SO...YESTERDAY I TOOK A BREAK

Yesterday at work I found myself bored, with plenty to do. So I took a break from my tasks and decided to sit in the lobby with the receptionist. She and I usually like to have round table discussions on different topics, but mainly guys and relationships. Now during our conversation my coworker (a guy) came into the lobby and was inquiring about what we were giggling about. I told him we we talking about how guys are picky about females appearances. We told him that some guys could be very particular about the way a female wears their hair, how much make up they wear, and most importantly the way they dress. Now me personally, I love to hear what a man has to say about women and relationships. It gives me a glimpse into the crazy world in which they operate. He started by saying that he had no problem if a "chick" wears hair extensions or not, as long as her hair is nicely kept. Which is a general statement for most men, but what caught my attention is when he continued on by saying how he couldn't stand for a girl that was "too trendy". He shared a story about a past girlfriend that he said, "over dressed on every occasion", and it drove him crazy so he eventually stopped taking her places. He ranted, "I remember one time we were gonna go see a football game and she came dressed in a short mini skirt, a tight shirt, boots, and way too many accessories."

He argued that none of that was really needed to go watch football. He also said that he was into the trends, but that when you overdue it, the outcome could be a catastrophe. I completely agree with my coworker. Being trendy takes a lot of skill and it should be noted to everyone that just because you go into a Gucci store and by out the whole boutique, you can still come out looking like a nightmare! There are ways to incorporate your way of fashion into the trends, without looking like a walking mannequin from a department store. You want to be able to dress appropriately for every different occasion, while still maintaining the trend. For example, if I were going to a basketball/football game with a guy there's nothing wrong with putting on a nice pair of Seven jeans, a crisp white v-neck t-shirt (American Apparel), and some comfortable flat boots (depending on the weather).
Now with this outfit, you've achieved a nice comfortable look that still makes you look sexy, because if you've chosen the correct Seven jeans, they are sure to hug your curves just right; and that v-neck t-shirt will draw attention to the chest area without trying so hard to do so. So ladies, when you are going out on dates, or out with your boyfriend, fit the trend... but make sure the trend doesn't out do you! The guys are watching!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
