WHY DO YOU DRESS THE WAY YOU DO
The way you dress determines how you'll be addressed.
I discovered that a lot of people copy others dressing without knowing why those people dress that way and the meaning attached to the way they dress. They just follow the trend, dress that way because everyone around them is dressing same way! That's why the peer you keep play an important role in your life.
I walked pass a lady this morning. she was putting on a skirt and top (in my mind I was like "aawwwww you look good") then I looked at her legs she was wearing a leg chain (hers were made with beads). I wondered, the way this lady dressed on cooperate made me feel she must be working in an office then why the leg chain??
years back my mum took me to a seamstress shop to learn tailoring, so I began to learn how to sew untill I finally retired myself after almost a year. This woman close to my Madam's shop loves jewelries, so that day one of these guys selling jewelries was passing by then my Madam called him to get some ear rings. The other woman rushed to see if she can get some too and after checking she could not find any to her taste but finally decided to get a leg chain. she insisted that my Madam get it for her (Because she has been a nice person to her), she paid and got the leg chain for her.
After she left I asked my Madam if she knows the truth behind wearing leg chain? she replied "No, but you know this woman like jewelries so I decided to buy it for her" I then told her the meaning behind wearing a leg chain. leg chains on the right leg is used to identify prostitutes. Only prostitutes wear them, then keg chain on the left leg symbolises Lesbians. All lesbians and prostitutes understand this sign. Those that wear them on both legs are both lesbians and prostitutes so people in their cadre can easily identify them.
This woman excited about wearing a leg chain like others is not aware of why most of them wear it. she's just following the trend to feel among. ignorance has robbed us of a lot. To every fashion and style there is a meaning attached. I could recall when the style of exposing ladies burst was reigning.. I saw ladies I least expected this from, wearing such clothes and I began to wonder why... I later discovered that it was the latest trend and everyone wants to keep up to it.
one thing to note is that you are not the same with other people. you are unique and different! you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your state since creation is the best version of yourself so don't try to be like OTHERS. Do not copy what they do!!!
Every child of God is Cultured to dress in different way due to the civilization they have. We know that our body is the dwelling place of God. our bodies is the temple of the Holy Ghost so we don't put on anything anyhow. we are conscious of the personality resident in us.
I was speaking with a mentor of mine and she told me she's always surprised when she sees believers dress indecently. she told me years back when she gave her life to CHRIST , after this experience, no one told her what to wear and what not to wear. She was conscious of the life she now live and with the Bible as her guide there's no way she will be comfortable wearing anything anyhow....
why do you dress the way you do?....
