Natasha's guest post for Modesty Series #4

Hello there! So, as you might know I've been doing a modesty series. I thought it would be awesome to have a guest poster to have an second opinion. Here is Natasha from A Modest Fashion Blog by Natasha Atkerson!  

Hi there! My name is Natasha and It's awesome to be guest posting today, blogging is an amazing way to connect with different ladies who I never would've been able to connect with otherwise. Ellie asked me to share a bit about my self and talk about skirts vs. pants.

I'm a 20 year old christian pastor's daughter, living in scenic Montana. I definintely don't let society dictate my style! I'd describe my style as a little bit of everything! I enjoy dressing up, formal/classic outfits, but my favorite is probably a cross between hippie/boho and trendy. I blog over at "A Modest Fashion Blog by Natasha Atkerson"

A heated subject for many is the subject of pants vs. skirts-which Ellie asked me to tackle! I firstly want to say-your conviction is your own! If your mom and dad feel skirts are the only way to go, do not let me sway you. I'm a bit in the middle on this issue. I don't personally believe that pants are sinful to wear. "What about that bible verse: 'The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.' Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV)?" You ask? 

My personal belief is that this verse talks about something completely different than simply wearing jeans or a skirt. I'm not going to get too deep into it, but basically, I believe feminine, modest apparel is somewhat dictated by society. For instance, by today's standards, men in Bible times ran around in dresses! 

Pants can most certainly be modest, feminine and appropriate. The flip side is, they can also be manly, inappropriate and immodest! But the same can be said for skirts as well. The bottom line is: what gives glory to our Heavenly Father and doesn't attract undue attention to myself? For me, this often means wearing skirts. I felt led to start incorporating skirts into my wardrobe a number of years ago. Does that mean I gave pants up? Actually, for a time, yes! Now, however, I wear pants sporadically. I usually wear a long shirt that covers my rear end, which helps ensure comfort and modesty. Skirts are awesome, I love wearing them and I feel very feminine and cute in them. But I also live in Montana where it's cold. I'm not one to wear a skirt in windy -30deg. Weather! 

So, if you take nothing else from my post, take this: figure out your own modesty standards between you, God (and parents if your young). Pants, skirts, it doesn't matter as much as what's inside your heart, your attitude.

I'd love to hear from you on this: do you wear pants only, skirts only, or a mixture of both? What are your personal convictions? How did you arrive at your convictions? 

  

Modesty Series #3

Hello!
So, I've been thinking a lot about what I could write about including Modesty. My dad had this magazine that he gave me called "Modeling Modesty." Well, I want to read more about modesty and get other peoples thought, so I read it. It was talking about modeling modesty. I think Modesty is great! I think people should dress modestly. I really didn't think about me. Am I modeling modesty. I'm not impropriate when I'm dressing, but I don't know if I'm always modeling modesty. What about you? I confess I do not always dress like I'm modeling modesty. Sometimes we need to kind of forget about others being modest and remember yourself. You might not be very convincing when your telling a friend to dress a little more modest when your wearing the same kind of clothes like her. We need to set a good example. Are you a good example of modesty.

1st Timothy 2:9 And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.

1st Peter 3:3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
1st Corinthians 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1st Corinthians 6:19-20Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Do you think your modeling modesty? Are you dressing pleasing for God?

Hello followers and viewers! How was your week? So, today I am doing another Modesty Post. This one is kind of a fun and interesting post about Modesty. If anybody remembers my last post I mentioned a awesome blog Fresh Modesty. Her blog is very interesting because she blogs about life lessons along with some cute and modest clothes!

My Modest Series!!!

Hello Everybody! So, according to the polls percent, more people want me to do a Modesty Series than A uniquely blank series. So I'm so excited! For those who wanted me to do the uniquely blank series I will do it just not now. So any in this post I'm going to share what I think modesty is and what I think about it. I think Modesty means to be covered up into whatever your comfort zone is. If that's makes any sense. An example is me. My non comfort zone is no shorter shorts than in the middle of you knees and waist. I usually wear shorts a little under the knees or over the knees. I think it is very impropriate when girls wear shorts that aren't even longer than the pockets. When it comes to shirts. No belly shirts. I like to be covered up on the top part. Though sometimes you come across cute shirts that are a little low cut. I just wear a cami. I don't like really tight shirts. Though I will deal with skinny jeans and leggings. Leggings need to be covered up with a long shirt or cami though. There's nothing really wrong about shoes, but I don't like really high heels. Especially the thin heels. I will sometimes wear little heels. So, that's kinda all. If you enjoyed this post a lot please give me some suggestions on what do you think I should do next including the subject Modesty. I am not done with my modesty series. This is just the first part! If you want to find a modest blog click here. She's awesome! Thanks everyone!

Peace and Love,
