Foolish fashion

"Suppose that a female angel were to come into your house and you had the privilege of seeing her. How would she be dresses? She would be neat and nice, her countenance full of glory, beautiful and bright, And perfectly beautiful, and in every act her gracefulness would charm every beholder. There is nothing needless about her. None of my sisters believe that these useless, foolish fashions are followed in heaven. Well then, pattern your lives after good and heavenly things." Brigham Young

Setting my own style the past few years, I don't necessarily think I look angelic. However, I have tried to keep the guidelines of neat, nice, simple, and graceful in mind. I can't imagine an angel wearing jeans or Capri pants no matter how hard I try.

I had all sorts of plans for a new wardrobe, when we got word about my MILs turn. Instead of studying, writing, and creating, I take my turn sitting with her. Although this is a choice experience, it is fatiguing. My simple old standbys have kept me neat and comfortable in this work.

How I wish I had not procrastinated the making of my black summer suit. Washed and pressed, my black linen sits in my sewing cabinet. It will do me no good on the day it would have served me well.instead, I will gomtomthe mall and pay an absorbinant price for inferior quality and foolish fashion.
