How to choose the right dress for you and your partner After I read that there is a whole collection of clothing in my wardrobe, I thought it was time to give you all a glimpse into some of the clothes I have been wearing in recent months. Every week I put together a list of ten fashion items I would love to try out and one of them has got the most compliments (the outfit pictured above) since then. One of the hardest parts of a relationship is choosing the right pair of jeans, and since it is easier said than done, I’ve decided to break down the common mistakes many couples make when choosing clothes. Below are the top 10 mistakes couples fall into. 1) Being too picky When buying a new shirt or jacket, don’t be afraid to spend a little more time on research. When you find something that you think will work but isn’t exactly perfect, take it to a certain length and see how they feel. After every test run, make sure that it fits you, especially if you have sensitive skin. If you aren’t comfortable with it and it doesn’t fit your style, it isn’t worth buying. 2) Not knowing what goes really well with her When you get married, or have just begun dating, it can seem like everything looks great at first. However, there are times where things don’t quite go as planned, or don’t quite click as much as you’d hoped. It can be difficult to stay on-track when everything seems so good. But if you let these occasional mishaps stop you from looking forward to your day to day, you’re setting yourself up for failure. While it might not seem like it, things won’t come together smoothly. You’ll definitely bump into problems along the way. This allows you to realize that everything should always be put into action. So before you buy a secondhand bag, think about whether or not you’d want it to be used as an everyday item, or if you’d prefer it to be worn over your wedding attire. 3) Losing enthusiasm quickly When it comes to finding a dress, there are lots of trends and styles to look at. And since there will be plenty of outfits to wear throughout your life, it can be hard to settle in on which ones actually tick the boxes on your checklist. In such cases, it’s best to stick to only buying the pieces you’ve tried on and maybe try others. You’re less likely to regret your choice after you’ve tried it on. Or even better, you have two better options after trying them on that can still help keep you interested. The last thing you need is to give up on a particular trend because it didn’t click with you. 4) Not wearing a scarf or mask I know you’re probably thinking, “Isn’t it supposed to protect me?” Well, yes, but sometimes it’s nice to wear a facial covering or scarf, especially when it’s cold outside. Just because its warmth makes it possible to wear masks, doesn’t mean it must match your face. Also, if you live in a place where you have to wear a mask or a scarf around the clock, don’t wear them all at once. Keep your face covered up and let some air in. Also, don’t forget to wash off any dirt off your hands and avoid touching your face when you’re applying makeup and other items. Be sure to do this before you begin wearing those accessories. 5) Don’t giving a date in advance When you are dating, it is easy to start getting excited about getting engaged. All you really need to do is share some photos and say, “Will you marry me in three days?” But there are times when you need to consider how long it’s going to take for your love interest to propose to you. There might not be a ring on your finger yet, and it could feel very awkward to ask your partner to save their engagement ring. On the same note, there is no point waiting for someone to propose because by the time they do, it most likely won’t matter. Once you know what’s going on in regards to your boyfriend, start planning around what to do. Ask someone who knows something about the area you’re visiting what time you’re expecting to arrive, and maybe plan out some activities that your partner wants to do. If they can make arrangements for you beforehand, it doesn’t hurt to do that. 6) Wearing heels I can’t tell you how many times my partner has told me he loves wearing heels. She can’t wait to step off the bus or train, she couldn’t wait to get home. Unfortunately, wearing heels can have downsides as well. They make walking a bit worse because it involves changing places. Most importantly, they can hinder the progression of your foot. So before you buy heels, think about whether or not you actually need it or if you’d rather have different ones. If you’d prefer to wear heels, make sure that they have a high heel. 7) Forget to change his tie As you get older, your partner will occasionally wear ties. Even though they may work for years, one of the biggest changes during your relationships is that they usually switch to matching you. However, the truth is that sometimes your partner finds it weird to tie backpacks. Therefore, it’s great to give them some guidance. However, it can also make them feel awkward to change ties. If you think your partner would want to get rid of ties, leave away the knots for now and see what happens later on.

Having a beautiful face is important in order for your partner to know that they can rely on you to look good, even when you’re not feeling all that great. As much as you enjoy wearing a pretty appearance, you shouldn’t use lipstick and bronzer more often than needed. Try to use foundation after each application in order for it to maintain it as well. 9) Buying something you’re not comfortable in When it comes to dressing for your partner, it can be tricky to figure out what types of outfits you can wear. Some of us are naturally more of a visual learner, so it’s okay to experiment. However, you should only buy products from brands you’re happy using. Since some of us tend to pick patterns and prints that we find pleasant to wear around our partner, it’s advisable to buy a variety. Also, remember to think about what looks good with him and choose something that’s comfortable to wear. If you have children and you want them to have a few dresses for each season, try researching them on Pinterest and YouTube for ideas. 10) Over-compensating for the wrong thing I’m guilty of falling into this. Maybe I looked cute at a concert or a festival of some sort. But I’m definitely not doing that here. If you find yourself dressed up and looking good while doing so, then you should think about dropping the jewelry all together. Instead of throwing expensive watches or rings onto the floor, give them to your partner as a gift so they know you appreciate them. Thank you for reading! My hope is that by having these pointers, you’ll be able to create a fun wardrobe for your partner. Good luck spending some time looking forward to catching up with your husband next month.
