HELLO, My Little Yalie Powder Pigeons!

PeaceBang would like to give a big Crimson shout-out to all her Yale Divinity School readers!
“HEY, YALIES!”

It has come to my attention that some of you divines from New Haven are a wee bit anxious about what to wear on interviews. This overall discussion of ministerial fashion faux pas from my archives may be an initial resorce:

And I will look for other archives on the topic, because I believe we may have discussed this at some point. Readers? Any memories of it?

[Interview coming up? Consider an interesting, hip top like this with a tailored outfit: http://tinyurl.com/rv3g2 ]

Your Clothes Tell A Story About Your Ministry

I have a colleague who has a wonderful look.

She tends toward overly-long skirts that engulf her slim frame, nubby textured tops, and beautiful paisley shawls. None of these are particularly “in” right now, but she seems very fashionable nonetheless.

She is slim and pale and has long, fiery red hair. She wears not a stitch of make-up. She is soft-spoken and has a gorgeous singing voice.

What I love about her look is that it is an expression of something deep and real about her. Her clothing tells me a story about her ministry. The story is tells me is of a person who has a romantic embrace of the world, who wants to flow with things, who treasures warmth and richness and pattern, and who isn’t smooth-edged but multi-textured. She wears solid clogs, and boots. But they always gleam and she moves gracefully in them. She is not ornamented with much jewelry (not even a wedding ring, if I recall correctly), and she is rich in her simplicity.

This is a spiritual leader who has either intuitively or intentionally learned how to express essential aspects of her inner life by her exterior appearance. Her look is beautiful, consistent, extremely attractive, flattering to her, and communicates a knowledge of self that is very confidence-inspiring.

What story are your clothes telling about your ministry?

The DVF Woman

La Diane
Originally uploaded by Peacebang.

PeaceBang ADORES Diane von Furstenburg. She adores her looks, she adores her glamour, her style, her life story, her unapologetically voracious sexuality, her moxie.

Imagine PeaceBang’s absolute delight when she discovered the latest issue of The New Yorker on the newstands featuring an article about DVF. It’s truly wonderful and chock full of spiritually meaningful insights, and I’m truly not joking about that.

Plus, in addition to the spiritual insights, you get DVF arguing with FAB shoe designer Christian Louboutin about the evils of the wedge heel. Apparently DVF considers them an outrage against the female leg, so I’m sure she would express complete horror over my little hoof-like Steve Madden knock-offs. DVF, you complete me.

(Here are some Louboutins for you to drool over)

Smells Like Sexy Heaven

If PeaceBang was walking through a church and smelled a man wearing Dolce & Gabbana Eau de Toilette Pour Homme, she would jump on that man like a chimp jumps on a banana.
She would not be able to HELP IT.

PeaceBang recommends:
Dolce & Gabbana Eau De Toilette For Men
