Church Heels High

This thread reminded me of a couple of months ago in Church. This lady came to Church (not a member) with these SUPER high heel shoes, they were made of leather and had some very odd patterns on it....hard to describe, but the best way I can put it on is, when I saw the shoes, the first thing I thought is that they look like hooker's shoes, now don't kill me for the thought, after all, how hooker's shoes look like, right? Basically, they were very high and they just look "cheap" if you know what I mean.

I see sisters in Church all the time with high heel shoes, some with leopard patterns and all.

I think it all depends on the shoe and how they look like, personally I like shoes with a little heel but not so much.

Now with regards to the other items, my PERSONAL view:

2. Not appropriate
3. Not appropriate
4. Not appropriate
5. Not appropriate
6. Not appropriate
7. Not appropriate
8. Not appropriate
9. Not appropriate
10. Not appropriate

I believe that when you go to Church, modesty and simplicity should be the way.

I like these kinda questions.

1. High heel shoes - depends on how high
2. Ankle band - what wrong with that?
3. Long or large circular ear rings - thats retro?
4. Loud hair tint like green / blue - no
5. Pronounced wig - no!
6. A skirt an inch above the knee - ummmm guilty
7. Yellow lipstick - no?
8. Black lipstick - no
9. Purple color contact lenses - they make them that color?
10. 2 inch gold bracelet - no

Church Heels High

1. High heel shoes Depends on the heighth and personal choice. I always wear flats or small heeled shoes, mostly for comfort and simplicity. There was a woman who was a stewardess and she always wore really high shoes, I guess they looked okay on her because she always dressed "professionally" but on the young woman--definitely not!

2. Ankle band--if it is simple, I don't see anything wrong with it.

3. Long or large circular ear rings Again, I wouldn't probably wear something like this but there are people that do and it looks okay. I don't try to attract attention and they seem as if they would.

4. Loud hair tint like green / blue This is a hard one. I am thinking that you are asking mostly about sisters in the ward because you asked how we felt. I think it is definitely not okay with adults. On the other hand, I think there are parents picking their battles with youth, and being at church with green hair is better than being somewhere else-not at church because of embarrassment.

5. Pronounced wig I don't think these are appropriate. If it is someone who had say Cancer and went through Chemo or something, I would hope someone loved them enough to help them pick out something that would make them feel beautiful and not a spectacle.

6. A skirt an inch above the knee This one should be a given yet I see youth and adult sisters try to get away with this one all the time. The Lord spoke through the prophet and gave us standards on this, that should be enough.

7. Yellow lipstick same as above, not appropriate with standards
8. Black lipstick same as above, not appropriate with standards
9. Purple color contact lenses same as above, not appropriate with standards
10. 2 inch gold bracelet I'm thinking not! Seems a bit much for church

WOW-I am hoping these questions were merely thought up and not prompted by someone wearing this whole outfit!-
