It's a fact that women dress for other women. While we might be hoping to catch the eye of Mr Hot Guy in our Saturday night get up, and I know I get a secret kick when my Better Half notices my shoes. But if I am totally honest I know that he doesn’t really understand all of my fashion choices.
After a pretty gruelling Saturday morning, completing in a Triathlon, I had to put together an outfit for an ultra chic hen party at a swanky London restaurant.
Struggling with exhausted legs and severe sun burn (silly me forgot my SPF) it seemed like a mammoth task to dress myself in anything other than slippers and a slanket (we all have our off moments). An hour later and my wardrobe had yielded some tailored shorts, a silk blouse, a white blazer and some heals. None of it new, or well planned out.
Admiring glances from my lovely boy gave me the boost I needed to get out the door, but in truth it was a passing comment from a girl on the Number 22 which really made my night. Clearly a stylish lady in her own right, and confident enough in herself to be gracious, this fab gal jumped back on the bus momentarily to tell me she loved what I was wearing! I blushed… but this moment of recognition from a fellow style lover gave me a great feeling and really got me thinking.
We should keep dressing for the approval of other women, it's not bitchy or competitive - it's a little bit of mutual appreciation of a world which our boyfriends and husbands rarely understand. (If you've got one who does - keep him!)
And ladies… if you do see someone who's style you admire, tell them! It will make you and them feel fab- trust me!!
Go forth and compliment.
