The one with the long hair....!!

“You should dress up like a girl”, she said for the nth time as I stood in my shorts and Tee, trying very hard not to roll my eyes.

“I AM a girl; I have long hair”, I concluded. Well that part was true,I did have long hair!

“Try looking like one sometimes”,she mocked,brandishing the eye-liner in her hand like a weapon of mass destruction.

“Come, lets try it on you”.

Uh-oh. Now this couldn’t be good.Let me be clear.I have nothing against eye-liners or nail paints(including the fact that several times I can’t tell them apart and consequences follow.) like this one time when I very confidently put a “different black lipstick”, only to find out that it was a kohl stick! Needless to say, I had to roam around with a slightly “different “ lip color for the next two days. Hence my experiences(I have had several) put me in a phobia of cosmetics. So “ lets try it on you” kind of kills. However unable to find a feasible way to run or the voice to protest, I sat down. After about an eternity of “dont shake”s and “stay still”s, I was left sitting there, waiting for the crap to dry. Now the thing with patience is that it lives a short life, especially in this story,and so when I opened my eyes, I looked straight out of a Ramsay horror film. No amount of rubbing takes that off your face, let me tell you. Only after I turned my face into the likes of a “dhobi ghaat” did I manage to look a little normal. And hence a resolution was derived: STAY AWAY FROM THE MUCK.

Having had that experience, anyone would have killed the make up artist or tossed. But I thought “what the hell”, n hence the next part. Now let me enlighten the less informed of you about short dresses:

1) 1)They make you look good(depending still)

2) 2) If you stand under a fan, you become a living replica of Marlyn Monroe(not the good parts)

3) 3) Don’t even think about jumping

4) 4) You have no option but to be at your “lady-like” best!

So when on a very unfortunate day I wore something of the kind, 2),3) & 4) happened. About 1), I cant say nothing. Well I tried, but its difficult to be ladylike, and hence very conveniently and less than 8 hours later, I was back to my shorts clad jumping stairs self. As far as “looking like a girl” is concerned, well, I DO have long hair!!

How to Deal When You're Super Bored With Your Closet

Every woman has, at some point or another in her life, probably opened her closet and been excited to wear absolutely nothing in it. It's essentially a rite of passage for anyone who has even a mild interest in fashion—no matter how many articles of clothing you may own, the day will come when you find it all utterly boring.

The good news is that there's a relatively easy way to deal with these feelings. In short: You just need a fun injection. Whether that means tossing on your favorite, colorful scarf or simply wearing that quirky hat you forgot you had, it's time to take a step back and look for one unexpected element to add to your look.

To see what we mean, keep scrolling!

You open your closet door and stand before every sartorial posession to your name, and a feeling that can only be described as existential dread. Nothing in eyesight even remotely excites you, and the ennui you experience is so deep that you ponder whether or not you really need to leave the house today.

The quick-fix solution: Reach for something classic that you know is also comfortable—think an LBD, your favorite pair of jeans and a T-shirt, and so on. Then, toss on your favorite accessory—whether it's a necklace, hat, or scarf—for an instant mood-lifter.

The long-game solution: Grab your mobile device of choice and get to shopping. Stick to affordable brands that offer on-trend pieces to give your wardrobe an immediate boost without offernding your wallet.
