What women carry around all the time

Are women hard to figure out?

   " The poet John Lychgate once said "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." And you only need to look at these illustrations to realize how true that is.

They're drawn by artist and fashion designer Daisy Bernard, and they represent the fact that women are judged regardless of the expectations they try to live up to. Dress conservatively and you're frigid, but wear something revealing and you're obviously a slut. Likewise, women are often encouraged to be more assertive in the office, but when they are they're considered bossy. "Women are being told to take off their bikinis and undress on the beach," wrote Bernard in an article for The Tab. "But at the same time we should keep ourselves covered up, and shouldn’t show too much skin. These ridiculous expectations are created usually by men, and in many cases by other women too."

Is it beauty or what?

   "Good on you for making a question that can pull out so many answers, and such a gigantic list and photos of so many beautiful women.

For my answer, I’ll say that the most beautiful woman is Jessica Alba.

She looks like a perfect construction of a woman, as she’s been an actress, model, and a powerful business woman.

Her tone comes off as sweet and kind, while still dashingly attractive. She’s the kind of woman that you can’t take your eyes off of.

The difficulties she had through her childhood were mainly towards how incredibly attractive she was. Here’s some words from her about when she was just an early teenager;

"Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman".

This is why I would say that Jessica Alba is the most beautiful woman who has ever lived."

SKATER SKIRT AND SNEAKERS

Skater Skirt from H&M Trend (similar here, here or here) // Navy Sweater from H&M (similar here) // Reserved Bag (similar here) // Adidas Superstars (similar here)

Hallo ihr Lieben und viele Grüße von der Insel Lipari. Während ich hier meinen Sommer noch ein bisschen verlängern kann, habe ich in Berlin vorgesorgt und einige herbstlich angehauchte Looks vorbereitet. Einer davon ist dieser hier. Ich LIEBE diesen Rock – vielleicht erkennt der ein oder andere ihn sogar wieder, denn ich habe ihn bereits in einigen Looks hier auf Samieze gezeigt, sogar in einem der allerersten Looks überhaupt hier. Auch wenn ich ihn zugegebenermaßen viel zu selten trage, kann ich mich einfach nicht davon trennen. Abgesehen davon, dass er in den schönsten Grün- und Blautönen gemustert ist, ist er nämlich auch noch schnittechnisch der Innenbegriff eines Skater Skirts – also perfekt ausgestellt und auch nicht allzu kurz. Aufgrund der Dicke des Materials passt er ganz gut zur Übergangszeit. Dementsprechend habe ich ihn auch im heutigen Look mit einem leichten Sweater in passendem Navyblau kombiniert. Um zu zeigen, dass dieser sehr mädchenhafte Look auch im Alltag funktionieren kann, trage ich dazu meine liebsten Basic Sneakers und eine schlichte Tasche, die sich mit ihrem Blaugrau in das Farbschema einfügt. Um ehrlich zu sein haben wir diesen Look ca. eine Stunde bevor wir vergangenen Montag zum Flughafen gefahren sind, also Last-Minute, fotografiert. Dafür bin ich super zufrieden mit der Strecke – machen das die Farben? Was meint ihr? Und wie gefällt es euch?  Habt eine schöne Woche!

Clothes for the first lady!

"Many people do not realize that when Our First Lady is seen in a designer evening gown at a state event like a dinner for a visiting Prime Minister or President, the dress is a "loaner" given to her to wear just for that event, as a means for the dress designer to get free advertising, 

similar to designer dresses loaned to actresses to wear at awards ceremonies, like this Vera Wang-designed gown loaned to actress Emma Watson (The "Harry Potter" movies) for the Oscars ceremony. (Do people really think Emma Watson bought the dress for that one night out of her own bank account?)

"

What does a man's clothing say about him?

" 1.  Follow "fashion" less and personal style more. Style is what makes you an individual and it's WHO you are that makes you attractive to other people. Following "fashion" simply makes you one of the herd and one-dimensional. It doesn't matter if your style is boho, conservative, clean cut, or way, way casual. Whatever it is, own it and know yourself.

2.  Remember that your style is what you are actively saying to other people. How you present yourself to others matters, no matter how many times you hear "it's what's on the inside that counts." That may be true (I certainly believe so), but who you are on the outside also gets a say, especially to people you aren't familiar with.

3.  Dress appropriately for the occasion. No jeans at a wedding and no shorts in the middle of winter. And please, no black socks at the beach (European guys: index and middle fingers pointed at my eyes, now pointed at you).

4.  On the subject of socks, most guys have WAY too many pairs of white tube socks. You need 2 pair. Get rid of the rest and invest in some black, brown, beige, and, if you can rock it, red socks. Never wear white socks with sandals/flip flops unless you are in a traditional Japanese kimono.

5.  White jeans can be worn, but not with white shoes, not on a cold day, not on a rainy day, and not with colored underwear. And for the sake of baby Jesus, never go commando with white jeans/pants.

6.  Matching is a basic element of style. Sophisticated men know when to match and when not to. Every man should know that matching everything makes you look like a pimp. In general, belts should match shoes and ties should match pocketsquares. However, rules are made to be broken - just do so consciously. Stripes on stripes is only for experts, and even then I'm not 100% sold. To see men who are breaking such rules, with varying levels of success, check out the book "Gentlemen of Bacongo":
http://www.trolleybooks.com/book...

The Yellow Man of North Beach gets a pass.

7.  It's better to make sure the clothes you buy fit first, before you buy them. Alterations are expensive, so avoid them if you can. All suit jackets and pants must be altered. For jackets, cuffs should end at the wrist, not below it. Ask your tailor to bring in the sides of the jacket so that there is a V shape to your torso. Pant hems or cuffs should end anywhere between the middle of the back of the shoe to the top -- not higher or lower. Please, either roll up those jeans or have them hemmed. The torn and ragged hem you've created by walking around town with the back of your jeans below your shoe makes you look like you still live at home.

