I mean, what is modesty? Really?
Let's look at a definition from dictionary.com.
1. "having or showing a moderate or humble estimate of one's merits,
importance, etc.; free from vanity, egotism, boastfulness, or great
pretensions."
Alrighty, then how about scripture?I know there are a bunch, but for the purpose of this blog, let's look at 1 Timothy 2:9.
"In like maner also, that women adorne themselves in modest apparell,
with shamefastnesse and sobrietie, not with broided haire, or gold, or
pearles, or costly aray"
With that said, why do people buy ridiculously expensive purses, bags, watches ect.?
I was looking through some Apostolic blogs about fashion.. and I was a little upset by seeing lovely ladies, with accessories who's worth could pay off my student loans.... and I don't get it?
I understand if things are found at Thrift stores and what-not, and it's okay to splurge from time to time, but my personal opinion is that we are slowly drifting from modesty when the price of our clothes and accessories are everything but modest.
So I ask - what is modesty? what really is modesty...
Plus, I hate when I look at cute outfits and they are rocking an outfit that is worth like $1,000, because that means that I definitely can't replicate it. lol.
Okay that's all. End of venting session. lol.
