It isn’t everyday that such a book comes along that not only speaks invaluable truth into our lives but also provides the methods for applying those truths. The Girl in the Dress by Lori Wagner is one such book. Originally intended for young women, it could easily serve as a valuable resource for any Christian woman with wardrobe questions. It calls us to not only be modest, employing scriptural example as a basis, but it encourages us to be beautiful.
Part of that plan was changing how I looked. I began to dress how I felt a professor would dress–with dignity, class, sophistication, and care. Everyday as I looked in the mirror, my appearance reminded me where I was going and that I could get there!
Whatever your dreams, take every opportunity to encourage yourself. Even looking the part in advance allows you to try out those wings a bit! As we know, we are all in the process of becoming, but we’ll never reach our goals if we don’t begin somewhere.
We can begin being beautiful, godly, holy, elegant women today, as so many of our beautiful sisters prove. Layering is in style and works with casual as well as formal dress; there is hardly a look we can’t make lovely!
This book, although written for a younger audience, is already on the agenda for my ladies here at the church. The pastor is excited about distributing it to each of our women, young and old. Not only does it give a rich variety of perspectives and experiences of women who have made holiness their lifestyle, but the latter section addresses all those wardrobe snags a godly woman faces!
From how to layer items of clothing for a flattering though godly look to the intricacies of shopping techniques, this book is a ‘must have’ for every lady! After reading through it for myself and dog-earing several dozen pages, I bought a second book for my hope chest; someday, my little girl will need it!
