Is it wrong that I don't question my beliefs?

Is it wrong that I've never asked my mom why she's raised my sisters and I to dress modestly and wear skirts?

I've never been one to openly question anything.Sure,I wonder at things but I don't speak my mind. That's just the way I am. But,recently people have asked me things like "Why do you believe what you believe" and "Why do you always wear skirts?"
Q: Why do you believe what you believe?
A; Because that's how I was raised.

But....
Should I question my beliefs?
Well, I think a lot of people (especially in America, since a lot of people in America are Christians) are like that. We're raised believing something and we never question it. There's nothing really wrong with that. But today, we are challenged and questioned about our beliefs. I don't think that's a reason for us to question our beliefs, but rather for us to prepare an answer. A good, logical answer. An Answer that God would have us give.
