Ever wonder what Adam & Eve wore while toiling around in the Garden of Eden?
You guessed it--fig leaves. At least after that infamous encounter with the sneaky serpent, that is. Before that they went au-natural. And then you might say their fashion-savvy eyes were opened to more nature-inspired creations.
I'm not sure exactly how they wore these things, but I can imagine that Eve, being a woman, somehow managed to assemble them into a stylish outfit or two. Probably even dangled a couple of ripe figs from her earlobes to jazz things up on a Saturday night. She did have a thing for fruit, after all (wink, wink).
But that's just me and my overactive imagination. I doubt if Adam really cared what Eve was wearing, but us women just naturally (pun intended) like to look good. Even if our resources are somewhat limited. At least she eventually got some variety when they got wrapped in animal skins...
I'm glad I have a few more options to choose from than the first lady (and by "first lady" I mean the very first lady), especially since it's Sunday morning and I'm facing that weekly dilemma: What am I going to wear to church?
Maybe today instead of heading to my closet, I'll head out to the greenhouse and pick a few leaves off my fig tree...
Nah, I'm running late as it is. Maybe next week...
But I do think all this nature talk has inspired me a bit, so in honor of our common ancestor and her creative fashion sense, I think I'll wear my leaf-patterned wrap dress.
Dilemma solved! I'm so glad we had this discussion.
Now all I have to figure out is what to do with my hair...and I need to pick out a pair of shoes. Oh boy, I gotta go--time's-a-wastin' and that church bell's about to ring...
