Five Dating Myths

Beautiful women are being tricked by society into myths about dating. Today, we are looking at different five myths for society.

MYTH 1: If several friend or family member think that the male is wrong for you, automatically they are wrong.
FALSE: Ever heard of the phrase of 'can't see the forest through the trees'? Your friends and family have your best interest in their hearts; so, if the person was good for you then they should also see that. However if there is some mistakes occurring in your relationship. If you also find something wrong, evaluate if it is wroth keeping.

MYTH 2: Women should feel more comfortable to make the first move.
TRUE: Ever heard that men are more supposed to be more hunters? Sure, but that does not mean they do not to be teased by their prey! Different studies have ranged from 85-90% of body language for the human language; while, there is only 10-15% of human language is verbal. So, smile at the guy and then play with your hair - and have him come rolling over your way.

MYTH 3: Friends leads to lovers. 
DEPENDS:  Common grounds can pull together friends and lovers.  Tim and I became friends before we started to date, with the common interest of role-playing. While CyberPsychology has done a study on Facebook, that states that putting your potential relationship as a friend can lead them to be jealous and have the possibility of not having a relationship. Be careful with getting your potential partner too jealous before a relationship.

MYTH 4: Males like it when you engage them.
TRUE:  Ever heard of the story about being vein? Conversations occur with one speaking, the other listening and responding.


MYTH 5: The first thing a guy notices is your eyes.
FALSE: Ever heard or had to use the phrase "my eyes are up here"? There is a reason that women have to use it. Cosmo and AskMen have taken a study of what men desire more. The result of the study shows 62% of men are checking out for a hot body for the purpose of producing young; while, only 27% are looking into the women's eyes. So, wear something flashy with a slight seductive appeal without crossing the line to tramp.

Five Sexual Myths Revealed

Were you ever shocked to find out what your partner had on her mind? Today, I will uncover five myths with prove studies. Get ready to spice up your mind!   

Myth 1: Men think about sex more than females. 
TRUE: Is it wrong to think about sleeping or eating more? Because, an Ohio State University found that the general male population think about sex, sleeping, and eating more than women do. Men are more pronoun to be thinking of things that they require for survival than women. So, send your partner a naughty text - it is always a great way to spice up the relationship...plus it might lead to something naughty later!

Myth 2: Women get aroused by men who have power and status. 
FALSE: Sure, women have might have a list of desirable; but, women ready for love are willing to have some of those subtracted for the right guy. According to a Northwestern University study, women are more likely to leave behind the need for power and wealth for an actual partner. Be proud of any job that you have; because, with that job you can get the one thing the girl is looking for - a fun date! With August almost done, head over to apple picking or the local beach party.

Myth 3: Women have fewer sexual partners than men. 
DEPENDS: Generally, men try to be more macho by adding two more women by the number of women they have sexual relationships with. Women, on the hand, are afraid to be thought of as sluts and thus tend to minus by two sexual partners. So, how can you learn the truth of how much? Start off slow in the relationship and when the women does not feel judged then ask.


Myth 4: Women organism less frequently than men.
FALSE: Women tend to organism in different rates, while having sexual pleasure. According to an Indian University, women's organism can range from hardly gonna occur to almost always gonna occur. For a first time hook-up, get ready for your partner to hardly occur, at a rate of 32%. Women's organism increases only slightly for repeated hook-ups with a partner to 49%. If you are committed together, women's organism will increase to as high as 79$, because men tend to be more generous during foreplay. Explore your woman's body and take a look at my fore playing blog for further pointers.

Myth 5: Most men want women with hot bodies.
True: Although this may be true, it might come as a shock what general men find is appealing. According to an article in  PLoS one, men under stress prefer a heavier or full-figured woman, rather than a thin one. According to those researchers, men prefer this kind of woman because they come with a more mature physical characteristics; as, they symbolize independence, control, and strength. But hey, let's be honest - as long as you are with one you love why does it really matter what they look like?

Keep love fresh because it can occur all borders, and myths! Until next time...

Lingerie

What can you wear to turn on your partner? Lingerie is said to be for attractive underwear but different for both genders. We gathered up three different types of types of lingerie: full outfit, tan-outfit, and totally revealing.

