Proverbs 23:4

Proverbs chapter 23 verse 4 states, "Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint." This verse apply especially for women and myself too. We tend to spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetics, costume jewellery, make-up, clothes and shoes to look pretty. This verse is a poignant reminder not to overdress to attract so much attention or wear yourself out to look rich.

As long as we are decently dressed without all the loud colors to look rich, then it should be fine. Our dressing reflects our personality. On the other hand, don't dress too dowdy with black, grey and other insipid colors that look boring and dull. Strike a balance in our dressing and it is better not to put too much chunky costume jewellery that attracts the wrong attention. From experience, when I dress decently and not too gaudy, there is less problem from the strangers or people that I deal with. At least try to blend in with the crowd. That's the best advise I can give to any woman so that she doesn't splurge all her savings just to look good and rich but with shallow wallets or empty pockets.
