Clothing and Home #4 and Video

 

Greetings and welcome to The Manse.

At the end of the post is the video I made for you, and

below is a picture of the skirt and blouse I wore at home: Lace or white always looks good with plaid. 

Skirt by Time &Tru from the Walmart, made of rayon.  The skirt had a very long walking opening that needed to be stitch up. Since it is a peasant style ease of movement, I sewed the side cut together. 

Rolls of fabrics for nature dressing or mood dressing. 

My tea today is hibiscus from Republic of Tea, sent by one of my readers. 

Scripture I quoted about being durable:

Romans 15:4

The verses of comparison between

Discouragement and Comfort

2 Corinthians 5:7-12

I read two poems of Edgar A. Guest:

Loser and Victor

My Life

Young royals wearing cottage core:

I compared the poetry and the paintings in this book and showed how the art and the poetry were aligned with loveliness

To summarize the video on clothing:

*Clothing can set your mood at home and gives you personal dignity.

*Cameras are everywhere these days. Remember that before you go out in grunge clothing.

*Clothing standards can reflect the foundational standards of your life.

*Dressing well shows respect for others, even in the home. I'm always appreciative when my descendants visit and are well dressed, even when casual.

*Modesty should also be beauty.  One should not contradict or compromise the other.

*You can wear lovely clothes that are in good taste, modest and pretty, but you must also have other refined attributes, particularly the things you talk about.

*Dressing well sets a standard in the community that is a good influence. 

*To improve the way you dress and speak and learn refinement, do a search on the web and on YouTube for high value manners, and any other self improvement subject. Immersing yourself in some of these will help you pick up a few very good hints that will help.

I have always planned to sew this outfit and make the fascinating. The gloves are pretty.
