Dear Fashion Girl,
My boyfriend is always late when we have a date to go out together. We've missed the first 15 minutes of every movie we've ever gone to! I'm really nervous that he's going to be late picking me up for Prom. I don't want to miss any of my Prom! How can I get him to pick me up on time?
- Unfashionably Late
Dear U.L.,
As frustrating as it is to be late all the time, the last thing you want to do is have a huge argument with your boyfriend about it, especially right before Prom! Instead try some peaceful but persistent tactics to get you and your man to Prom on time.
For starters, remind your guy that this night is very important to you and it would mean the world to you to be able to spend the entire evening with him and your friends. As the big night approaches, continue to help him get organized so he's less likely to be tardy. For example, remind him to get a haircut, order the corsage, and get fitted for his tux before the week of Prom, so that he's not scrambling to get it together on Prom night. If he has a job, make sure he remembers to request the whole day off. And if you're cool with his mom, it may not be a bad idea to let her know what time you'd like to leave so she can urge him to hurry up as he's getting ready before picking you up.
You can also arrange for your guy to pick you up 30 minutes before you actually intend to leave. So if
you're meeting your friends for dinner at 7:30, tell your guy that the meeting time is 7:00. If he shows up 15 minutes late you'll still have time to get to the restaurant. Even better, have all your friends and their dates
meet up at your house to take pictures before the dance. Again, tell your guy to be there 30 minutes sooner than everyone else. If he's a little late, you and your pals can pose for the cameras until he gets there.
Finally, if you and your boyfriend have been together for awhile, you should feel comfortable telling him how his bad habit makes you feel. Let him know that you're not trying to pick a fight, but that his tardiness really bothers you and you want to make sure it doesn't happen on Prom night. I'm sure he wants to have an amazing Prom too, so he should understand.
Good luck and have an amazing Prom! --Angel
My prom is coming up really qucikly and there was this super fab-u-less dress that I seen on the OLD promadvice website. It was a mini dress by Jessica McClintock under Frill Seeker and was the first swatch. Sadly the website was changed before I could get the style number to order the dress. If there is some possible way that you still have the style number for the dress it would make my SENIOR PROM, my last high school prom. To briefly descibe the dress it was short, and an odd color green the site had entitled it "Marine Layers". Even if this is not posted please still respond to my e-mail address. Please and Thank you.

i just get my temp student job as a receptionist in company. i heard from the human resouce department, they told me that i have to wear formal on monday to thursday, and casual on friday. But i do not want to look too old in a formal attire as i have tried it on for many times, although im just 18. And what is the causal attire for work?

i have this cousin, that day during the chinese new year, she came my house n wore this dress with a scarf over her. But when my other cousins saw what she is wearing, they gossip about her. What i found out from them is that they feel that the dress does not match her age at all. Although, she is just 18, she looks like 25 plus!
all my uncles says that she looks nice, but we cousins that near her age feel that it does not suits her and the age.
however, we does not tell her what we think as we told her once but she never change her mindset about fashion. what can we do in order to change her mindset unconsciously??

Kivicky - Congrats on your new job! Here are some ideas for your new work wardrobe:
Monday through Thursday - Trousers are always appropriate -black, brown, or grey - avoid other colors unless you see your new co-workers wearing them. Make sure the pants are not too tight and that they are properly hemmed. Trousers for women are making a huge comeback this season (lucky you!) so I'm sure you'll be able to find some. Also, stick with these same colors if you wear a skirt, and make sure the skirt hits at or just below the knee (nothing too long or short). Denim is absolutely out Monday through Thursday. You may want to pick up a blazer too (cropped is so chic!) Friday - Khakis are great for casual Fridays, and you can check with Human Resources to see if jeans are acceptable. You'll still want to stick with a nicer shirt (no tees or tanks). It's a good idea to get a look at what other people are wearing - they've been there for sometime and know exactly what works best for that environment. And of course, it's a good idea to have Human Resources give you an additional list of what's acceptable and what's not, as every office is different. What works at one office may not fly at another.
Good luck and don't forget to write back and let us know how the new job is going!
