I saw this girl I hadn’t seen in a few months and I noticed she is growing out her hair. Normally her hair is short in some kind of bright shade.
So I commented on the fact that she is growing her hair.
She said, “Yes. I go to church now, so I don’t color my hair like I used to.” I said, “Let me guess, you’re Pentecostal” and she said yes. She said she doesn’t judge others, but since the Bible says one should be modest, then she has stopped coloring her hair.
She pointed me to this verse of course:
If I compare myself to the traditional women in my parish, I definitely stick out because I dress youngish and not like I’m 20 years older.
Do I have to dress in the simplest fashions in order to be modest?
Can I not like fashion?
Are there any Saints who have dressed nicely AND still had a deep, close relationship with God, or should fashion be anathema?

So here’s the thing. Sometimes I wear my hair in fancy hairstyles. I get my mani-pedi biweekly. I wear exotic jewelry. I wear pretty shoes (affordable, but pretty).
