Actually, I saw the clarification in the next post. It is still confusing because you say there was a priest there which implies a Catholic wedding.

The clothes do not make the man/woman.🙂

You can dress like a derelict and be the most devout person while a person that dresses to the nines can be a so-so in their faith.

I have seen instances of both of these…

Their is nothing saying that a person dressed to the nines is not as devout or vice versa your clothes are not a reflection on how devout a person is, IMHO

Thus is the reason this was said in a few previous posts.

I don’t think it was a priest, or rather, it shouldn’t have been. This would be against Church teachings in soooooooooooo many ways. Weddings in a Catholic church are always a religious ceremony and Masses are too…

Once again I did state that it was not a religious wedding, it took place outdoors🙂 (look back at the post)

So, once again, it seems that most are missing the point that denim isn’t the problem, it’s about people not dressing their best for Our Lord. …

Once again, you said priest, which I’m guessing now, it wasn’t.

Yes, and again, this has been covered. I think if you’ll re-read the thread you’ll find that there was no condemnation of denim. Just about all of us who have said that we are for dressing your best at Mass when possible have said they have actually worn jeans to Mass before and that there are some people who’s best clothes are jeans. This is not about jeans, it’s about dressing your best before Our Lord, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.

It seems that I our posts are crossing…sorry about that!

😃 Exactly…

And that is based on what you can afford. Now I can buy a pair of Haggar dress slacks for 30.00. Some pay way much more for jeans. So it goes back to ones intent.

That’s OK. It often happens when we’re all on at the same time. I always read from my second to last post forward so I don’t miss any of the cross overs.

Nah about $20-30 is about what I pay for my jeans…🙂
 
As far as cost, blue jeans run about the same as other types of pants. Some are pretty pricey actually. Really, most people in America can afford a pair of slacks in a style other than Blue Jeans.

But, I’m not sure if God is style concious. I wonder if God disapproves of the societal trend towards informality? Sometimes dressing more simply is a sign of humility. It’s all so subjective.

If people are hard pressed for clothing, might I suggest secondhand shops? I shop a lot at St Vinnies and Goodwill. There are plenty of choices available, including dresses, slacks, kakies, and jeans.
 
I always go to Mass on Saturday evening. Unless it is a special time such as Christmass or Easter I always wear jeans.

Can you afford dressier clothes?

as to day to day clothes I choose to buy things that can be worn any day of the week, not just buying something that is going to be worn one day of the week…that is a waste of money to me 😃
My jeans are nice tailored ones that are always worn with a nice blouse or sweater and penny loafers (pennies included).

So, basically, you never dress up for anything else because you have no dressier clothes? If so, then it sounds like you are wearing your best.

Am I getting this right? Clothes for Mass would be a waste of money?

For me spending money on “special clothes” is a waste of money…especially if I can only wear them on one day of the week.
We are a “frugal” family!
