"VainPotedness" :P
-
You did'nt quite answer the question leh... I dunch think anyone would go to a formal event in shorts! Harlow! You sound very boastful of yourself and you're prolly one of those who think highly of yourself while others are low-class.
-
My own opinion:
Dress up to look better than appropriate and dress up for occasions are different things. Its not whether you wear shorts or slippers to formal events. Its more like how you dress and present yourself to others. In this case, i believe "vainpotedness' meaning presenting oneself to others, by looking better, which involves the fine selections of clothes and accesories, if necessary. Do you wear shorts to a restaurant? Do hawker centres have rules saying that you can't eat there because you're in a suit and tie? Imagine this scenario, you have some feelings for this girl and there's a group outing and she would be going. How would you dress? More to the occasion or more to present yourself better?
I don't see how RainbowPrincess "thinks very highly of herself". Can you list some examples? I mean i've read other threads in AA and she seems to help almost everyone who post some problems there. And not just mere giving a few words of concern, they seem to go through a lot of thinking processes. Does this seem to you that she treats others at a lower-class? Not to me at least.
No offence to you . Just my own opinions.

As long as the dressing is appropiate for that day, is ok with me

matching earrings? that's something new! haha...Originally posted by RainbowPrincess:That's nice of ur bf : ) 1 of my exes was like tt, but I told him I cldn't change, cosh tt's how I was brot up. As long as I wasn't overdressed, then it's acceptable...
For my guy now, sometimes we match each other
NOT the tacky matching lovey-dovey tees, but sometimes we match our earrings (yah, he has pierced ears ).
RP
but why not try matching lovey dovey tees too?
will be cute... -
i agree tat dressing up is a way of showing love for your partner.. its like you want them to c the best of you hehe
-
RP, same as me. I think we are all influenced by our family in some way or the other. My grandma was also very vain. She used to have her hair done in 'waves' Hhheeh.. cos she said straight hair is very ugly. But i didn't have a granddad so she dressed up for herself. The women in my family were always financially independent, that's why I get very depressed if I'm unemployed -> have to wear the suits somewhere!Originally posted by RainbowPrincess:Eh really leh, I mean it It all started wif my granny, who took care of herself & looked nice for Granddad. She din overdress, but she made sure she took care of her appearance, for e.g. she wld NEVER dream of wearing shorts to a formal event (okie, I noe this is a stupid e.g. *laffs*).
Congrats on ur interview!!! : ) And do keep me updated on the jewellery, I haf frens here who like beaded thgs : )

My frens & I always sez'd there're 2 types of girls
1 type is more Vainpot when single to attract the guys. After getting the guys, they sorta lose steam
The 2nd type may or may Not be Vainpot when single, but once attached, they definitely grow more Vainpot
Then of cosh, there're women I admire like Lingos, special breed of girl : )

Ur family has a gd mentality, to be financially independent is a gd thg for a woman : ) I kinda like earning my own $ too : )

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH
She's a teen, Lingos, & teens do like this kinda thg. I remember seeing teen couples wearing matching tees walking ard in SG
But if my guy was to haf a matching girly bag, matching girly sunnies, & if he starts matching my sleepwear, I'll freak out majorOriginally posted by Lingos:There is nothing cute at all! I don't think my boyfriend looks good with my Gucci bags, so he can leave my tight tshirts alone. Thank you! -
Hmm.. then you'd better leave those padded and silicone pad bras at home. Cos when it comes off one day.. and it will.. he'll be like. HAR? Is that it? Heheh.. sniggles.. Sorry i can't help it!Originally posted by _attitude_:i agree tat dressing up is a way of showing love for your partner.. its like you want them to c the best of you hehe -
Padded bras r v. uncomfy leh
Speaking of which, this was a tale related to me by my ex-colleague
She was wif her fren & her fren's fiance in some kinda jacuzzi. The fren was wearing pads in her bikini/swimsuit (can't remember exactly, it's been too long) & they were happily relaxing when suddenly, her fren's fiance pointed @ 2 thgs floating in the water & asked, "Wat's tt?"
Yep, u guessed it, the silicon pads the fren was wearing had somehow been dislodged She was so embarrassed, but both the girls pretended they had No idea wat those 2 thgs were

Oh my god! I'm trying so hard not to burst out laughing.
How sad!! Yeah padded bras are so eeekk.. All the girls here make fun of me. Eh Ling, why bother wearing a bra, you've got nothing. I'm like.. shut up you big boob b*tch. Don't forget Kate Moss (ok, now she has some bumps), Kate Hudson (pre pregnancy) and Gynie! -
Yah, I was laffing like mad when I was told this story So let this serve as a warning to girls who wanna use silicon pads
Small tits can be nice wat It looks proportionate on a slim bod wat

That sounds like me rather than RP. Are you refering to me or what? I'm tired of people here condemning me cos i have so called expensive taste. So what if i do.. i don't care as long as i can afford it.Originally posted by :You did'nt quite answer the question leh... I dunch think anyone would go to a formal event in shorts! Harlow!

Anyway, i'm sure Paris Hilton the skanky ho' has worn shorts to a formal event more than once. And i'm sure they were Dolce & Gabbana or Versace. heheh.. tacky. -
Then there are those who are dykes and love dressing up for other women. HEhehe.. sniggles.Originally posted by RainbowPrincess:Yah lorr

Grandma and Mum used to insist on ironing jeans and TSHIRTS! Cos they said if you wear crumpled clothes, 'sia suay' yourself. -

Nuthin much. Just wanted some clarification.

HAHAHah.. no ah, guys never dare say that. They just laugh and laugh that i'm flat. Usually it's girls at work. Hehehe.. they just like stirring me. If a guy said that, i'd probably deck them and run them over in my car.Originally posted by Yunhaier:Remember if a guy tells you that...
