Meet Erin!

Please welcome Erin to the Mod Style Lounge staff! She will be taking over for Rachel. She is a beautiful 15-year-old with a huge passion for modesty and realizes that beauty really does come from within.

We asked her a few questions:

What are your views on modesty?

I believe that as women, modesty is something we should strive for every day- Modesty here not only referring to our clothing and outward appearance, but also to our mindset, learning to develop pure thoughts and motives. I feel, and am strongly convicted, that how we present ourselves should never cause a brother in Christ to stumble. This is why I make sure what I wear covers me up (and then some!), and leaves a good amount of mystery to my body. I think as Christian girls we should find balance in our dress. We can find ways to dress modestly while still being trendy and expressing our own sense of style.

What are your views on beauty?

We are all fearfully and wonderfully made, and I think it is important for girls to come to a point where they feel beautiful as daughters of Christ. When we learn to accept ourselves and find our value in the Lord, we will realize that the world’s definition of ‘beautiful’ is unrealistic and superficial. Again, there is a balance here. There is nothing wrong with fixing ourselves up and wanting to look good, but outward beauty shouldn’t be something we become overly concerned or obsessed over.  We should focus on developing our inner beauty and growing in our walk with God. The Bible sums it up when it says that beauty shouldn’t come from outward adornments…but from our inner self. (1 Peter 3: 3-4)

What are your views on femininity?

I believe that as young ladies, we should embrace our roles and characteristics as women. God created men and women differently, and we should accept that while remembering that no trait or responsibility is more or less important. In the way we present ourselves I think we should maintain a sense of femininity and dignity. This doesn’t mean that we can’t dress casually and wear sporty clothes, but we should keep a ‘lady-like’ manner in the way we act and dress.
