You MUST have some kind of life outside of ministry (crisis events notwithstanding of course) - and if that means jazzing up the wardrobe for a night out, so be it. As long as it is true to who you are *without* the collar (and if there is no YOU without the collar, that's a huge red flag), then go for it. <br /><br />I thought Emily ended up with a lovely selection of appropriate and suitable clothes for a young woman.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407981987874669303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11496473.post-66506671406156021482010-02-09T10:40:32.868-06:002010-02-09T10:40:32.868-06:00LOL no pun intended by "where I fit."

I h...I can't believe I forgot to watch this! <br /><br />I have just started thinking about the clothing issues in a fairly serious way. Six years in an orthodox Jewish school + 3 in seminary + my no longer svelte figure have done NOTHING for my self-presentation. <br /><br />I don't know any Presby women ministers who wear collars, but I have certainly seen everything on the wardrobe spectrum, from the impossibly dowdy to total Ann Taylor chic. I am completely unclear about where I fit (well, I'm hoping against the impossibly dowdy) for work that could take me into all kinds of different scenarios during the course of a day and always with God in mind.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11496473.post-9377439629475037142010-02-09T10:03:54.981-06:002010-02-09T10:03:54.981-06:00I thought they did fairly well.

That makes it really tough.<br />I actually like her hair color as it was before and not so after.<br />Suits and jackets and trousers/skirts are her best bet for a professional wardrobe. <br />I agree, they should've mentioned her tithe.<br />I give Emily a lot of credit for her poise and being in the spotlight!stinunksuknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11496473.post-57693165410114561032010-02-09T09:43:39.977-06:002010-02-09T09:43:39.977-06:00I thought they did a great job, all in all, althou...I thought they did a great job, all in all, although the references to "divine" and such got a little tired by the end of it. She is such a lovely young woman, and they worked within her comfort zone and what was appropriate professionally. I wish they had mentioned that she had tithed the money they gave her for the clothing. All in all, though, a great program...all my clergygal pals are talking about themselves, with their tongues planted only a little it in their cheeks, as marketing tools for the church!mibi52/ The Rev.
