After posting my comment I was afraid I may have offended you - those items are not concerning in themselves, only when they become a part of a mandated lifestyle which is what I believe the Maxwells promote. I drifted in the direction of "dresses only" for a while until I realized that I was trying to patch a veneer onto my character - I wasn't convicted about it, plus, dh didn't care for it. I have now found a happy medium between modest dressing and wearing jeans, if that makes any sense and am much more comfortable in my skin.
