God forbid if folks from your church catch you wearing something you are comfortable in but that someone disapproves of.

Perhaps, although I can honestly say I have never experienced this. If I did, however, who cares? I don't have time to worry about what other 'saints' think I should or should not do. As long as I am okay with God, (first and foremost), my husband and my pastor, then I guess I'm not too concerned if sister so and so likes what I am wearing or not. .

Ah yes, but there may be things you feel are OK with GOD and your husband that if your pastor gets ahold of you could hear about it either in the office or from behind the pulpit.

God forbid you are ever standing in a mall waiting for a friend at or near the parfume counter, the next thing you know it is being reported you were shoping for makeup.