Full Outfit Lingerie

A full body outfit is sort of like a one-peice swim-suit where it covers everything; especially, how the fine men get to parade around with shirts are unrequited. Men are left doing the one thing they love: imaging what their fine women look like under the attire. Full outfit lingerie is great for when your future fun-mate is sleeping over but you ain't ready to take it to that next step. These outfits can be sexy mini-black dresses that can make a man's arouse stand firm. Women can also find a cute little pajamas; cute little note any pair of pajamas turns on men so you can possibly save money.



Tan-Outfit 

If the full body outfit is a one-piece bathing suit; than, this is like a tan-kine. "Tan" meaning two piece, of course. Men and women can bond in heat where their sexual partner walks around in this. Leaving room for some imagination; but, easier to rip off when the time seems right leaves our partner speech-less.  

 Totally revealing 

Whether it is time for some amazing fun or just what is plain under your cloths, totally revealing lingerie is a fresh way to spice up your ware-robe and make you feel sexy! A tip for the men, attempt to get a color that your girl or guy would love whether it is in boxers or underwear. For the women a tip for searching something for your lover, something matching is sure to have them pulling you to them. In some cultures, within two weeks of purchasing women lingerie for under everything, if a woman is having a sexual relationship with someone, people choose to "break-in" by wearing that during making love.




Whatever you choose to wear for your partner or self; have fun and please join us nest time.

Foreplay

Having sexual encounters are different for each couple; but, foreplay is an important part of making someone else in the mood during a long time to make love with your partner. Foreplay is a physical and/or emotional connection that brings a more spiritual, romantic, seductive, and powerful.We are looking at four different things that can work for fore-playing: touch, kisses, role-playing and games. :

Touch
There is other parts of the body, besides privates, where it is used to loose up the body which can get aroused by how you touch. The sitting on the guy's lap has been an old fashioned style of turning on both; however, if one can't fit putting your legs but, if you have an issue with that putting your legs over theirs is a great back-up. Playing with each others' hair, works especially if they are female. The playing with inner thighs, greatly used for teasing but not making that instantly leap to privates.  Fair warning, if you have 'gentle hands' which is great for massage, you may put your lover to sleep if you massage them too gently.

Kisses
Touching is not the only physical connection that can arouse your partner. A great help if you have gentle hands which makes touches even harder.  Of course, you can kiss the lips and get aroused; but, normally it has been done and now it is time to move on. Therefore the question remains: move onto what? The neck to jawline with your lips, it sends shivers down the back. Speaking about the back, if you have gentle send kisses down the back it can send them spinning. The chest for both sexs can get them aroused to have your lips lower.

Role-Playing 
Everyone has had a fantasy. The typical fantasies include: french maid, pirates, fairy-tales, naughty student and sexy police officer.  No doubt that is why you can pick up some of these outfits at novelty stores! Most couples who have meet on 3-D chats or form chats often lead to role-playing because normally that is how they meet.  If, you want to try to coax yourself inside in it, there are cards that can help you act into it.


Games
For those who are desiring some more adventurous sexual encounters to spice up your bedroom, think games! They can include card games and daring little dice games.Card games can include things such as: dirty truth or dare, call of the wild, trivia, etc. Daring little dice games is rolling around an arousal game and doing the act for three minutes. All of these can be found at your closest novelty stores! So spice up and let loose!

Fashion Monday: Safety for Fitness


How many of you do some fitness activities? How can you protect yourself with fitness activities? Today on Fashion Monday, we take a look at 5 different things that can help you have a great work out!  

1.       Consult with your professional. The doctors should know what your body can and cannot do. They may even have something to do while going through rehab. Other professionals you can trust is fitness coaches in your nearby gym.





2.       Have a spotter. This is a great supporter for all fitness activities. They can be your back-up and supporter when you require it. Back-up when you are doing weights is if you accidently give up on the weights they can be there to take it off you. Be sure, that you have someone who can lift up the same weight as you for this. For long walks, a great supporter will push you to your boundaries and then have you walk back. Either one of you should have a great sense of direction. Friends work best for this; but, if you do not have someone you can rely on certain training sites.


3.       Push until your uncomfortable; but not more. Let’s say someone can carry 50 pounds. Then they should try their best with 55 pounds or 60 pounds to allow for a burning sensation. However, do not try to make it up to 70 because you may risk hurting your body.




            Do not work out until an hour later. While you are swimming, your meal becomes an extra weight that you have to swim with. While you can eat certain things to improve on other activities, it is generally a good idea to avoid eating while swimming. I have eaten two course meals than swam within that time; I threw up everything and had to be brought back into my home. You can also stay in the shallow area of a pool if you are just finished eating, that way you can stand up if a leg starts cramping because of the additional weight.


