Every girl that has ever been or is in a relationship knows what this is about. Even the boys know it. We start a new relationship and the guy asks us not to wear heels because we are going to be taller them him. Not to wear that mini skirt because too much leg is showing. Eventually you give in and even stop dressing like yourself just because you don’t want to start a fight. Either you are in a relationship where the other person respects and accepts what you wear/do/say or you are in a wrong relationship. It’s not because you are with someone that you have to stop being yourself but rather being with someone that brings out the best of what you already have. Let’s see what the five style commandments for the girl in a relationship are and stick to them religiously.
Our lingerie was not bought to see the inside of our drawers. We will still wear it, not only for special occasions, but to make ourselves feel good, powerful and sexy.
We will not stop wearing heels to accommodate our boyfriend/husband’s height. They will just have to deal with it the way we do.
We will not change our style. Couples have a tendency to get comfortable and stop trying that hard to please each other. Your personal style has details that captivated his attention in the first place, so keep those in hand on a daily basis.
If you are living with him and sharing expenses, sharing your clothes and accessories expenses should not be a tabu subject. You have to talk about it openly because it can affect different issues and what it entails when sharing a life with someone. Either you can spend a slight amount a month or you can’t – but one way or the other, you have to be open about it.
We will have to refrain from changing each other’s style. If you don’t like for him to tell you what you should and should not wear, don’t do the same. Of course he likes to wear those jungle shorts with flip flops during summer but being with someone means respecting what they wear/do – with a hint here and there.
