"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." - Toulouse-Lautrec, Moulin Rouge!Our dear T is one of those lucky ones to be in love. So what about us single ladies? Well, we are lucky as well aren't we? I mean, how can we not be lucky as well? - the world is our oyster, right?
But maybe, just maybe, there is always going to be a little part of us that looks out for love; to long for love.
Maybe you long for the love for loving's sake, or you long for someone specific ... - or, if you are a complicated fool like me then we do indeed long for that specific someone yet loving from afar is a vital component, so even if we look out for love, it is the unattainability and the vagueness that is part of our lo..- I've lost the plot now, but you get the idea: somehow, to love and be loved is an important equilibrium in our lives.
So then, what is the game plan? What is the perfect, 'looking for love' outfit? Like, eye-catching enough to get Cupid to shoot love arrows at us? (no pun intended... seriously.)
J'S OPERATION ACO (Attract-Cupid-Outfit, of course)
C - Carefree
We can't exactly be focused on our love lookout if we're constantly straightening/fixing/shifting/
U - Understatement rather than overstatement
Triple push-up bra with body-shaping, bum-lifting, more cushion-for-the-pushing-
P - Peek-a-boo (not peek-it-all!)
A little from the top, or legs, not both - and not baring it: just a little eye-catcher. Even if it's all covered up, but is body-hugging on your curves - guys do have creative imaginations when it comes to it. And it doesn't have to be the goodies - the magic exists at the nape of the neck or the shoulders as well!
I & D(Mind kind of stopped working here...) - IT doesn't always have to be DOWN!
Let's experiment with our hair - what complements the outfit? Makeup? Although it may seem like guys like the idea of running their fingers through our hair etc. we can 'tease' with hairstyles as well - who says we can't set the bar for who can unravel that loosely-done hair? Or that tight bun crowned on top of those collar bones? *wink*
Following the plan of operation, what 'perfect', Cupid-attracting, love-longing, happiness-seeking and equilibrium-of-life-balancing outfit have I chosen?
I opted for:
- My sleeveless, gold and black top from River Island
- My (super favourite) flowy, polka-dot, Piccinini trousers
- THE red Ked's (most comfortable shoes, ever!)
- My beige, fur jacket, and finally
- My gold bangle, tribal-like ring, watch necklace and earrings! (Besides the earrings, these accessories have been with me through thick and thin!)
The point here is, I LOVE each piece the most and I feel absolutely comfortable in them - and sometimes, that is what is most important right? As cliché as it sounds, when we feel happy and confident in our own skin and what we wear, there is such an uplifting aura! (or, well, hopefully!)
At times, we don't have to bend over backwards when it comes to looking for love.
"They say the best thing a girl can wear is her smile."Amen to that! Even if we have someone that we long for and are head over heels for - who says we can't defy the law of attraction and be heels over head?! (lol)
So dearest Dashionistas, whether you are looking/longing for love or not, remember that your self, happiness and confidence are very important. Although they are not material things, I have found that they are important accessories of personal style and fashion! Afterall, we buy what we like and what we think looks nice, right? :)
So my question to you is: what's your most favourite outfit that you feel the best of the best in? Send us your snapshots to our Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and we'll feature it and hopefully get Cupid shooting arrows your way! (Again, no pun intended!)
Happy weekend everyone! Have a lovely week ahead and look out for next Friday, where K will be blogging the #3 post of the cycle!
