Hey everyone!

we're talking about c o l o u r s today, so here we go:

Step 1: Learning which colours "go".
we're going to talk about how to layer your old tops so that your old outfits look brand new! Here are some ideas for layering tanktops under t-shirts which you may not have thought of:

(a) Opposites! layer purple with a bright sunshine yellow! work with blue and red! Opposite colours add a whole new look to a t-shirt.

(b) Neutrals over bright colours. try a grey t-shirt over a bright pink tanktop, or try a black tanktop over a purple one! It's hard to go wrong with neutrals, so most shirts go with these.

(c) Different shades of the same colour with each other. try two different shades of blue, or two different pinks and stick them together. just make sure they aren't too close, or else it will just look sloppy.

Step 2: Layering
When you find out which of your shirts "go," you can try to layer them in all different ways. Here are some quick ones:

(a) try a tanktop over a t-shirt. Add a cute checkered scarf and you're all good to go!

(b) try two tanktops over each other. be careful about bra straps showing, though. You may want to buy a criss-crossed strap bra for tanktops. modesty is important. Don't ever underestimate it.

(c) try a t-shirt over a tanktop. this is a great way to make a v-neck shirt perfectly modest! Or you can stick a bright pink tank-top under that favourite grey t-shirt to add a touch of colour.

And there you have it! Just remember that clothes, while it's fun to try and look pretty, are really supposed to be used to honour God. Remember to stay modest, while still dressing God's Temple (your body) as you think you should dress it.

We are God's temple. that means we're supposed to take care of our bodies, and not use them like some sort of garbage can just to throw all that trash we're watching on TV or listening to in our songs into. How many garbage cans are going to win hearts for God? It's important to look nice, I believe, since we're supposed to be representing our saviour, but it's not important to look hot, if you know what I mean.

Next time you think you're ugly, or that you don't like your body, remember: when you insult yourself, you're insulting God's temple--His creation which he loves.
