Shout Out to the Bible: Bragging/Boasting

Bragging Ain't HOT!!!


A thousand people can tell you what they think about bragging. I could tell you what I think about it, but since so many people CLAIM they don't care what nobody else say, lets just hope people care about what the bible say.

BOAST/BOASTING

-To talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.
-To glorify oneself in speech; talk in a self-admiring way

English Standard Version

Proverbs 27:1-2
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
James 4:16
As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 
Jeremiah 9:23
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches
1 Corinthians 4:7
For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it? 
Proverbs 25:14
Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of a gift he does not give. 
James 4:13-16
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 

Just helping us Sinners with a quick word

"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." James 4:17

A&F for Abercrombie & Fitch or Attractive & Fat? #FitchTheHomeless

CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries, made comments in an interview
"We hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that."
"In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids," he says. "Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong, and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla. You don't alienate anybody, but you don't excite anybody, either."
"I really don't care what anyone other than our target customer thinks."
These comments are dead WRONG! Things like this should not be said is 2013 and discrimination should not be going on in 2013. The CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch is a very closed minded person for making these comments. 


Jeffries said that A&F "market to cool and good-looking," but he refuses to sell woman clothing larger than a  size large. 


Does that mean cool and good-looking woman are only a size large and smaller?


Jeffries recently put out an apology letter apologising for his wording but I can't accept his apology because it wasn't just one wrong statement put out, it was an whole interview full of wrongful things (Other things he said)


Blogger, Jes Baker (Click there for her blog), wrote a letter to CEO Mike Jeffries, for he can consider her campaign Attractive & Fat. Which pairs unconventional models with conventional models in the advertisement industry. 

She is creating a nice movement and I think it would be nice if he partner up with her if he really didn't mean what he said but this is not waiting on him to do so. 


We are not what we wear, we are whats in our hears, our minds, and our souls!!! But since Mr. CEO think we are, I want to show him that clothing and a name brands does not make you any better than the next person.


I am joining The #FitchTheHomeless Campaign. Where I collect clothes from my closet, my friends closet, and my relatives closet to donate to the homeless. With the goal to get Abercrombie & Fitch The Worlds #1 Brand of Homeless Apparel. 

So if you are in the Chicago area or surround Suburbs I am collecting Abercrombie & Fitch clothing for the homeless!

A Nice Flow


Aalliah Robinson 

Why I like this look?
Because no two colors she has on are the same exact color but yet they all flow together very well!
The small details made this look come together more also.
-The dark grey buttons and dots on the cardigan with the dark grey boots and bag
-The white patterned tights/stockings with the accessories and white in the skirt.