5.       Remember to do exercises before a strenuous activity. Stretching out your body makes it easier to not get hurt. With pointing to your feet and then reaching up. You can also try putting your legs up high to your chest and then kicking your butt.

Sexual Condifence through Meditation


Through meditation you can open your own body to energy as it passes in and around you. You can join in the dance of creation better with your partner. Take time to meditate each day so that you may be able to focus more while making love to your significant other.

1.       Start with lying down on the floor. Your head should be supported with a pillow at the start of your neck and leave enough space for your head to tilt slightly down. This can come in handy for a great position while doing the missionary position or cowgirl position.
   

2.       Focus on your breathing. Remember to breathe in from your nose and out through your lips. As you focus on your breathing, begin to feel yourself get relaxed and focus to becoming more aligned with your body.

3.        Concentrate on widening your hips. Allow your body to spread across the floor more. Becoming one with the feeling.  Bend your knees so that your hips can be wider.

4.       As you breathe, encourage every cell to expand while envisioning your inner self. Spreading up your body to allow every cell to expand as you relax greater into your breathing. Envisioning your inner self and the pleasure you are feeling.

Girl's Guide: Monogamy


Monogamy is having one person to be your partner at a time. In the Holy Bible, it states that a person should be only married to one person at a time. However in the Quran, it states that as long as your first wife approves and you are able to take care of both wives equally, then you are allowed to take on a second wife. Women think before the action of making love to someone but men think after. So why is it so benefit to have monogamy?

The reason why women should seek monogamy in a relationship is it provides stability. The stability allows for a deeper connection with their partner and more happiness. In my own personal experience, when I was in a polygamy relationship with my partner because we had just decided to be friends with benefits, I was miserable. I knew that he was allowed to go out and make love to whatever girl he suited during that night, and I had no say in it. I also knew I had the same right. But men if you are reading this too here is a good point of keeping a relationship working, women need to feel protected and loved in a relationship, we can provide for ourselves.

Men's Guide: Asking the girl out


Most girls desire the guy to make the move to ‘just-friends’ to ‘couple’. But, how are the guys suppose to be making that move in the relationship?

1.       Gauge her interest. Is she is a friend and keep laughing when you tell a bad joke? Does she flirt with you, even if you still a friend?

2.       Notice how often she touches you. Even at a bar, a girl will brush her leg against yours or lightly touch your hand. Your friend might hold your hand or look for reasons to touch you.

3.       Observe how she looks at you. She may be smiling and flipping her hair then turning away as a great top. If you’re having a conversation, she will be looking at you and hopefully smiling.

4.       Look directly at her. She needs to feel that she trusts you. By looking down at her chest you are subjecting her.

5.       Help her out. If you are close friends, take her stuff when she needs something done. If you are meeting at an area at the first time, this might mean that you buy her a beverage.

6.       Be confident. Everyone has some good traits about them that one person will like. Learn to like yourself and then things will work out.

7.       Throw yourself out there. Be ready to ask if they want to do an activity with you.

8.       If it does not turn out, stay out there. There are other fish in the sea. Or, it could be that she does not like the activity.

Try to make sure you have a good call plan, or use messangers to help keep costs down if possible
Okay, how hard is it to keep a friendship with the same girl you almost married?
For me its not too hard, just knowing they are being taken care of is good enough for me.
As the friend and an ex-partner, do you feel that her social challenges had any effect on your relationship?
Yes, she would talk to me often about various issues in her life which considering it was a distance relationship made me felt as if I was carrying extra baggage.

Fashion weekly: Why diets fail

Did you know that men and women lose the same amount on a diet? Many people from each gender want to go onto weight-loss programs. So, then why do we quite the dieting program? We will be discussing the three main reasons why diets do not work.

1.       The diets fail the person. The diet is structured too specific to meet our own lives. The diet should be more formatted to fit our time, energy levels, fitness routine, etc. Most people who are on a diet are also working it with fitness; and, most people who work out for more than 3 hours a bi-daily are required extra protein in their diets.

2.       It is limiting you from the right food. Some diets are specific in what they want you to eat such as a powdered milkshake in the morning for your breakfast. A healthy choice can be an raw egg with milk and spices; that is right egg-nag.  Surprising if you do not add too much sugar, this little beverage can give you the energy you need. When I use to be on the track-team, I had this morning breakfast and shot it back and for the rest of my day I was wide awake and active and this little drink helped me get into semi-finals.

