Alma 1:6 And he began to be lifted up in the pride of his heart, and to wear very costly apparel, yea, and even began to establish a church after the manner of his preaching.
*In the BOM, apostasy is often identified with the wearing of costly apparel. My thoughts are that the first thing we want people to think about us is : "Gosh, they look so good! Look how successful they are!" A testimony, a temple recommend or a winning FHE aren't visible from afar.
27 And they did impart of their substance, every man according to that which he had, to the poor, and the needy, and the sick, and the afflicted; and they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely.
*But, we can still show our success in our appearance without being vain.
