[QUOTE="Andy, post: 177267, member: 5096"] I think we need to trade churches. I get those looks because I do not dress up. I use to enjoy dressing up until I became a mommy. Now I go for comfort. Sometimes will wear dresses, sometimes shorts. When I did enjoy dressing up, I did makeup for only a few years and a tad bit of jewelry. I remember having fun with the coordinating of everything. I also understand about wanting to stay with which ever denomination you are with. I had a friend who encouraged me to change churches but I told her that I went to church for my belief not to find a social group. Is there another congregation with the beliefs you are looking for? I also figured out that people do not know how to introduce themselves. They are curios but everyone expects everyone else to make the first step in an introduction. They are probably just very curious about who you are. If you would like to stay with this church, try meeting people by attending a bible study, attending any church get together, offering to help in Sunday School (if there is a VBS this summer, offer to help with that), offering to help in the kitchen or setting tables for a church event. I know anyone who came to me and said they wanted to help with Sunday School or VBS would be my forever best friend. There is nothing wrong with wanting to dress up. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to dress up. We just have to feel good and you are right, dressing up does make you feel better (though that isn't going to make me dress up unless I want to Know what I mean??). I have always worked on looking past how people dress. I am secure enough to dress in casual shorts, walk into a business meeting and make everyone look past what I am wearing and listen to what I say. (and I am not a good looking person who can easily pull that off - just years of practice.) [/QUOTE]
