It is possible to dress in a way that pleases the Lord (modest, clean, sharp, well-put-together, etc.)without looking like the world!

Christians should not 'stand out' in the wrong way. People mean well, but it is possible to get off 'on the wrong foot' if not Spirit led.

Such as looking like sasquash unkept, unmatching, unmanicured, untrimmed which doesn't make us anymore holier as women. Now, don't get me wrong I love flip flops, but you couldn't pay me enough to wear socks like that! Foolish traditions as those its no wonder the rest of the world mocks Christianity.Jessica R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15215341127957639324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16724536.post-55814030120220195522008-08-07T17:58:00.000-04:002008-08-07T17:58:00.000-04:00Thanks for your encouragement, Susan.

I have worn skirts and dresses almost my entire life (and I'm 43, so that's a long time), and have managed to stay fairly up to date with my wardrobe and kept myself looking like a decent woman rather than something that stepped out of a rag box. I say - go for it, and don't apologize!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733406219995902188noreply@blogger.com
