Fashion Politics: Fashion and Religion? How do you do that?





This was the photoshoot a day before my birthday 12/08/2015. I had so much fun my roommate thought so creatively and it was gorgeous. The leaves went perfectly with my brand new never worn Macy's cape sweater (my mommy had just bought it). It was hard for me to name this post I was really thinking "Hello from the other side..." but then I decided  to go into Fashion Politics which is something I am just learning about. First I do want to talk about how Fashion is so much more than image and a lot of people still think it is. So many people say rude, mean, or degrading things to me but I know that what I am trying to do is spread the glory of God through my personal story and fashion just happens to be a part of that. A lot of Christians say that fashion is not of God and the bible does say and I quote Romans 12: 2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Honestly, I am confused myself because why wis Fashion seen so badly by Christians. I am confused because in God and through fashion is how I tell my testimony. I have talked about this before in another blog post so I will be brief but seriously though I am concerned. I guess I should not feel convicted and I do not. I prayed about it and asked God was what I was doing disobeying Him. In my spirit I did hear Him say, "Look at your blog." And I did and there was not any nude pictures, or pictures with my butt and boobs all out so I guess He was leading me to my own answer. A lot of people might hate me but who cares. I love GOD and I love fashion. Loving fashion does not make me love God any less. I know that God did say do not be concerned with the fashions of this world, but is Proverbs 31 he also says about how the virtuous woman is clothed in strength and dignity and that her clothes are "well-made and elegant." I believe that the day I choose to love and idolize fashion more than I love God then I am sinning, but right now for the people who are telling me I am against God, no offense but get a life. Stop trying to kill my dreams there are demons that need to be cast out and people dying everyday. My fashion sense and me glorifying God and modesty is not going to kill you. This will be my last post about Fashion & Religion because I am so tired of people calling me a devil. Ha! Me a devil because I uplift other girls with body image issues? Me a devil because I am encouraging other women to respect themselves? Wow, sounds real Jezebel like to me *sarcasm*. You can not let people define you not even family members sorry but not sorry because if God is okay with me doing this then I am. God scolds and convicts me about way more sinful things I am doing than some clothes. I never felt once wrong with God doing this. So I am just going to continue to share my testimony and look modest doing it!  PSALMS 139 AND PROVERBS 31
