Clothing ain't optional.

Necklaces, Earrings, Baubles, & Rings are just that---optional & totally unnecessary.

Interesting that you should discard colorful clothing as being ornamental, when the scripture clearly mentions "modest apparel" in the SAME VERSE that it says not to be "adorned with gold and pearls".

Just another example of selective interpretation.

No offense to you, Ron, but to those who weren't raised in this, it's hard to keep up with the unwritten rules.

Sure. Colorful clothing draws attention to the wearer.

So, if your argument is that we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves, maybe we should wear drab grays, blacks and whites, with no buttons?

This would certainly fulfill the scripture directing us to wear "modest" apparel.
