MY night life is almost
non-existent during winter. Unless it’s absolutely
necessary, I hardly go out simply because I’d rather stay indoors, keep warm
under my Zebra print couch blanket and watch TV. Pity I’m not really a
fan of coffee or tea but that would make my TV night perfectly warm, I’m sure. For a while I’d been
saying no to invitations to visit the new joint in town, Private Lounge,
because I dreaded the low temperatures.
But I just woke up on the
other side of my bed the other day and decided to oblige my friends – just to
boost investor confidence, like I like to call it. As expected, it was
nippy so I’d gone out in a burgundy leather jacket, dark blue turn up skinny
jeans, blush pink heels and a matching clutch bag. I wasn’t feeling
absolutely warm but I’d survive a few hours of the cold. As we stood at the
joints’ entrance while we waited for another friend to show up – a swagged up
couple came through.
The guy was in a pair
of blue denims, a white hoodie and white waffles. Like me, even though he
was well covered up, it was visible that he could still feel the cold as he had
his hands tucked away in the pockets of his hoodie. The girl, who I assumed
was his girlfriend, wore a sexy sleeveless black number which came just below
the hips and had a low neckline to flaunt her healthy cleavage with a pair of
peep-toe heels. I couldn’t believe it!
I just couldn’t get how anyone, in this chilly weather would walk out of the
house looking like we’re in the middle of a hot October!
Don’t get me wrong, she
looked absolutely stunning but the outfit just wasn’t weather appropriate. I
know for a fact she was freezing cold, I mean, we all were in our jackets and
jeans! And she’s not the first
woman I’ve come across who feels pressured to expose some skin even when the
weather doesn’t allow. It’s sad especially
when the man she’s with is all geared up for the cold weather in a jacket,
hoodie or jersey.
Ladies, don’t get it
twisted, looking sexy doesn’t always entail leaving your legs and cleavage out. You can look sexy in
winter clothes too. It all depends on how you put everything together! A cashmere sweater will
keep you extra toasty obviously. Don’t try to do a baggy sweater with a
mini-skirt if you’re going bar hopping, as generally no one pays attention to
what you’re wearing below your waist in a crowded bar.
Try a cropped leather
jacket over a v-neck shirt with a feminine chain link necklace. Do your feet a
favour and step into closed toe shoes. If you insist on
wearing a mini-skirt, opt for a fitted knit or cotton mini. The skirt won’t
look so skimpy and will be able to keep your tushie a little warm. We’ve all seen THAT
girl. There she goes again: the girl who thinks knee high boots are pants. No,
sweetheart, those are boots and you look like a very cold hooker.
Just wear opaque black
tights. They’re sexier than having goosebumps complete with the hairs on your
leg at full attention because you’re freezing. Even simple changes to
your usual makeup such as a bright lip or liquid eye liner can open your face
up more and will keep focus on your face. Wearing your hair up in
a styled pony will elongate your figure and relieve your torso of the hyper
bundled look.
