I was reading in "Daughters in my Kingdom," yesterday, and found what is probably the best Brigham Young quote I have ever read or heard of:
"I call upon my sisters to...create your own fashions, and make your clothing to please yourselves independent of outside influences."
!!!
I think this is license to dress however I want (as long as it is modest, of course). I used to wear truly outlandish things when I was in high school and college, but felt the need to tone it down after I graduated and entered the job market. I kind of miss it. Wearing weird things, I mean. I don't miss the job market.
If I had my choice, I would wear this kind of stuff all the time, including to church. May I draw your attention to the Gaza and Syrian dresses.

Hah! You crack me up. I saw your note on the previous post about not getting lots of comments, and I just wanted to tell you that I totally love all of your blog posts. They make me smile and laugh and think. So keep it up. I usually read them on my phone, on my Google Reader app, so it's hard to comment.
ReplyDeleteI was about to say, "you crack me up," but the person above beat me to it. You do. You always have.
