I think many readers might be interested to see another warm, winter option! I would imagine an athletic skirt and leggings combo or a skort would probably be the best option?

Mrs D, Thanks for the link! The skirt does look very warm! I think that for hiking in the mountains, an athletic or denim skirt with leggings underneath should work out fine!

That mindset permeates Christian culture today, and it has done so much harm. And what you said about skirt-wearing based on biblical values simply makes sense. Oh, modesty is an area in which we need to reawaken the church! It is perhaps not a coincidence that I came to headcovering and skirts-only as well as deciding to let the Lord guide our family size at roughly the same time.

I think that many of us are simply held hostage to the mainstream forms of lukewarm Bible interpretation and Christian living. Walking away from those bonds has given me such a sense of freedom.

Thank you so much for leaving your very interactive comment, in which you closely interact with some of the things I said in my article! It was both extremely interesting and encouraging to read your thoughts! Your comment about coming to a belief in modesty, headcovering, and letting God guide your family size: it was pretty much the same for me. After all, the real issue behind the issue is the condition of our heart: do we have a humble heart willing to submit to our Lord, or are we still struggling to give Him control?

And in order to give Him control, we must have faith. So ultimately, I would say this is really a faith issue. When God starts working on our faith, it transforms everything!

Christian, not knowing of this either, but still preconceiving the concept of 2Timothy I see that you are very passionate about the King James Version. Normally, I would not allow comments that spark debates see the link in the sidebar to my Comment Policy , but in this case, I appreciate the opportunity to clarify my stance on this subject. After reading James R. However, I do enjoy reading the KJV in my personal study and quote from it on my blog.

Many people are familiar with its wording, and it is not only very literal but very poetic, too, which I like. With modern discoveries of many more manuscripts than were available at the time the KJV was written, we have literally thousands of copies on which to rely for the most accurate translation of the Bible possible.

Any discrepancies are minor and do not affect the main message of the Bible: the Gospel. Thank you for your comment, since I think that you have good motives in wanting to share what you did. I am a 62 year old woman; saved age Compared a verse and made my decision. Acts in the message bible sealed it as anathema to me.

However, I will not say KJV is necessary, by any means. The Holy Spirit is able to instruct through most versions; perhaps avoid the most recent.

Keeping diligent and listening to Jesus. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about that topic, Meg! Hi Thank you for your post. And want to learn more on how to do it. Jeans are not tight i like loose one. Most time i wear a light jacket on me if am wearing a sleeveless shirt to cover my arms. How would you advise someone to dress for the cold canadian winter and windy times with skirts and dresses please? Thank you. Thanks for your comment! I always love to hear from other women who are seriously seeking how to be modest.

Dressing for the winter: I adivise long, denim skirts in an A-line or fairly straight this keeps them from flying up. At least down to the lower calf, or preferably the ankles. Underneath, wear warm leggings or snug-fitting sweat pants. Tuck these into tall boots that way nobody will see them.

You can also wear a warm, cotton slip over the leggings and under the skirt, if you like. If you wear a long jacket or sweater over some layered shirts, and put a cute scarf around the neck, that should keep you plenty warm! Hi Ber! I live in Wisconsin where it can get very cold. Last winter the polar vortex hit and boy! THAT was cold! I wore flannel long johns under my long skirts on really cold days.

Also, on normal cold days, thick tights-I think they were designed for cold weather- paired with a slip were my go to choice. I hope you find my ideas helpful! Modesty is so important, and has been rather avoided until the last decade, as there has been an awakening toward holiness. Thanks for posting on the subject. The role of woman has been deflated and then falsely inflated, morphing into females that are stubborn, sensual, overly ambitious, self-centered, etc.

Sad, but knowing is essential in how we raise our children. Pray, pray for them. The world is out to destroy. I truly appreciate your comments about modesty and the role of women! I think the stealthy agenda to ruin family comes from the Enemy, since he knows that a society without strong families will be more susceptible to his evil devices. That excites me and gives me hope! You really made some good points. I have started to dress in skirts and dresses and I have been covering my hair for a little while now.

Thanks, Emily! Please feel free to keep me updated on how things go for you, and ask any questions you have. I would be happy to offer my support in any way I can! Hello Jessica! Thank you, this is such an encouragement! I was wondering, at what age to you switch your little girls to skirts only? From birth to 6 months they are always in pyjamas, but after that what do you do? Thanks for taking the time to comment!

How nice that you have begun to wear skirts and dresses only! Before that, when they are learning to walk and are afterwards getting potty trained, it can be a bit tricky to wear dresses, though I do have them wear them some of the time.

I do have some shorter baby dresses that I sometimes put on her, however. Better, though, for them if they learn to like it. I am with you Jessica — from as early as possible. I put my daughters in dresses for going out dressed up, from the first and wherever possible over the baby grow etc at home. Certainly once they are able to walk confidently a dress with suitable underthings is no problem. I love to wear skirts and dresses I prefer them to jeans, pants, I feel so much more attractive, accepting and grateful for my figure, your article is great and feels supportive.

I truly feel it was a meant to be dressing somewhat modest and with dresses and skirts. Their principal joins us as we chat. Do many? It takes time to change social norms embedded over many decades. So is it unequal treatment to require girls to wear skirts while boys can wear trousers to school? And could not allowing boys to wear skirts also emerge as an issue?

The Equal Status Act prohibits discrimination by schools on gender and other protected grounds, and a pupil, suing through a parent, can bring a claim to the Workplace Relations Commission. While it is not legal to discriminate between genders where it adversely affects one of them, it is up to someone to bring a legal challenge to test it.

This is what she said;. I myself worked in an office, where it was a pre-requisite that the ladies wore skirt suits, heels, and power shoulders. We also went on to discuss a very vivid and deeply impactful childhood memory that I have of being bought a beautiful sailor dress sporting a peter pan collar, puff sleeves and tiered skirt, which came with matching lace gloves.

Oh how beautiful it was, and such a treat - but some comments from our immediate family about how impractical it was, not to mention the waste of money it must have been, left me feeling deeply ashamed when I tried it on in front of them. I ached to wear something pretty, but when I put it on, the dress represented humiliation for even daring to dream.

I think for many of us, we can unwittingly carry these false beliefs into adulthood. Never truly becoming or growing into the women we dream of being. Add to this newer issues such as our weight, postpartum body fluctuations, what our friends might think - ad infinitum.

Darling are you dressing as you wish? That was for other girls…. Some days, it still feels like make believe. Especially when the media push this narrative that daily dress wearing and presenting as overtly feminine is only for devout religious ladies, or worse, strictly for weak women who are living under their husbands thumb. Man-up to get ahead. Dresses are of course not the be-all-and-end-all of what defines femininity, but it is a good visual example of how it sets us apart as women. Skirts, and indeed dresses do not equal weakness… We do not have to behave and look like men in order to get ahead.

At 35 years old, I should be able to make the choice of what I dress myself in without all the emotional baggage, not to mention the old and new shame that comes with it. Comments dressed up as polite inquiries barely mask the hint of snark and judgement. You never get this when you wear the modern uniform of skinny jeans.