3.       The weight-loss plateau. It means that no matter what diet you go on eventually your body will fail. Your body will notice the change of diet and act according with losing the amount of fat. However once you have lost that much fat, your body has lesser pounds which make it that your body does not to eat as much as previously.

So, than what is recommended? The Canadian Food Guide is a great way to start.    They recommend 5-12 servings of both the grain and fruit section. Milk products get 2-4 per serving unless you are pregnant than it is 3-4.  Meat and alternatives food group gets 2-3 per daily serving. Remember to consult with your doctor for the dieting tips you need.

Couple's Guide: Confidence for better sexual intimacy


“I have several problems with getting intimate with my partner. Every time that we get close, I start having fear about my size.”

-Unknown, US

“My partner was a virgin when we did it. I was not.  I wonder if he thinks I am a slut; even, when he tells me I am not.”

-Unknown, Canada

It takes a lot to unclothe you and become intimate with someone else. There are worries that you are not worth your partner’s intimacy. You may suffer from a lack of abilities that you otherwise would have had. How can you improve your confidence enough to enjoy your partner’s love physically? These are ten steps to better your sexual confidence.

1.       Identify why you are feeling that way. Was there ever a time where you were told about your size not being worth it and identify the source it came from. Was it even your partner? Many people have their own personal theories.

2.       Get out of the thought process that you will need to trick your partner. For an example, Tim knows that I am beyond the amount of experiences that he has. So, he allows me to do as much or as little as I see fit.

3.       Take time. Take time to go to the sexual part of the relationship, that way you can already trust your partner and your confidence will be ready for step 4. You can also tease the other, when you pull away from them thus they will be so desiring for you – it would not matter how the sexual techniques are like.

4.       Believe in equality of the relationship. Both people deserve to have their wishes taken care of. Usually in a good relationship if you have an issue with the sexual relationship, your partner is willing to assist you and give you reasons as to why they believe you’re not small or a slut.

5.       There is no one way to do the deed. Many couples have different ways of making love. There is no such thing as the wrong way and you might be shocked of what your partner wants. Each couple differs because people’s wants defer. For an example: my ex loved when I stay still; but, Tim hates.

Join us next week Friday where we discuss how meditation can help.

Women's Guide: Lovers to Friends


“Is it appropriate to have your ex-boyfriend as your friend?”

-Holly, Canada


Many people have an issue with whether or not an ex-partner can be friends.  Although many people will disagree to being friends after a horrible break-up, how do you know if it is appropriate to continue to friendships?
“Let’s just be friends.” But what does it mean to be friends? In some ways being friends with your ex-boyfriend is harder than being friends with someone who was not. If you are willing to put your past relationship aside you can possibly have a friendship. Here is some great tips to continue to be friends with an ex.

How to stay friends after a break-up:

1.       Evaluate whether this is the best course of action. Was it a horrible break up where one or the both of you has been infected over it? Example: if one of you has humiliated the other person in front of your friends; then, it might not be the best of choices.

2.       Allow time to heal. Have you both gotten over the break-up? I have a friend who still tells his ex-girlfriend that he wants to marry her. For approximately 2-3 months, but can take longer or shorter, after the break up heal your broken heart.

3.       A break up is a break-up; if not, then it is not. This is a time to avoid having sex with each other otherwise you may start being girlfriend and boyfriend again. My fiancée and I had flirted on each other while we were broken up and eventually realized we were too good together to stay broken up.

4.       A partner is a partner; and an ex is an ex.  Just like number three there are boundaries, the people must appreciate the new bonds in their ex-partner’s life. Do not glare at the new partner or state that you want to be that person.

5.       Take it slow! Remember, not necessarily will you want to be ‘friends’ all the time. Sometimes it might still sting when you least expect it. If friendship does not work out come together, discuss it with your ex to what should happen. Your current partner or their current partner might also have a say in whether or not is a good idea.

Guy's Guide: Communication verbal and non-verbal


“I believe it is most important to have compassion, communication, and commitment in a relationship. While I am very committed to my girlfriend, we tend to lack at the other two. Is there any advice you would give us?”



