Taken to an unrealistic extreme, you can really miss the mark in your external adornment. I have seen some women who think that it is a mark of spirituality to look like an unmade bed. That is not what God has in mind. On the other hand, if externals get overemphasized, appearance, cosmetics, and clothing take on too much significance. You can become preoccupied with your external adornment, and you can begin judging yourself and others solely by appearance, which is often what our culture does.
External beauty is temporary and shallow.
Internal beauty is eternal. Without question, this is any woman's most powerful quality-true character. Outward adornment doesn't take a great deal of time. It may take only a few hours to prepare yourself for the most elegant of evenings, but it takes a lifetime to prepare and develop the hidden person of the heart . Adornment is important but not nearly as important as attitude.
