There are a few things I like more than clothes and shoes. At the top of my list of additional likes are men. In all occasions with men, I try to make sure they know I like nice clothes and shoes (this way they can never go wrong with gifts- they know what I like from the jump- lol). Now, there are 3 very specific instances I make sure I look spiffy with anything involving the opposite sex. Below are my scenarios and the looks for each. Boots are my favorite shoe style, so each scenario involves boots. Let me know what you think-
Scenario 1
"Oh sh*t, he's fine and coming my way!"- 1st Meeting
Imagine you're having dinner and drinks with your girls at a really cute, new spot. You step away from the table and head to the restroom. As you get up from the table, you spot a dangerously fine man heading in your direction, smiling hard as hell at you. He's smiling really hard because you look amazing!
Sequinned anything is in right now. I love sequinnes! This dress is like many of the designer ones all over but this one is fab-slash-carnote friendly- Urban Outfitters, $78.00.
I love color and its always nice to wear a vibrant color on your feet when you wear black clothes. Shave your legs and slather on the cocoa butter! Steve Madden, Cosetta $129.95
Scenario 2
"This isn't working for me anymore, maybe we should just be friends."- The Breakup
It wasn't your fault things didn't work. He's a cool guy but being in a relationship with him isn't a good idea right now. The last thing he should rememeber about you is how great you looked when you broke it off. Maybe how great you look coupled with your speech will make him get his act together- lol.
Since the last thing he'll see are your feet as you walk away, you have to wear these...
Of course they're by Steve Madden. This color makes me think of a leather trench coat from the 70's. You can work these again with a dress or a skirt on a date with the new beau- lol. A great buy for $103.96
Great fitting jeans always make guys nuts, especially ones you're leaving in the dust. These are the Skyline Drive skinny jeans from Paige Premium Denim. They retail for $179.00 but you got them from the sample sale (12/22 at Siren Studios in L.A. :)
American Apparel, long sleeved, scoop neck shirt- on sale for $12. Need I say more???
Then top it with this-
Wet Seal $19.50
and this...
You need this ring by Jules Smith designs (Julessmith.com).
Then perfect a dramatic exit 'cause you look good girl!
Scenario 3
"I messed up bad! How did I let that amazing creature go?"- The Run-Into
This one is my favorite! It's nothing like seeing an ex and you look even more stunning than when you met, dated and broke up. You can ususally tell from their face how wonderful you look and how dumb they feel for letting you slip through their fingers.
Strut in these
I'm usually anti-knock off or anything that resembles something designer when its not. However, there are acceptions to any rule. These red soled, patent leather lace up boots are hot! $89.00 at flyjane.net
Snatch these out your closet or for the price, buy a new pair
Forever21.com, $4.50
I like layering; pretend its cold-
I've never really shopped at American Eagle, but that's about to change. This army surplus coat is $59.95 and you can't beat that!
Also, American Eagle for $49.50 (this is definitely a repeat piece).
with a simple tee
Forever21.com, $14.00
and of course some jewelry!
Another great piece by Jules Smith Designs. The designer, Gina Nigrelli, makes some awesome stuff! You have to visit the site- I will be posting their stuff all week. The line is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands and is a really fun line with sexy, sophisticated pieces. All of their stuff feels like something you'd buy for yourself as a well-deserved treat.
I need you guys to comment and tell me what you think. Don't just look, talk to me! Lol-
