I just thought I’d let you know that I put a link to this post on my ‘Blogoversary Afterparty!’ post on Living Water!

Ladies,

“Let your outward expression be an extension of what is in your heart.” It is not more biblical to wear a skirt vs. jeans vs. a strapless dress or a halter, if done in good taste. All things should be done in moderation and with the conviction that you are held to, not told to do by someone else.

However, I’m also not saying that all things are permissable. What I am saying is that if you listen to the your inner voice, the voice of the Holy Spirit, and use the creativity that you were enabled with, you will find a way of dressing that is appropriate for you and is a unique expression of who you are in the present. We are not called to hide in this world. We are called to share ourselves, share our freedom that comes out of knowing who we are, where we came from and where we are going. We are tapped into the one source of ultimate creativity and expression.

Let your inner joy shine through – in all that you wear – and you will never be accused of being a follower of anything less than your true self. Your clothing should not label you who or what you are. Your actions should.

Cheers!
Mary Beth F.

Yes, I have talked to them over and over again. They see wearing skirts/dresses as more feminine and weary pants as very sloppy.
You’re right, I do need to just keep seeking the Lord, thank you for the encouragement, Alison.

I have 3 pairs of boots that I love to wear Spring, Summer and Fall. A black pair of riding boots, chocolate brown ones and a gold (yes, gold) pair of cowboy boots (by Sam and Libby)

They look great with long and knee (or just below the knee) length skirts.

I get a lot of compliments from people. I always think the shoe makes the outfit. A sneaker, in my mind, almost automatically makes an outfit frumpy! (No offense, but if we are trying to avoid frumpy…..)

I’m in the same boat as you are. I’ve gotten in the habit of wearing leggings, knee-high socks over those, and finally cowgirl boots for footwear. The boots are really useful when trekking through the snow!

I admire you for only wearing skirts and dresses. Although I am a born-again christian, I do wear pants, jeans, dresses and skirts. None of my skirts are ankle length. I’m only 5′2, and an ankle length skirt or dress does not look good at all on me.

Being modest and wearing skirts only don’t get stuck into the have to wear long skirts, you can wear knee-length or calf length. And certainly don’t have to wear the denim jumpers.

I agree with the other buy some stylish skirts and dresses, don’t get legalistic and think you HAVE to wear the jumpers because others do that. You are young and hip, don’t dress yourself older than you are.

Really long socks could work, it depends on the length of the skirt. Long underwear could also work, depending on the length of the skirt. Also, longer skirts are warmer, especially those designed to be warmer (winter skirts).

Hi Anna!

I had just been wondering the same things myself, when I ran across someone’s blog where they suggested for comfort/support wearing those two toned tennis shoes that look like bowling shoes with a casual skirt. (That’s almost kind of retro, come to think of it! Cool!) So since my tennis shoes gave out, I just ordered some and plan to wear them with khaki and jean skirts. I, like you, want to wear skirts more but have had trouble figuring out the staying warm/comfortable part.

I’m still trying to figure out the staying warm in skirts part. I do wear boots to church but they aren’t comfortable to wear all day.

I hope someone else has more ideas?
