Everyone has a reason why they wear what they wear, so who do you dress for? For the haters/other ladies? For the fellas? For yourself? Do you find yourself having to spend outside of your means to keep yourself up? (ie. I shouldn't use my card on these shoes, but I GOTTA have em for the party this weekend!!) Speak up ladies!

PRAISE THE LORD!!! I only wear pants once a year and that's when my church has it's annual jubilee run and competition. I can't run, shoot hoops, or do an obsticle course in my skirt. (I could...but it would be a very interesting sight. LOL) If it's real cold in the winter I will wear pants under my skirts, but that's rare. I don't just wear skirts because I am saved, but because it makes me feel more like a WOMAN OF GOD!!! I don't believe that pants should be worn in the sanctuary, but I wouldn't knock someone that wore them. The Lord is the only one that can judge or change people, just like he changed me. See, all my pants were tight fitting, because I loved showing off my shape. I loved the attention I got behind it. When I got saved, I didn't feel right wearing pants anymore because I no longer had a seductive mentality. So, for me it wasn't the pants/jeans/slacks that was a problem, it was the person that I was when I wore them. Now when I wear my dresses/skirts my head is up even higher, because I still look good and I'm not giving out the wrong impression. Now when I dress I'm not trying to get the attention of every guy that I come in contact with. Actually, it seems like I get more compliments now than I ever did...who would have guessed that.?! Just because a person wears dresses/skirts all the time doesn't make them saved. They can still be on the road to destruction, just like anyone else. We look at the outter man & God looks at the inner man...so, if you aint right it doesn't matter what you wear, you can still go to hell!

Well, I do agree with you when you said that God looks at the issues of the heart and not the outward appearance. Yet,I don't think there is anything wrong with a Christian wearing blue jeans, slacks, etc. I am a Holy Ghost filled woman of God and I love me some cute blue jeans or nice slacks and I don't wear them in a seductive manner either. Even at my church, which is a non-denominational church people wear slacks or pants suits to church. People look presentable in their pants suits and I don't see anything wrong with that. I assume Sister Tamara that you must be pentecostal. A lot of pentecostals believe that people are going to hell because they wear pants or wear make-up. Which is so very far from the truth. Like you said Tamara, there are a lot pentecostal girls running around with skirts on but still doing things that aren't pleasing in God's sight. The no pants and make-up is not the issue that pentecostal's should be focusing on, but it is the issue of what these people are doing in their daily lives. There are a lot of pentecostal girls that have the skirts on and have their belly stuck out pregnant. So obviously wearing a big long skirt down to the knees in a non-seductive manner isn't helping if they are dropping their draws! (No offense) So the point I'm trying to get across is that focusing on the outward stuff isn't important but the inward man of the heart is the most important. I love me some make-up and clothes. Jeans, slacks, etc. God loves me enough to give me the gift of applying make-up! Yeah, God looks at the inward appearance, but a MAN looks at the outward appearance. HA HA A preacher once told this joke! So I'm sure my future husband is going to like my make-up wearing and blue jean wearing ways! LOL Another joke pastor Creflo Dollar stated: "God said that you should avoid all appearances of sin and that means don't walk around looking like hell has walked through your doors without no make-up on! Ha Ha That joke was too hilarious! God did make everyone beautifully and wonderfully made, but your beauty can be enhanced with some make-up. Thumbup