- Brandon, USA

Last week, I answered the questions of compassion. As compassion is the ability and desire to understand what the other person requires. Yesterday, we learned how important that communication is in a long-distance relationship, with Ally. Communication can be divided into verbal and non-verbal.

Verbal
Words can tell elaborate details of people’s stories.  Words can explain what the other person needs for their caves or physical touch. This is where people with Asperger’s succeed because they cannot lie; but, may explain something until someone else understands what they are saying.

Steve Lowell has a wonderful training area of this. The ‘I’ or what you require is the First-circle, for his public speakers students, that is all about what they require and want. This is hard for other people to listen to, as Toby Keith’s song says “I want to talk about me”. The Third-Circle, for his public speakers students, tells about their personal stories. The most desiring circle is the second circle, for his public speaker students, it allows people to have their own desire to speak and relate (Lowell 2012).

Non-verbal
There has been many studies that show approximately between 80%-95% of communication is based on non-verbal. Non-verbal is tone of pitch, body language, and volume. The ability of non-verbal provides: enforcement of words, replacement of words, and to over-ride words. This is the most difficult to people who have Asperger’s as this seems to be a foreign concept to them. It takes a long time for someone to get motor-focus therefore others may come across as awkward.

Michael John Carley has made two different suggestions of improving your non-verbal skills: acting class and videos. Acting class is an amazing way to understand how important and what you require for non-verbal (Carley 2008). As an actress, myself, I had moved from playing the dog part because of how I did not understand the human non-verbal. After taking several courses where I learned what a simple hand gesture meant I moved to a role where all I had was non-verbal skills.  Video taking is another way to improve your non-verbal skills; by first video tapping yourself and then taking tips from your friends (Carley 2008). For another example, I took my very first video with Ally. After my Toastmaster’s group, my friends made suggestions of how to improve my own non-verbal. Now, I can improve my interview skills.

What to wear to a party


Most people have been there when they look into their closet and have no idea what to wear. Since it is Victoria Day, this fashion article will be about how to look fashionable at a party from the costume party to the formal party.

The Costume Party
Before you go to this type of party, learn what it is going to be expected, by asking your friends. There are some parties were the scariest costume wins. This is great for long costumes, with creepy faces, and wacky hair. There are other costume parties where it is appropriate to dress up sexy. These have more skin being shown; leave your hair down, etc. Cosplay parties were it is appropriate to dress up as one particular anime character.




 The Casual Party
Image you are just hanging out with your friends to have a couple of beers. This idea outfit is something that does not over-due it. Jeans are a great accompaniment to these parties. The top for a guy should be a nice t-shirt or dress-shirt. Girls should try to wear a tank-top with some sparkles. Come prepared in case beer does get spilled on you.

The Semi-Formal Party
The cocktail party or the dinner-date party is both excellent choices for a semi-formal party. There are great women’s cocktail dresses around to buy!  While wearing a dress, girls should accessorize with matching purses, high-heels, and jewelry. Guys look great in suits during this event.




The Formal Party
These are great balls or the black tie events are great formal parties’ ideas. Men should wear suits or tuxedos to these types of events and have their hair jelled back. Men should accessorize with nice watches. Women should wear gown dresses that go down past their knees. Women should accessorize with matching purses, jewelry, and high-heel shoes.

Guide To: The First Date

The first date sets the mood of what the relationship will be like. Regardless if someone has been dating a while long-distance or living in the same city, the first date shows if the common interests and chemistry is enough in the couple for the continuing of a positive romantic partnership.

The recommended places to suggest on a first date where you can talk. This could include a walk, a meal, etc.

Women can provide for themselves and now rely on the males to express an interest in a relationship. They expect to be called if a guy is going to be late and women are suppose to give the same custody.
Floyd had wanted to take me out to dinner, after knowing each other on line. But he had planned to meet me at 4 o'clock, I was ready to meet with him at this time. Without receiving a phone call and it becoming 5:30 pm, I decided to go to dinner, by myself. By the time I had came back it was approximately 6 pm, and he finally arrived. During the date we had attempted to feel something while kissing, but had no spark. The only thing in common we had was our cadet experience and close to army brat lifestyle.

Sometimes, the first date can tell the person that they are made for each other. Last year I told Tim I would be arriving and planned to go out at another date. I had arrived two days early, he had agreed to meet me in a half an hour but he was there fifteen minutes earlier. Although our family history was not the same, we had our personal interests very much in common. Our chemistry helps to drive our relationship.

