I also feel strange in pants and love when I can put a skirt on in place of the pants that are sometimes necessary right now for different reasons. <br /><br />I look forward to reading about the warmth factor of skirts; that will be much help. <br /><br />Thank you for all the work you put into this blog; it is such a blessing to me and I check it daily for updates!Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-35823568495244086432011-04-28T16:33:16.954-05:002011-04-28T16:33:16.954-05:00Thank you so much for this post!

It is a joy to see his eyes light up when he sees me. He says he loves it! He said I've always looked pretty and modest in pants or skirts but he loves that I am beginning to share my faith more by living out the convictions that God has placed on my heart to show my feminity by wearing skirts only. Thank you so much for this series...and for sharing your husband's honest experience and thoughts on the topic. :D<br /><br />You are such a blessing!<br /><br />Building home with Him,<br /><br />Mary JOyMary Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898673791443240816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-25250589792083913782011-04-28T06:52:34.815-05:002011-04-28T06:52:34.815-05:00This is a beautiful post.

Modesty in clothing and in character...both are so at odds with our world. I also struggle with how to explain the importance of modesty simply. Also how to teach children, both sons and daughters (although I don't have daughters yet:) about why being modest is so important. I would love to read more on this topic.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-70361844001022871792011-04-28T05:41:39.350-05:002011-04-28T05:41:39.350-05:00We plan on covering that very topic in just a few ...We plan on covering that very topic in just a few weeks!

It took me a long time to get back on track and a lot of heart ache. Now I wear skirts all the time (Emily I do wear track pants at home in winter) and learning that it is ok to be different and that journey of "being different" is not one taken alone, but with God. Now I feel strange if I put on pants, I feel like a boy rather than a feminine woman. <br /><br />PS (to your wife) it would be good if you could answer Emily's questions as I know many girls struggle with keeping warm in skirts - I wear tights all the time in winter and find that I am warmer than I am in trousers. <br /><br />In ChristFinding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-63983267943698528412011-04-27T13:26:32.271-05:002011-04-27T13:26:32.271-05:00Thank you for this great insight to man's view...Thank you for this great insight to man's views of modesty. Always a good thing to hear.<br /><br />I don't have Facebook, but I still wanted to comment on a topic i would like to see written about.<br /><br />I am very new to the only skirt lifestyle. In fact I only wear skirts in public; at home I still wear pants. I go to a secular college where I get comments on my skirts fairly often. How do you handle the comments from non-Christians and Christians alike who don't understand your choices? Its not happened yet, but I could guarantee you that no one outside of my parents will understand why I choose to wear only skirts; when they ask. <br /><br />I can't stand legalism where they say its a sin to wear pants. Our family has been tortured by people like that in the past. So I don't want to look "holier than thou" or very pious about wearing only skirts. But I still want others to understand where I am coming from and that this is a personal conviction for me straight from God. No one told me to dress like this; and I don't believe its holier. <br /><br />I would appreciate any insight into how to handle situations like this when they arise.<br /><br />Also, how do you stay warm in the winter? LIke I said, this is all new to me; its only been 7 weeks that I've been wearing only skirts; so I'm still learning how to do this. Normally in the winter, I just avoided all skirts and dresses even to church because I hate being cold.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-67692461084049522112011-04-27T13:18:54.990-05:002011-04-27T13:18:54.990-05:00Thank you for sharing!Thank you for sharing!Mama to 12, so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759055814570254094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-74324082767086593902011-04-27T11:37:40.187-05:002011-04-27T11:37:40.187-05:00What a wonderful post!
