I am just beginning my journey on skirts only/mostly and I have yet to hear negative comments from anyone about it. If you follow the convictions our Father places on your heart then He will bless you and protect you immensely. Best of luck to you on your journey!Sweet Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760981983345288171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927164966553571226.post-11548447631719961102008-06-18T17:33:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:33:00.000-04:00I am on the same path as well.

But I also feel called to it, and I think if I could get out of the jeans habit I would be fine. Definitely something to think about, and something I want to teach my daughter by setting the right example.catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682346605272857581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927164966553571226.post-86456568585051542152008-06-18T08:20:00.000-04:002008-06-18T08:20:00.000-04:00I know we live in different countries, but I have ...I know we live in different countries, but I have worn skirts full-time for years. I had a break about three years ago for a few months when I wore some pants but I was never happy, and I reverted to skirts only. Nobody has ever commented to me about it, even when I stopped wearing pnats again.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I have thought "I should ahve worn pants" was a boat trip out to sea, where I had a wobbly moment caused by my skirt not allowing me the same modest freedom of movement as I boarded. That's it. In like ten years. <BR/><BR/>Right now I have two linen skirts, one cord skirt and one denim skirt. It works fine.<BR/><BR/>If you feel that God wants you to wear skirts, just wear 'em! I think we can be more worried about what people will think - I read about a woman who wore just one dress for a whole year as some sort of art thing, and she said that people didn't really notice because people aren't that bothered about what other people wear. I have to say since I cured myself od Gothardesque obsessing about other people's modesty I no longer notice or care about it either.<BR/><BR/>skirts are so pretty and Maryish, too :o)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907284328066937884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927164966553571226.post-8113216196417244752008-06-17T21:57:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:57:00.000-04:00ieThis is an issue that’s cropping up for me too. ...ieThis is an issue that’s cropping up for me too. I would consider full time skirt wearing if I could figure out how. I can’t seam to find cute everyday sort of skirts. I’ve considered learning to sew to make my own and one day maybe I will. In the mean time I’ve simply moved toward always striving to look feminine (as much as possible for a slight tom boy) and avoid an androgynous look even in the jeans. I’m a bit past the wearing tight clothes age, gravity being the force of nature it is and all, so that’s not an issue any longer, but looking nice, and feminine, and modest w/o being to casual is something I’m working on too.<BR/><BR/>I’ve been thinking that maybe there’s a niche market for modest clothes for girls & women out there. Cute and modest with out the whole Little House thing, just seams so hard to come by.Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453734960620777549noreply@blogger.com
