so my soul pants for you, O God."
--Psalm 42:1
[Listen to this as you read]
If this psalm was any inspiration to me during my high school years, then I sorely misinterpreted it. My idea of a great outfit consisted of "nature"-inspired pants--neon blue snakeskin print, fake leather floral, spray painted alligator pattern, etc.--with a splashy colored top. I understand that "deer pants" isn't really a thing (haha), but it certainly could be an inspiration. I just have a feeling there's a more...shall we say modest... way to go about it!
A girl friend of mine asked me recently what I thought of loud patterns. I like color, and I like patterns, but your voice should speak more loudly than your clothes! As the adage goes, wear the clothes; don't let the clothes wear you. As I think back to high school, I remember telling someone the reason I wore such bright, funky outfits was that they could speak for me. Basically, I was trying to make a statement with my clothes when I felt I couldn't make one with my words. I'm still a quiet person, but I'm able now to show my personality through my actions and speech, not through what I wear.
Oh, deer! (Pants!) You should have heard the noise these things made when I unfolded them.
My apparent former inspiration
Let's modify this a little bit: new inspiration
My soul pants... done right!
Jacket, Target; pants, Goody's; shoes, Payless; watch, Target
