I’m 76 years old. What a strange dilemma for women to be in. When I was a teenager, it was weird not wearing dresses and skirts. Wearing short , jeans , pedal pushers was the weird thing and frowned on highly. We have been duped out of our natural graceful femininity. Take it back girls, the privilege is yours to enjoy.

@flowerpower3618 Месяц назад

What do you wear at 75? I’m 65 and feel silly when I wear dresses even though I lived in them as a young mom in the 90’s.

@wtillett243 Месяц назад

@@flowerpower3618 I wear dresses to church and pants and long shirts at home or shopping. I would love to wear dresses more often, but finding styles and fabrics are a challenge. I no longer enjoy shopping and my days are spent taking care of yard and home . So comfort and ease has been the main thing. I do regret that we adopted pants and pretty much quit the feminine side of clothing for the most part. When I see the difference between pictures of females in the 50’s and 60’s compared to now, it is appalling the dignity and beauty we threw out the window for convenience. God forgive us.

Winter dress tips: -You can wear any dress in the winter with the right layers! -Wear leggings or tights and tank tops under dresses as a base layer. -Tall boots add warmth and style. -Layer with sweaters and shirts over dresses to add variety to your wardrobe, without having to buy a bunch of "winter dresses". -Accessorize with hats and scarves to change up your look and stay warm. -Bonus tip: pockets in everything!

@tinabennett8524 7 дней назад

I like having silk/wool long underwear for my base layer, they are expensive, but wear for years, as I have sensitivity to spandex. Also I own two or three dresses that are thermal or knits, that I wear in the snow underneath of my dresses and skirts. Definitely layers 😊

@user56gghtf 2 дня назад

😊 I'm actually one of those people that doesn't like pockets on dresses. It may be just where the dress hits me but it's mostly not flattering on my shape.

I love dresses now. I also find jeans very uncomfortable and restrictive and in summer sweaty 🥵 I have been making my own drawstring elastic skirts and I feel so feminine and comfortable in them. It also makes me feel like myself. I was always “shunned” for my love of fashion and dresses and got “why are you wearing that” often growing up. Now my husband loves my dresses and style and I feel free to be me. Now that I’m pregnant I don’t WANT anything tight or uncomfortable. ❤ I love your videos and find them so encouraging

I generally wear a skirt & shirt or a dress. But I do still wear some jeans or capris now and then. My husband and I have always lived states away from our family. About eight years ago, some family came to visit(from 2000 miles away). I just happened to wear a skirt one day, and my sister said "you don't have to dress up for us." I replied that that is just what I wear and that I dress for my husband, he likes me looking like a female. :)

@homewithkelli 28 дней назад

Yes, I relate to this story so much! Even if people don't say it, sometimes I can feel they are thinking... maybe not- maybe it's just in my head, but it is funny how wearing a skirt or dress all of a sudden your being "too dress up"

THAT color looks fabulous! I don't care whether it is in your 'color palette'. It makes your eyes pop & bring out a soft rosiness to your skin & lips. Plus, it makes your teeth look really bright/white.

I've been wearing mainly skirts & dresses last couple months. Now if I put jeans on to do work on our house ( remodeling) I feel uncomfortable & restricted. I have gone through seasons too, several years ago I work mainly skirts & dresses & people thought I was being legalistic which wasn't my reason back then. Now it just makes me feel elegant, pretty, put together & my husband loves them on me too. The style I wear now compared to 6 years ago is different now too. I love fit flare flowy dresses & flowy skirts with tops. Just really works for me & I have to say I love going outside on the grass & twirling in them😄.

I always wanted to wear dresses when I was a teenager, but I was always shy and felt like they’d draw attention. It’s fun to be an adult and wear them to church and around the house when I see fit!

I love dresses, but certainly love skirts too! I thrift almost all of my clothes and I love how many beautiful pieces I have already gathered without it costing a ton. Sometimes I find amazing high quality pieces for very little money. I always wear a biker short underneath my dresses and skirts too. I live in the Netherlands and bike almost everywhere and the biker short helps me stay modest.

@saramoulson7808 Месяц назад

Kelli, thanks for this encouragement to wear dresses more. I'm exactly the same as you. I grew up playing sports and dressing the part. I found my identity in how I looked. God has slowly been showing me how I can dress in a way that honors Him more and that I don't need to worry about what others think of me, only what He thinks. God bless you Kelli!❤

Garden House. that is what we term it. I came in at 9pm from the garden/barn the other night & I wanted to CRY. My house was TRASHED. We jumped up from dinner & headed right outside - no washing dishes or putting food away, English muffins needing to be made, & somehow a chipmunk ended up being dragged in by our cat, so out came the fridge & then that needed to be cleaned under. hubby wanted to go to bed & oops....sheets that had been on the line, never got put on the bed😂. I told him, well we can each take a couch & he laughed & said no, he'd just curl up in the laundry. that got me moving! Who wants to have their husband sleep in the clean folded laundry?!? Because I usually am on top of everything, my husband cuts me slack during this time of year. And the same is true for me about him. It is called love & understanding. LOL

@AubreymGrace Месяц назад

I felt uncomfortable in dresses/skirts at first too! I felt like such a fraud! 😂 But now I feel weird in pants! Though I do wear them on the rare occasion. I appreciated this update from you! I love this topic because I went through a hard transition into wearing feminine clothing due to guilt. Once I realized the sin in my heart regarding to dressing for the world, I over corrected and became legalistic about it, which was also sinful. It had been almost two years since The Lord opened my eyes to modest (or my lack thereof) and He has brought me to beautiful and freeing place of loving my femine beauty because it glorifies Him. ❤

It sounds crazy, but it’s true! Years ago I was searching for hiking pants that weren’t synthetic and that fit well. In my research I discovered that many women prefer hiking in skirts or dresses. They made the same claim as you. So I found some wool pants and converted them into a skirt. They were right! Now I have a thin wool skirt for summer hiking and a thicker one for winter 😊

@denisekeller249 Месяц назад

Leather sandals match with everything! I bought a pair of used Keen sandals, and I've had them for 5 years now and they are finally starting to look worn. They were my staple summer shoe. I also wear a lot of blue, so I was excited to find a pair of blue Finn Comfort sandals. Those and an occasional strappy black sandal are all I need for the summer. I laughed about the wool skirt comment, my husband calls it my librarian outfit. I personally feel beautiful in one. 😊

I absolutely feel more feminine when I wear dresses. Great explanation; it's a tool to help you be more the way God made you. Pro tip for colder climates, I buy only summer dresses and when winter hits, I use leggings and undershirts, usually just tank tops from Pact. Cardigans or even sweaters pulled over top. I also rock the shorts under dresses in summer. Protection agaisnt chasing children or a sudden gust of wind 😅😁

I grew up wearing trousers and t-shirts. I stopped wearing them when my priest told me to throw them all away in the confessional. I had to buy myself an entirely new wardrobe and it was an adjustment because I didn't move to a different place. I had people stare at me. I had people make rude comments about it or ask me if I am Amish. It was a somewhat difficult adjustment, but I have been wearing them almost exclusively for the past 19 plus years. It's comfortable for me now. I can't imagine myself wearing anything else. For me, wearing dresses/skirts or split skirts are a religious modesty necessity . Pope Pius XI set the standards of Christian modesty for all Catholics in 1928 and I need to follow them. I am happy to do so. I wouldn't go back to trousers even if I had the option to do so.

He always wears black pants (jeans, tech material, or slacks). He only buys the colors that look good on him, which means he only has around 5 colors in his wardrobe... so, everything ends up matching overall. He looks very nice, and at the same time, is very comfortable. Hope this helps!
