I can see May 1st on the 10 day forecast now…the day I can finally go back to wearing pants! Or….will I?

When I start any project, like this month of living Biblically, I almost always go into the project prepared to do a little research. For this month, I obviously needed to use the Bible as my number one tool, but after that, there were several books I referenced for ideas. One of my biggest questions was why some women choose to wear skirts and dresses exclusively, and why some don’t. My family and friends are all in the ‘don’t’ category. Many of the women who do point to Deut. 22:5 as their reference point, which tells us that men should not wear women’s clothing, and women should not wear men’s clothing. This being said, some argue that pants belong to men and skirts belong to women. Even more important to some women is the modesty fact, which also cannot be fulfilled while wearing pants, and must be fulfilled by wearing skirts that cover at least the knee. Some women also claim that men tend to look at parts of the body rather than the face when wearing pants.

So, does this mean that I will be wearing skirts exclusively from now on, or will I go back to wearing pants? I must admit, I do miss my pants, and I believe there are some things that are much more modest in pants anyway. That being said, I’ve always enjoyed wearing skirts too, so don’t be surprised if you see me in skirts more often…
