When She's Ready To Put Her Shoes On That's When You Get Ready





When She's Ready To Put Her Shoes On That's When You Get Ready







When She's Ready To Put Her Shoes On That's When You Get Ready



By Jennifer Calpu









There will be times in your relationship when you are going out for dinner, you are going out to the movies, or you are going out in general. It could be in the evening, on the weekend, in the days, or whenever. And guess what? Some people take longer to get ready than others (Surprise, surprise - I am sure you have noticed this. Guess who?). In most cases, she will take way longer than you will (Come on, I know you saw that coming). Now, in this case I suggest: When she's ready to put her shoes on, that's when you start to get ready. For me, I'm in and out and ready in less than 15 minutes. When she puts those shoes on there are many things she still needs to do. She needs to check herself, she still needs to debate whether she has the right outfit on, although she's already checked twice or three times or even four. So, it's a good rule of thumb, that when she's ready to put her shoes on, that's when you start to get ready. You can decide to already have had a shower at that point, depending upon how quick you think she's going to be. But otherwise, you could be sitting there watching TV or surfing on the computer, but as soon as those shoes go on you can start putting your pants on.

This is a good rule of thumb. Especially for people like me whose wife takes anywhere from an hour and a half to two - two if we are really going somewhere nice. Generally it is an hour and a half or one if it's a more spontaneous time we are going out. In general, this practice will save you from sitting there and waiting. Getting your shirt all crinkly or sweaty, or just in general waiting. Waiting is never a good idea because you will always be asking her to hurry up, or push her by phrases like "let's go. Let's go." This way you just sit back or lay back and watch TV and then just wait until her shoes go on to start putting your clothes on. It's a good situation for everyone, therefore everyone is happy.

Another fashion related tip that I want to share is this: Say yes to every suggestion that she makes when she is getting ready. Does this look good? Yes. Which looks good this one or this one? It's whatever you have on (that's the way I look at it). Because unless you want to be a fashion critic, or unless you want to always have to make that decision, then just make it easy on yourself. The first one is always the best. If it really truly looks bad then you should change your mind and instead give some advice. But I don't want to always make that decision all the time. I don't always want to be a fashion critic. I don't want to be responsible for any of her fashion related decisions. So, let her make them.

The only decision I seem to have a little input on is with her high heels. Because I know she will start complaining about walking in them after 30 minutes of leaving the house, or an hour, or however long it takes after leaving the house. So, make sure she's always got comfortable shoes with her or in the car or her purse. If you want to be out for a long day, let's say a ball game or any place that will require walking, the last thing you want to hear is your wife complaining about her feet hurting and then you have to leave early and cut the day short. This will happen if you are not careful. And even though you will ask her why she didn't think of that, the answer will always be the same, she just never thinks of it. So depending upon what your wife's habits are, it's up to you on how best to deal with them. Have fun going out and remember these tips.

Your Guide to Wearing Hats



Your Guide To Wearing Hats



Author: Joe Silla


Many women shy away from wearing hats simply because they honestly believe that they would not be able to pull off wearing one. To some women, hats call too much attention to themselves. Some women, on the other hand, just do not know how to wear a hat. It is a shame, actually, because a hat is a fashion accessory that every woman should have in her wardrobe.

Now, why is that? Why should a hat or two be part of a woman's wardrobe? One reason is that a hat is a great fashion accessory that can pull together an outfit and improve its overall look. The other reason is that a hat provides ample protection from the harmful rays of the sun, at a time when skin cancer is now a cause for fear and people are becoming aware of the dangers of exposing the skin to sunlight far too long.

In order to be able to pull off the look of an outfit with a hat, you only need to know how to wear one. The basic rule about wearing hats is that if you find the particular hat that you have got on quite comfortable and you feel confident about wearing it, then all other rules are canceled out. The most important thing about wearing hats is that you have to feel confident and comfortable with the hat you are wearing.

But if you are the type to pay attention to details, then read on.

One thing you should know about hats is that when you are shopping for a hat, you should pick a hat that matches the proportions of your face. You will be wearing your hat quite closely to your face and so the hat will draw attention to the features of your face. If your face is small, you should wear a small hat. If your face is wide, your hat should have a wide brim. A small hat on a wide face will make the face look wider; a big hat on a small face will drown the face.

The color of your hat should either complement or flatter your skin tone. If your skin is pale with rosy hues, then a pink or red or rust-colored hat would look nice on you. If your skin is dark or with yellow tones, you can wear just about any color hat but do try not to stick to just black.

If you are wearing solid colors, it would be nice to top off your outfit with a printed hat that combines together the colors you are wearing. You could also opt for a printed hat that provides a nice contrast to the colors of your outfit. Either way, your hat can make your outfit look nicer and much more interesting.

Try to avoid matching your hat's material with the material of your top or your jacket. You may end up overdoing the look. If you are wearing a leather jacket, try to go for a contrast and wear a tweed pageboy hat instead of something made also of leather. If you are wearing a tweed jacket, maybe a knitted cap would tie your outfit up and make it work.

Playing with contrasts is also a good thing to do when you are wearing a man's hat. If you want to wear a man's hat, like a fedora, you can go whimsical on it and wear pretty and really feminine earrings to soften the look. And of course, a dash of bright or warm lipstick and lengthening mascara will further feminize the look with the otherwise masculine hat.

Going for a casual look with just jeans and a plain T-shirt? You can dress up your denims by wearing a hat, maybe a pageboy or a hat with a wide brim. The overall impression would be a look that is casual, effortless and yet certainly more lively and interesting to the eyes.

You can go ahead and experiment with the kinds and styles of hats that you may want to match up with your outfit. However, here are a few things you ought to avoid when wearing a hat.

Always wear your hat in front of your head, fitting snuggly with your forehead. Only little girls wear their hats to the back of the head.

Shun retro hats and baseball caps as much as possible. Retro hats are out of style because they are out of style, if you get the drift. A baseball cap, on the other hand, will pull your style grade down a couple of notches rather than upgrade it. Unless you are going for a jog in your sweats or getting some yard cleaning or gardening done, avoid wearing baseball cap.

Lastly, do not turn to your hat to save your outfit if you think you have made a mistake in pulling clothes from your closet. If you think you are underdressed or overdressed, leave the hat off because it will only call more attention to your clothes.

Hats are great fashion accessories. You should go and get yourself a hat right away.
