Hello, dear readers! To go along with my 'theme' of modesty and purity that I have been posting about, I am going to post a somewhat 'debate' that is floating around in the blogging world, and I would like to hear your opinions!

Until I started reading, Sarah Malley's
Before You Meet Prince Charming {visit her sister's blog
here; I'm sure she would appreciate the comments:)}, I never really thought about wearing skirts and dresses to show that I am feminine. I of course, was always taught that I could
never go out in public wearing a dress or skirt
above knee-length, and I still go by that principle to this day. Besides, I feel very uncomfortable sitting in a skirt that is short.
Yet now, I am coming to a point where I am to choose whether or not to wear skirts and dresses all the time, as I know many of you do.
I strive to wear skirts and dresses nearly every-other-day, yet sometimes I fail. :) For you see, one day I may want to be completely {hopelessly:)} old-fashion, wearing skirts and dresses that are sweet and feminine; another day I may want to be completely stylish wearing a cute pair of jeans and more modern blouse.
My skirt collection is not large enough yet to sustain everyday wear, and my dresses I want to keep for my Sunday's best {and I do not have the cost-efficient resources to buy from}. Also, pants are quite pinchy and uncomfortable to me.
Wearing just skirts and dresses or just pants are fine as long as that is your personal conviction. Do not sway just because your friends are wearing just pants and likewise for skirts, because it should truly truly be your personal decisioned and what God lays on your heart.
I have been really, inspired and encouraged by watching the Duggar family {19 Kids in Counting's new season is on TLC on Monday nights at 9:00 PCT!:)} and their firm beliefs. {Back up [or state your opinion of] the Duggars by commenting on the post link listed above}. When I first started watching their show, I wanted to become more like them; wearing skirts all the time and such.
Now, I want to hear from you! Perhaps, your comments will encourage me to make a more 'permanent' decision. Do you wear skirts and dresses daily? If you do why? What is your personal conviction?
Or do you prefer jeans? Or do you wear skirts and dresses and pants? Cannot wait to hear your opinions and perspectives!
Also, please, if you have some great links to modest skirts and dresses store, I would greatly appreciate it and would love to visit the shop!
I also want to include that I am not saying one cannot accomplish anything with skirts as you can with jeans; it has been proven that you can do anything in skirts and dresses, yet I am not a sewer, nor again, have the resources to purchase a bunch of skirts and dresses, and do not want to ruin what I have already.
Blessings,
Grace
P.S. I am going to be hosting the Feelin' Feminine Challenge in the month of February for those who would like to join me next month!
