Just like kids that wear uniforms to school so that everyone looks alike, HOWEVER, they have to wear the designer, expensive jacket to express themselves. It's human nature.

And there's nothing wrong with that. But don't tell me I can't wear a wedding ring at the same time.

(yes, I have a burr under my saddle on the wedding ring thing )

I'm not going to dress like a trash bag so that my husband will be bored with how I look. If you look nice when he met you and you end up dressing like trash, you are changing who you were when you met him. He isn't going to want that. Women wonder why their husbands start looking around. My husband tells me, "I'm so proud to be with you. You make me look good." He's proud that God gave him someone with class. We are supposed to be representing God's kingdom. What about executives in the world? Who is going to respect them if they don't dress decent. If you dress tacky and not your best, how is that representing God and the company you work for? Do people want us to dress like the Quakers and like God doesn't bless us? I'm not dressing like someone on Little House on the Prairie.

Stop worrying about that and start winning some souls!

That from a 24 year old.

Has anyone here said anything about dressing like trash or tacky?

I think UPC women are some of the most CLASSY women there ever has been.

Dress classy, but not showy - - big difference! Attitude is the major difference.

Everyone in our church wears weddings rings, including our pastor and his wife - well - except for me and my husband. We just don't wear them. We hate rings. Not all churches are governed the same.

What cracks me up is the ones that wear "watches" that look like the most gaudy bracelet every, but it's okay because it has a time piece connected to it.

Some you can't even tell it's a watch because you have to open up something to tell the time.

That's the inconsistency stuff. Just give it up and wear a bracelet - that's what they are wanting you to think it is anyway.

I think there is a fine line between someone's personal interpretation of classy vs. showy. Someone may lean toward showy while another is leaning toward classy. It's in the eye of the beholder.

And that's not standard if it is okay in some churches and not in others.

It's always been a personal governance in our area.

I agree - - it's according to each their own taste for sure.

I would NEVER be caught dead wearing a netted hat (the kind that the netting hangs down over their eyes) with a huge feather in it to church, when others thinks that is classy.
