Hello again, to everyone who visits this site. Before I start on my post, I would like to apologize for missing out on my Friday post last week (8/02/08). As you know, it was Chinese New Year and things were quite crazy for me, preparations and all the house-visits. So, I apologize once again for failing to put up my post.
Yes! Moving on…. Since this site is created for girls of our age (or close), I’m assuming most of you who read this site happens to be in college/university. And that’s my theme for this week’s post.
Ever since we started this site, I’ve started paying attention to the various dressing styles of my classmates/college mates (males included, but I won’t talk about it). These days, its impossible to walk around college and not feel a stab of displeasure when you look at another person’s dressing, like Ohmygod! (hence the name of this site). Some look like they’re going to the beach (shorts, t-shirts, flip flops), some look like they’re going clubbing (short skirts, tight clothes, heels and LOADS of makeup) and etc. So, I hope my post for this week will help everyone.
College Do’s.
a) Do wear comfortable clothes.
I think this should be easy enough to understand. Think about all the hours you’re going to spend in college (I have this one class which is 7 hours long). So, wear something that you feel comfortable in, and not clothes that you think would impress the people in your college. Having your own personal style is always good, and you can express your personality and feelings through the clothes you wear, but bear in mind you’re dressing for college, not any other function.
b) Do minimize your accessories.
I love accessories as much as the next girl and we all know that accessories make an outfit. But there should be a limit to these items. Don’t go to college with your wrists clanking with 4 different bracelets (and a watch). For example, there’s this girl in my Design class who wears like, 3 huge plastic bangles on each wrist and every time she moves, it hits against the table and makes a lot of noise. Not good.
c) Do carry an appropriate bag for classes.
This is important too. So, you got a new Guess handbag, That’s great, really. I appreciate nice bags. And you want to carry it to college to show everyone else. So, where do you keep your books, stationeries and etc? In your arms? Another example, this girl I caught a glimpse of when she walked past my class, she was carrying this small, cute red handbag, but honestly, you could hardly see it, when her arms are filled with a bunch of notebooks, an art block, a pencil case and etc. So, use a bigger and more appropriate bag. It doesn’t matter if no one in your college knows you got a new handbag.
d) Do wear practical clothes.
There is a difference between comfortable and practical clothes. For instance, you may feel comfortable in a tube top, but that doesn’t make it practical for college. Wear something nice, but practical like, maybe a pair of nice jeans with a cute new top, or you can wear spaghetti straps and match it with a comfy sweater.
College Don’t’s.
a) Don’t wear heels to college.
Seriously, everyone would do well to take this advice. Don’t get me wrong. I love heels too (though I don’t wear them often) and they look great. But you’re only going to college. Apart from looking out of place in the college environment, it also looks quite uncomfortable to be walking around in all day (not to mention the blisters you get before the day is over). Stick to shoes that are comfortable. For example, sneakers, or ballet flats, or even slippers.
b) Don’t wear short skirts.
This is an ultimate no-no in college. I mean, skirts are fine. Short skirts are NOT. When you’re walking up the stairs, you don’t want to look up and see another person’s underwear (or lack of). Not a good sight. You don’t want to see it, other people don’t want to see it either. A full skirt can look nice if you know how to wear it. It doesn’t matter if no one sees those wonderful legs of yours. You know you have it! ;)
c) Don’t wear loose tops.
By loose tops, I mean that kind of top where the collar area hangs out when you bend down or something. It is NOT GOOD to have your boobs hanging out of your top when you’re too busy in class to notice. We all know you have it, but we don’t necessarily want to see it. It doesn’t make you look sexy AT ALL.
Last but not least, (this is the general one)
d) Don’t wear any other skin-baring, tight-fitting, short or otherwise uncomfortable clothing.
The most important thing is to be comfortable AND look nice at the same time. Yes, you may look good now, but you won’t feel comfortable when you’re freezing your bum off in one of your classes and you don’t have a sweater/jacket with you, or you have to walk around doing research and you’re in your heels. Looking good may be important, but it doesn’t help you pass your exams.
College is a great place to meet friends, make new ones, hang out and stuff but the main point? Study. So, maybe you should put more effort in knowing what’s going on in class rather than wondering what to wear for tomorrow.
Till next Friday!
Be original,
Anna