8.  Less is more.

9.  Accessorize. Most guys fail at properly accesorizing, but often accessories define a man of sophistication. Cuff links, a milan straw hat, ties, a tasteful ring (or a wedding band), a nice watch, a nice pair of glasses all add a nice touch to whatever you're wearing. Bling is good. However, refer to number 8. And on the subject of hats: hats often signal to other people that the wearer is ashamed of his thinning hair. Wear a hat if it's cold and misty or if you are out in the sun (or if you're at a baseball game - Go Giants!!) But don't wear a hat if your intention is to fool someone. They are not fooled. Unless they are completely shallow, if they are being nice to you it's because they don't care what's under the hat. So take it off.

10.  Shoes matter. Big time. For what a nice pair of shoes look like, Google "Allen Edmonds." Square toes will make you look shorter, rounded toes will make you look the size you are or taller.  

11.  By all means, flaunt whatever sex appeal you have. Don't be afraid to unbutton that top button or wear shirts that actually fit your body (most men's dress shirts are way too baggy). Just remember, it's a fine line between a little sex appeal and a lot of "Chester the Molester."

12.  Although rule number 8 is golden, layering can add sophistication and individuality to an outfit. Layering clothes says to others that not only are you creative, but you are warm. Cold guys are putzes.

13.  Guys -- a touchy subject: hair. The subject is unavoidable. Yes, it matters.  It matters even to men who are losing their hair. My feeling is that it's not how much hair you have, but what you do with it and if it looks right on you. A lot of guys are bypassing a little hair loss with the Mr. Clean look. Okay, that's cool. But balding men with clean and neatly cut hair can also look mature, which is how a man should look. Unless it's an essential part of your overall style, an adult male should not be walking around with a faux-hawk, nor should a balding man grow out the sides so that he looks like Riff-Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show.  

Beware of the product!! Product is meant to hold, not to be seen. The exception to this is the sculpted Don Draper/Mad Men look. In that case, invest in a good pomade that washes out easily and use a strong hair spray sparingly to keep it all in place. The other exception is if you are currently one of the cast members of Jersey Shore, and you are getting paid to look like a douche. Otherwise, don't get pwned by hair gel gone wild.

Take care of your hair. Unless you are using a lot of product, you don't need to wash it every day, especially if all you ever do is sit at a desk. Even if you work out, a good rinse with warm water is sufficient. Your hair stays healthy and soft when the protective oils coat the hair strands. Excessive washing strips your hair and skin of your natural oils -- especially considering most shampoos are made of heavy-duty detergents.

14.  You don't have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks. A pair of polished black shoes, basic blue jeans, a basic, white, button down dress shirt rolled up slightly at the sleeves and a subdued wristwatch is plenty. "Fast Fashion" stores like H&M, Old Navy, Zara, and Gap are great for some things, but they are often cheap because of the quality of the materials and the clothes are made for current trends, rather than longevity. A decent dress shirt will cost you anywhere between $85 (Macys) - $200 (Thomas Pink). But only suckers pay full retail, right? So, know what you want/need and keep your eyes open for sales. Better yet: Nordstrom's Rack.

15.  Relax. No matter how well you're put together, an angry or uptight man is never an attractive man. Confidence is not being overly assertive, but rather kindness to and respect for others are the true signs of a confident man. Your clothes may look like a million bucks, but your attitude may be saying "trailer fabulous."

16.  Finally, dress nice because you want to. Yes, it's important to have a dignified presence to others, but in the end it's your life. Clothes won't change what you are, but they can help communicate who you are and how you wish to be perceived."

A woman's style of dress may include these!

" My five essentials:

1. A white t-shirt. There's still nothing I feel sexier or more comfortable in than a plain, white t-shirt. It was that way when I was 16 and it still that way now at 30. I like the t-shirts from Everlane.

2. A black leather jacket. A good black leather jacket is a staple that will never go out of style, and adds an instant dash of cool and toughness to whatever you're wearing underneath. 

3. A good pair of jeans. I've been faithful to J. Brand jeans for five years now; I love their cuts and washes. I like when they produce their jeans in stiffer fabrics. The fabrics forcefully suck your thighs in. What woman doesn't like that?

4. A good, structured black bag. My current bag for the last three years has mainly been a Rebecca Minkoff "Morning After", and it's holding up reasonably well. Classic enough for every day, with enough detail in the gold hardware accents to add interest.

5. Leather leggings. I never thought I would like leather leggings, but I broke down and bought a pair recently and now wear them constantly (three times a week). They add more interest to my daily look than plain leggings, are warm enough for winter, and the black keeps them classic looking enough to pair with pretty much anything; a silky button-down, a boxy sweater, a t-shirt, you name it. 

My ideal outfit is a blazer (sometimes a leather blazer, sometimes a wool blend), a silky blouse (or sweater now that it's winter), well-tailored jeans or leggings, and ankle boots with a walkable heel, 2.5" or under. This pretty much the uniform of 90% of the women in New York City. 

I love fashion and enjoy trends, but I am NOT willing to suffer for fashion like I was at 18. If it isn't comfortable, I won't wear it; I don't care how trendy/sexy/chic it is. 

I'm also currently in the midst of a career transition and am now interning in the fashion industry. So, looking chic is pretty much a work requirement. 

It's tiresome sometimes to always wonder if your outfit is 'cool' enough, but at the same time, I know if I was left to my own devices I'd be in sweat pants every day. So, it's probably good that I'm working in an industry where I'm required to look at least somewhat presentable."
