Classy and to the Point

Now every woman knows that it is a necessity to have a little black dress, but everyone seems to forget about the little black shoe. The pointy toe stiletto pump is definitely a classic, but it seems to be popping up everywhere this Fall 2012 season. Celebrities from Victoria Beckham to Jennifer Lopez, and of course Kim Kardashian (it seems to be one of her favorite looks).

Fall is coming very soon, so be sure to equip your wardrobe with this must have shoe. You can dress it up, or dress it down. Throw on the heels with a pair of jeans or even if you're rocking colorful pants. Dress pants of course are another great option because the pointed toe elongates the leg even more plus it makes you come across more confident. You cannot forget to pair these shoes with a pencil skirt, which is one of my personal favorite ways to wear them.*

Also, if you want to spice up your outfit try this classic heel in various colors. I do not, however, feel as though a highlighter color is the way to go. In this style of shoe it is going to send you back to 80's and it also can go from chic to cheap very quickly. After writing this article I am realizing I need to replace my own black pointy stilettos... anyone want to join?

Please, Don't be a Tease

Here's the thing, in college "being a tease" seems to be a topic that a lot of my friends are discussing. Many are guilty of being a tease, but some do not see the issue with being one. There are different points of view when discussing whether or not being a tease is a good or bad thing.

The reality is that being a tease is a dangerous role to play. Many women believe since they are not 'giving away everything'  that men will want them more. Okay, self-proclaimed teasers, that is not true. You are not only putting yourself in a sketchy situation that can easily turn out to be dangerous, but you also give off the wrong impression to other potential dates by coming across a bit trashy and definitely not "wifey" material.

If you want a serious relationship then do not give anything away in the beginning besides a few smooches. Once the relationship is monogamous and you both consider it to be a serious relationship then it is appropriate to engage in whatever you feel comfortable with doing. By following that guideline you will not only be respected more, but also the you will prevent unnecessary heartbreak if the relationship ends sooner than you had thought it would.  In my personal opinion, I believe that being in love is the main factor you should base the decision on, but in the world we all engage in today I know many people disagree with that thought.

The woman who does not give it all away too fast keeps the man intrigued and interested, for the right reasons.
