Can the two go together? In my opinion? Absolutely but not in the way our society portrays it. DH and I frequently have a discussion about this, especially those times when he tells me how sexy I am but I think I’m looking a hot mess. So, I ask him “what does sexy mean to you?” His answer: It’s the woman’s overall way of carrying herself – her confidence, her body language, a slight “strut” in her walk (like a stallion) – shoulders back, head held high – her attitude, her mannerisms. So, if this is true, a woman can be “sexy” in anything from an evening gown to a sweatsuit.
I suspect much of this comes from knowing who you are and WHOSE you are. I shudder to think of all the many times I went prancing into the club with my short, tight dresses. Back then it was my opinion that it was pointless to wear a dress that didn’t come close to cutting off my circulation! I thought the more I showed and the more gawks I got from men, the sexier I was. I think all I really did was show off was my insecurity and need for attention. It wasn’t until I really learned to love myself that the light bulb went on.
So now that I have two daughters and I’ve really tried to teach them that being sexy does not mean having their boobs oozing over their shirts or their behinds hanging out of a pair of shorts. It is my hope that it doesn’t take them the majority of their lives to realize they are beautiful not because of what they reveal on the outside, but because of who God has made them on the inside.
Saved and sexy? What do you ladies think?
