What Not To Wear

Don't worry I was not on TLC's hit show What Not To Wear, rather I held an event at church in which we called "What Not To Wear." This event was for 7th-12th grade girls and their moms. I started thinking about this idea back in August, but boy when Sunday morning came around I was super, suuuupppppppeeeerrrr NERVOUS. Talking in front of one hundred moms and girls is not my favorite thing. The good thing is I only talked for 10 minutes and the rest of our time interviewed a panel. The best part is that the Lord is completely in control and he carried me through the whole thing.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3

There were a couple of things I wanted the girls to take away from the morning:

1. We are all born into this world with a sense of shame and we are now trying to hide that shame. In relation to what we were, we hide our shame by either wearing very little or wearing several layers of clothes.

2. To start thinking about the clothes you wear and why you wear them.

3. We can't change on our own. We are in great need of a Savior who can enable us to find our satisfaction in Him, not our clothes.

The pictures show some of the details and fun I had planning for "What Not To Wear."

 

One afternoon, I got together with some girls to paint. They did a fabulous job and made great decorations!

This card was placed on every chair and I encouraged the girls to put the card somewhere they would see it when getting ready. I'm pretty sure I need and will put it up for myself.

The panel did an INCREDIBLE job! One the panel was a college-aged girl and guy and a mother of 19 year old twins. I prepped them with the questions I planned to ask and it was great!

You can see my sweet husband standing in the back :) He was most supportive and being able to look back there at him calmed my nerves.

Lastly, what would be a girl's event on modesty and dress without little dress cookies!

To God be the Glory.
