I Can See Clearly Now....

You have a white shirt on....
A little too clearly...

A white shirt is a classic look. It can be paired with almost anything and remain appropriate. Many employees are instructed by their employers to wear black pants and a white blouse in order to look approachable to the customers. However, there is one thing that without a doubt makes a white shirt one of the biggest mistakes a girl could make. Not wearing the right colored bra. I know you've all seen that girl. You know, the one who wears a skin tight white shirt with a blue bra underneath. Oh, and the straps are pink with white polka dots...or some rendition of that. It's quite possibly one of the most disturbing things one could experience. No one, I mean no one, wants to see what you've got going on underneath.

So, what is one to do about this situation? Well, it's easy. Find a bra that matches your current skin tone. If the bra is the same color as your skin tone it will blend well with your skin and will be practically invisible underneath a white shirt. Many people think that the right bra to wear under a white shirt is a white bra, but they are wrong. It is impossible to math your white bra with every white shirt you own because every white will be different, and thus the bra will show through if the colors do not match. That is why getting a skin toned bra works perfectly, because your skin color does not change all that often. For younger people you can always wear a camisole underneath the white shirt if you cannot find a skin toned bra that you like. Of course, skin toned camisoles are hard to come by as well. However, I think it's worth taking your time to find one of the aforementioned options to eliminate having to stand in front of a mirror, blue bra and all, and ask yourself, "What was I thinking?"

N-O to the P-J's

There is nothing like curling up on the couch or in a warm bed with your pajamas on, but that is exactly their purpose. PJ's are NOT meant to be worn in public. It's safe to say that if there is a whole separate section of a retail store devoted to an item of clothing, the public eye is not meant to see the item unless under special occasions. For example: pajamas. Why on earth would one think that it is acceptable to wear one's pajamas in public? Why would the administration find it less "trashy" for a student to be wearing worn out pajama pants to school as opposed to a pair of jeans with a dime sized hole above the knee? Why on Earth would you not question yourself before being seen in public in pajama pants? I am absolutely dumbfounded by these questions. I realize that some people are extremely lazy when they get up in the mornings and have no desire to attend school what-so-ever, but there is no instance where that should provoke one to wear their pajamas UNLESS it is pajama day. IN THAT CASE.....I would at least wear pajama pants that did not look like they've been worn for the past 18 days straight. Okay, okay, maybe the person could not afford anything else. In that case I would find it acceptable for them to wear sweat pants to school that did not appear as if they had been worn several consecutive days straight. When that special day comes around, that I'll have to admit I look forward to, the day deemed "pajama day", I would not advise pulling your pajamas out of the bottom of the dirty clothes hamper. Let's face it, everyone looks at everyone else's pajamas to see who has the cutest ones. Even if you don't care about what you look like or what other people think of you, this matter is about having a little respect for yourself. So, remember to ask yourself "What am I thinking?" before you walk out the door in those piggy pajama pants you love so much.
