also, your experience with femininity is probably very different from hers. Just something to consider.
These are the reasons my wife dresses the way she does. In fact she covers her small frame up from head to toe and if she were brown skinned and wore a hijab people would mistake her for deliberately being modestly dressed the way Muslim women do. Homestly it's fine by me. I know what's underneath and i find her quite sexy when she's dressed modestly the way she does.
