Style Tip

Okay now. So, this weekend I went to the Revolve conference in Atlanta for Christians teen girls. Also, basically it was AWESOME! YEAH! Well I must say my favorite quote from this conference was said during the question and answer portion of it.

The question was about style tips and the response was "Modest is hottest!" The dictionary definition of modest is
having or showing a moderate or humble estimate of one's merits, importance, etc.; free from vanity, egotism, boastfulness, or great pretensions.

Well I would just like to say in your dressing styles you are not there to please some boy or to please some girl but your should be dressing to please God. Not to show off your body like the culture we live in today wants us to do. And in order for us to look like the culture wants us to look like means skinny and "sexy". But, did you know the average teenage girl in America weighs 144 pounds and is a size 12. Our culture does not want us to know that. But, I encourage you to dress the way that you would please God and not go crazy over a weight factor. Because there is a fine like of obsession and health. A lot of girls cross that fine line and end up with a problem. Please do not let that happen to you or someone you know.

[
Jeremiah 4:30] What are you doing, O devastated one? Why dress yourself in scarlet and put on jewels of gold? Why shade your eyes with paint? You adorn yourself in vain. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life.
