I participated in the Fearlessly Feminine Challenge this past week (starting last Monday).  Brooke started the challenge on her blog.  You can read the orginal post here.  Miss Jocelyn is continuing the challenge on the last week of every month.  You can read about it by clicking on the Feelin' Feminine Challenge button.   

I decided to do the extra challenge of wearing a different hairstyle each day.  Here are my pictures:

Day 1-I wore my hair in Heidi braids.                 Day 2-Braided tiara.

 Here's a close up!  Sorry,  it's hard to see!                                Day 3-Just a regular braid.

Day 4-A bun.                                                             Yet another close up :).

Day  5-I let my hair be its natural self (like I usually do)!        Day 6-Pollyanna

Here's another close up!                                    Day 7-Two braids.

I'm supposed to evaluate my week.  Here I go!  I felt/feel more feminine in skirts/dresses.  I was able to do everything that I had to do this past week (without pants).  Also, I decided to wear dresses/skirts more often.

Just because we wear dresses/skirts, it doesn't mean we are true ladies in the Biblical sense of the word.  Just because you're a woman/girl/female, it doesn't mean you're automatically a lady.  "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3,4  "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.  Forgive as the Lord forgives you.  And over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity." Colossians 3:12-14

And that concludes my week of the fearlessly feminine challenge...or does it?  Even though I decided to wear dresses/skirts more often, after a whole week of wearing dresses/skirts, I was ready (or so I thought) to wear pants again! 

Yesterday was the last day of the challenge for me so today I was going to wear pants.  Well.....I found out that......actually......believe it or not.....I wanted....to wear a skirt!  Why?  My pants were uncomfortable!  Before, I was just used to them but after the comfort of a skirt/dress, I don't really like my pants that much anymore!  Also, they don't feel feminine!  Oh, yikes...I'm someone who almost always wore pants (except to church).  Now, I still think pants (modest (not tight!) ones) are safer and more modest to wear when playing sports, hiking, etc. but I will be wearing skirts/dresses more regularly now.  Update:  I wear skirts/dresses practically all the time now and I've found that I can wear skirts while playing sports and hiking...it just depends on the situation.   I wouldn't recommend it on steep, dangerous hikes.
