Pitfalls of Casual Friday
by: Mary Arnold
Imagine this: You walk into a prominent, international business office, up to the receptionist's desk - and you see she's wearing flip-flops and blue jeans with holes in them. How do you react to this? I bet your opinion of that business just dropped quite a few notches, right?
Do you think this is an extreme example of some people's taking Casual Friday too far? Do you think it would never happen in your office?
My husband didn't think so - until it did happen in the office of his place of employment, an international, very prosperous company.
He's told me several stories of the inappropriate attire the receptionist has worn to work on Casual Friday over the years such as the aforementioned flip-flops and ripped blue jeans. Also she's shown up wearing a feather boa, tight T-shirts, shorts (during the summer), and miniskirts, among other unacceptable items of clothing.
And it's not just his workplace. I've seen many other examples of this type of dress in other places of business. I admit I may be too old-fashioned, but it seems very wrong to me when I am much more better dressed than the receptionist working in the office I'm bringing my business to. I don't care if it is Casual Friday; if the receptionist looks like she just rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was laying on the floor, that business just lost a customer in me. Right or wrong, it is indisputable that how a person dresses will affect another person's opinion of that person, and in this case, the company also.
The receptionist is the first person one sees when entering a business office; she is the image of the business. It doesn't matter in the least what all the other company workers wear on Casual Friday. The receptionist, as the spokesperson for the company, should always be appropriately dressed and well-groomed.
I'm not saying she must always wear a matching jacket and skirt, but I do believe she should never wear anything more casual than what she'd wear to church. In other words, a non-revealing dress or slacks with a dress shirt.
And, please, don't forget the pantyhose, and leave your sneakers in the closet.

Oh no!
You?re having a jeans crisis and can?t decide on which perfect pair to buy!
Don?t despair!
Help is on the way.
No matter if you are plus size, petite, tall or average, it?s difficult to find the perfect pair of jeans, so we could also use a few tips.
It?s not always easy finding the right pair of jeans.
There are just too many styles to choose from.
By keeping some of these tips in mind you can find that perfect pair of jeans.
Some useful hints include:
? Before deciding on which pair of jeans to wear, it?s imperative to choose the type of shoes you?ll be sporting.
This is because the heel normally will determine how the jean will fall or lay to the ground.
? Also remember that most jeans are not pre-shrunk when you purchase them.
So make sure you allow for a bit of shrinkage.

Six Days Left!
by: Arthur Buchanan
What would you do if you knew you only had six days left to live? You may think that is wired, but don?t you think that some things you will find more important than others? I am sure you would? Would you drink yourself to death literally, drink for six days straight just getting drunk all the time, forgetting your loved ones and letting your last days be a stupor. I think not!
I bet you would spend all the time in the world with your family, friends and anyone who you consider worthy of your last days on this earth. So the next time your child gets a whole in his jeans and you are ready to yell at him or her, remember six days left you might want to bend down and hug him and tell him there will be more jeans to be bought and it could have happened to anyone.
Your wife forgets to get you a pack of cigarettes and you go ballistic and start to yell at her and you don?t talk for two days. Guess what you...

The Feel Good Factor in Womens Shoes
The Feel Good Factor in Womens Shoes
by: Shelley Costello
For some its jewellery, for others its clothes, jeans, handbags and so on but there is definitely something about womens shoes.
Shoes can be traced back well before Christ and in ancient Egypt, shoes were considered a status symbol.
Fashion critic, Holly Brubach wrote ?a pair of new shoes might not cure a broken heart or soothe a tension headache but they will relieve the symptoms and chase away the blues?.
Over time, shoes have evolved.
Each year sees a new trend whether it?s in heel style, materials and textures or overall design.
Within each trend we see a reinvention of a fashion seen decades ago.
Platforms born in the seventies return with a more ?eco? style with hemp and cork soles.
Styles from each decade have returned, sometimes more than once but each time with an added twist to the style and design.
