Our appearance matters, that is who we are choosing to share with the world

Many of us don't pay attention to what we see around us, yet we are subconsciously influ- enced. We let society tell us what is moral and what isn't. Just because society tells us it's ok, doesn't mean that we should accept it. As Christians, we should be aware of how we influence the world around us

There are others that argue it doesn't matter what you wear. Just like a flower, it's what's inside that matters. “Beauty is not about looks, makeup or clothes. True beauty comes from being yourself.” We should be able to wear whatever we want, because our looks do not define who we are.

The world has a vast variety of clothing choices. Just like during Creation, we have the choice to make right or wrong decisions. When we take the time to learn about what is moral and modest, then we can discern what the best choice is. Not everything is meant to be worn, just because it's for sale.

There are some that argue that because there is a depending factor on the belief of modesty, that is the evidence for there being no modesty or immodesty. Some wear less than others, depending on what is known and what is believed. Different eras had their own beliefs on what was to be acceptably modest in society.

Just like how a teacher comes prepared and intentional about their looks, that's how we should also be. When we aren't inten- tional about how we appear, it leaves room for misunder- standing and misjudgment. We dress how we want to be treated, so we shouldn't dress in a way that is untrue to ourselves.
