It depends on what person, who is asking, means by provocative. I think sometimes people can think that I wear something provocative. I try to avoid it, but it is hard because understanding of provocative is different for everyone. Yes, there is a general meaning that everybody will probably agree on, but in a christian community it varies. For some people showing legs is provocative, when I do not think there is something bad about it. Or some people believe that Christian girls should only wear one piece suits, which I think is a little bit ridiculous, but I also get where their opinion comea from. So, my answer would be "because my meaning of provocative is different than somebody's else".

For some I might dress in a provocative manner, but for me I think you can wear whatever you want and be comfortable in it.
to impress people or get attention
On the rare occasion that I do dress provocatively, it is because I was to show myself off or I think I look really good.
