And why should we strive to blend into the background? Why is that more godly? As long as we're not full of pride, or drawing attention to ourselves in an ungodly manner, then being attractive is not ungodly. God obviously loves beauty, why shouldn't we? We're made in his image. Look around you at the beautiful flowers, animals, birds, landscapes... God glories in beautiful things.
I believe the whole 'plainness' philosophy takes scripture out of context.
Didn't Jesus have a nice robe?

Good thoughts!
We are told to let our light so shine that others may see our good works
and glorify our Father which is in heaven. Where does our light shine?
Who is being glorified anyway! The glory of God shone in Moses' face.
The glory of God was manifested in the face of the Son. If Christ is in us,
and is our hope of glory, the light shining in our hearts, give knowledge of
the Glory of God should be seen in our faces.
