Summer is Flirting Time !!

Maybe you’re not so great with first impressions, or maybe you just want to sharpen up your skills. We know all the basics. You laugh, you make eye contact, you touch his arm. I’m yawning already. Are you? Well you’ve come to the right place! I’ll help you out without the basics! I’ve got some ways to help you flirt better, even though I’m pretty sure you don’t need any help with that million-watt smile of yours! Either way, check out some of my tips below and let me know what you think in the comments.

Be Yourself- According to science, flirting is something you already know how to do. That arm touch and all that eye contact—well, you already have that down. It’s evolution! All you have to do is be yourself and the rest will come naturally.

Try To Make A Connection- Let go of trying to make an impression. Honestly, first impressions are more based on physical appearance, body language, and the sound of your voice. What you actually say makes up about 7% of someone’s first impression of you. So try to let go of that ego and focus on making an actual connection so that 7% counts. Besides, the goal of flirting isn’t to impress, it’s to show that you have an interest in that other person. So try your best to make that interest be known.

The Golden Rule- Treat the person you’re flirting with like a human being. Again, seek to make a connection! People can tell when you’re trying to treat them like a conquest or a challenge. Go into flirting with the idea that you’re going in to meet another person. Now get out there! You got this, girl!

How to style KAKI

Khaki pants have a very easy and casual look to them but they’re not exactly the top choice for bottoms for a lot of fashionistas simply because they have a better rep with country club golfers and horse riders. However, with the right pieces and the right accessories, you can create a stunning street style look with a pair of these. Here are some tips and ideas on chic ways to wear khaki pants.

WEAR IT WITH A POP OF COLOR – since khaki pants are pretty neutral, a nice pop of color somewhere in your outfit would surely do it lots of good. You can choose to wear a bright colored top for a fun and chic look or do a head to toe neutral look and wear bright statement accessories instead for your pop of color.

GO UTILITARIAN – on the other hand, if you’re not in the mood for bright and bold colors today, you can always do as the New Yorkers do and create a utilitarian look. A chic parka would be nice with khaki pants in fall or winter while a gorgeous but light trench coat would pair up great with it for summer / spring.

THE CLASSIC – another look that you can do with khaki pants is the timeless classic combo of khaki and white. Choose a crisp white button up shirt to create this look and lend it a posh look and feel to it. This is a great way to wear khaki to the office without getting too casual. You can polish it even further by adding a blazer in a neutral color. If you want something more relaxed, you can go for a simple white tee instead.

Outfit Inspiration: White Pants

Summer is the perfect time for all things white which is why there is no better time to bust out your white pants than now. Some women are overwhelmed by white pants. They fear that it might get dirty throughout the day or, worse, it might make their legs look not so slim and slender. The latter is because of the common belief that dark colors help make you look slimmer while lighter colors do the opposite. However, white pants can actually be very figure flattering. Here are some tips o n how to wear white pants with slimming results.

TRY FLARED JEANS – if you’re top heavy, a pair of white flared jeans might just be what you need to balance out your figure and look a little more slender and slim. The flared out part of the jeans will help give you a more proportional silhouette while the color white gives your overall outfit cleaner lines and a more streamlined form.

SKINNY STYLE – skinny jeans are called so for a reason and that is because they’re great at making your legs look slimmer. Because of the way they fit, skinny jeans can make your legs look instantly slim – perfect for when you don’t really feel like your best self but still want to look super chic and hot. Pair it up with a figure flattering top and you’re good and ready to make heads turn.

MAKE THAT NUDE HEELS – the nude heels trick has been tried and tested to make you look taller but did you know that aside from that, this styling trick also makes you look slimmer? This is especially true when you wear it with white pants. Make sure to choose a pair of nude heels that come close to the color of your natural skin tone to get optimum results.

ALL WHITE – for a truly sophisticated outfit that’s both slimming and flattering while also being perfect for summer, go all out and do an all white look. A cute white top paired up with crisp white pants will not only make you look gorgeous but slimmer as well. Not to mention, the look is totally on trend right now.