Next time your thinking about taking someone on a first date, remember to be in-tuned with where you can go to talk. Think about ways to make sure that you both have chemistry, such as the perfect time to kiss. If your going to be late in a first date, call ahead of time.

Guy's Guide: Compassion



Compassion

“I believe it is most important to have compassion, communication, and commitment in a relationship. While I am very committed to my girlfriend, we tend to lack at the other two. Is there any advice you would give us?”

-          Brandon, USA

Compassion is the ability and desire to understand what the other and attempt to obtain that for the other person. Compassion therefore requires that the couple understands what both sides want.
A long time ago, it was very easy to understand what women and men were expected to do. According to Dr. John Gray, things went from simple to complex after a couple of generations. Men were supposed to be the hunters. Women were supposed to be into taking care of the home and the children. There is the idea that some women still do this by being the stay-at-home wives, but today this limits their social gatherings. My eldest sister wants this to be her future. She wants her partner to provide for her and stay with her children.

Now, women can obtain their own careers and desire more. The men want to get their women to compliment their work and acknowledge what they have done is appropriate. Women continue to take care of the house and the children as well as being the second income source. Women are in a constant battle with their partners because they find that they are not doing enough. My close personal friend, Nat, goes to school full time, has a full-time job and cleans the house; she is exhausted by the time the day is done so desiring to sleep rather than stay up and compliment her husband. Her husband works full-time and is done schooling but does a chore once and a while.

So, how can a guy suit the fulfilment of providing his partner with their needs and hopes? Start out by remembering to do small things around the house, this way it proves that you are willing to work as equally with your partner in the family. Second if you want to be complimented then that means your partner does too. So, why not write a note to your lover and soon following your partner will write one for you. Just because the honey-moon phrase is over, does not mean the romance needs to be over as well.

Women's Guide: Why time alone is best for both


Mars and Venus in love

By: John Gray, Ph.D.
"I am less interested in what other's relationships are like. I want to know more about yours."
- Mandi, Ontario


Men need their private time alone, but this does not mean that he does not love his partner. Dr. John Gray describes when men need their time alone and refers to their cave. In Mars and Venus in love chapter three, Dr. Gray talks about the Martian cave.  

Dr. John Gray explains that a cave does not mean the man loves his partner less. It means he needs his time alone, so that he can later be fully with her. When a woman does not want to talk to each other that mean that they are in a large fight. Women need to understand that it is not their fault. Tim goes into his cave each weekday, yet he is ready to talk only on Saturdays. I use to figure that because he was in his own cave that he was trying to get rid of me. It frustrated me, especially since there were times when I was busy all day on Saturday. I would often feel left out on the weekdays and resent him on the weekends.

According to Dr. John Gary, women also need their space away from the guy too. Men often have told me that they love it when their partner is not telling him why she is busy; she is just hard to get a hold of. Women need to allow themselves to get busy by doing their own activities and what makes them happy. On Saturday, I was busy cleaning my room and eating lunch. My msn was opened but I was not there. I did not really explain myself when I came back. Tim was wondering where I was when I had gotten back. He then tended to flirt with me.

Women and men need their time away from each other. It makes the other curious and desiring to pay more attention for the next time.

Jeans: Formal or not


Some work environments has the causal days and others are less formal environment. Sometimes your partner never tells you where you are going to be on a date. So, when faced with these situations, is it appropriate to wear jeans?
At the work office, you want to look professional regardless of how casual you are. Save your ripped jeans for a day out in the field! Jeans can look great when they are black in the office setting, especially with the right blouse and jacket. There are some black jeans out there that may even look more professional than dress pants. How can we tell which is the best?  Jeans with the same thread color of the pants can hide away the appearance of those annoying lines.  An interesting fact is that sometimes owners of firms will use these types of jeans.






Do not know where you are going on a date? Not to worry, there are jeans can be acceptable in different situations. For an example, black jeans that have white lines with a black jacket and white shirt can be great for a semi-formal occasion. A black or blue jean skirt, for the women, can be also a nice touch to suit.

However, there are some types of jeans that are not accepting in those situations. The jeans that have rips in them should be left for when you are cleaning the house. If a jean has their rips at the bottom of the pants and can be rolled up, it is excusable for going shopping.

If you still question your jeans, send a photo to eth-lizzie@hotmail.com . I or one of my fashion consults, from ETH, will be glad to evaluate it.
