Hypocrisy and disrespect will not be tolerated much longer.
In that day the Lord will take away the finery of the anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,The rings, and nose jewels,The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.(Isaiah 3:18-24)
When is "that day" which Inspiration is thus describing? Let's read next chapter 4.
"And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. (Isaiah 4:1-2)
Adding these words up, we see that it points to a purification. Those who now carelessly adorn themselves, will pay a price "instead of sweet smell there shall be stink".."burning instead of beauty". When? In the day that ALL (seven) churches(women) practice such terrible and foolish disrespect while calling God their Father (only let us be called by thy name). This includes the SDA.
However during this time, soon we will see some will "escape" the purification judgment and live! They shall be "beautiful and glorious" unto the Lord.

This is just "twisted" Just sayin' Ya lets judge all that wear a chain or pierce or tat. This is just a blatt of banging gongs and rah rah pumping of "purist" Ideals. People are the REAL and many many have greater love within them than Many many others that "look pure"

Adorning ourselves is very easy unfortunately. So, I believe we need to be very careful.
Yet, I don't think dressing in a presentable manner is wrong. I don't believe we all have to live and dress dirty with torn clothes all the time. We should be clean and decent in our dress.
When is it too much? I believe jewelry and costly apparel is too much. There just isn't any need for it.

We are to dress in a manner that does not draw attention to self.
Modest, decent, practical clothes of good quality and cleanliness, that are in tune with our culture but not following the fads and fashions that are clearly not "modest, decent, practical or of serviceable quality" and are meant only to draw attention to some aspect of self.
We are to dress in a manner that does not draw attention to self. We are to exhibit the fruits of the Holy Spirit and this will give a lasting beauty to both men and women that draws people into true Christian fellowship.
