Gathering at the Well

Today, let's look at these questions:
What am I allowing myself to be influenced by?
Women I admire. Color combination that are beautiful. Sewing Pattern images that give the image that I would feel comfortable. The knowledge of figure shapes is vital for the best fit.
Face shape to be thought about for the neckline to be the most flattering. I think to flatter the face is much more dignified than to place focus on bust. I want men to look eye to eye with me.
Who do I allow to dictate to me what I should be wearing?
The clothing that has been provided me. Dictations are not a part of my attire. I dress in what I feel is appropriate given the place and person I am with or going.
My daughter will correct any tummy showing (shirt too short at the hem) and I love it! We are rather modest just because we do not want to gain inappropriate attentions/intentions. We also consider our bodies as our treasure and we guard them. My daughter wears shorts (just above the knee) under a dress if she wares one. If I feel attractive in it or if it is clean and well maintained. I address the color palate for this is knowledge gained as in what color most flatters you.
How am I representing the God I claim to love and live for?
He is my friend, I would never want to intentionally be an embarrassment to any friend of mine.
Self respect examples the character. I find no need to "claim" to love and live for Him....just being and living within the character that I chose should tell of the love and friendship I have.
Living with friendship and compassion for my fellow humans is how God feels about us...
Many claim and offend those who watch them.
Ask me I will express my faith. I do not push it or "claim" it. What I have watched in my years are how others find a comfort to be able to come to me and ask me what it is that I have that makes my life different. My life is a line and the kindness the hook. I cast out the life I live and if the hook is snagged then the line is naturally drawn in. God never pushes Himself on us. He wants us to want Him.
Do I know the details of how God wants us to live as well as I know the details of what is in fashion?
More so. It is the heart the character again. I do think that simple knowledge of how fit and color apply makes any look timeless. It is the freedom of being fresh and innovative that throws it in the face of being "told" what to do.
I am aware of the color trends and the type of fabrics.
Am I seeking to become conformed to the image of Christ...or the image that our ever changing society throws in front of our faces?
This question seems a bit condemnation in tone.
Seeking is one thing accepting the transformation is another. LOL

Wonderful answers my dear friend, love you.
I love the questions as well as the answers, and so very true. I'm like you about my clothes and make up, I want people to look me in the eyes and see that I AM a very loving person and see love and that I truly care about all walks of life, even when I was younger and my body was more in shape, I still was very conscious about my outer looks, even when I was...well just lets say "wild". Hugs to you always~
