Fashion 101

Today, while talking to a friend, we got onto the subject of "women and fashion" as he called it. Haha! It makes me laugh. But, by the end of our discussion I think I set him straight on some things. Such as...
- Why women need much more shoes than men. Men can get by on three pairs of shoes: tennis shoes, black dress shoes, and casual shoes. Women on the other hand cannot. They need flip flops to match every outfit. Sandals. A couple pairs of tennis shoes...one pair to workout in and another pair to get dirty. Heels...however many your heart desires and so on. Women can never have enough shoes.

- Matching. One of our roles as females in the world is to help men match their clothing. I am amazed at some of the things men put together. A free tip: just because it's a stripe doesn't mean it goes together. There are differences; horizontal, vertical, and slanted stripes...enough to make one looking at you dizzy. And you may wonder when you wear your favorite striped or polka dot tie with a striped shirt that none of the ladies notice you. Oh, we notice you all right...we just can't look at you without getting a headache!

- The meaning of fat clothes. You know, the shirts that have the empire waists, that flow away from the body...otherwise known as pregnant or poofy shirts? Yep, we wear them when we go out to dinner. Hey, they're fashionable and they hide EVERYTHING.

- Why we are VERY particular about our hairdressers. A good man may be hard to find, but finding the right hairdresser is next to impossible. They know the way we like our hair and we feel confident handing our head over to her scissors. I have been going to the same hairdresser my whole life...no one else has cut my hair.

- When a girl tries to help you out in the fashion department, don't get offended or try to defend yourself. Just accept the fact that you may need some help, take her advice, and you will be better off. She'll only help you out if she thinks you have potential, so take it as a compliment. She knows you have the potential to look good, she's just helping you out so that you can be the best you can be.
