Sexy clothes at work, pros and cons

Sexy clothes attract an attention. Aren't they made for this? If you walk in your workplace in miniskirt and bold décolleté blouse, you will definitely be in the center of attention. Most of people like to hear compliments and revealing cleavage can surely bring you praises but sometimes you can put yourself in ambiguous position by dressing up provocatively. However you should know your rights: no matter how you dress, it's not a reason for sexual harassment. It's important to take care of your appearance, especially if you need to communicate with customers a lot. While you are at work, you should represent the ideas of your working place, not your own standpoint.

However we are not machines and we want to be individual. No company forbids sexual clothes as long as your appearance doesn't disturb your co-workers and customers. You can express your sexuality without wearing provocative clothing. Subtle accessories and outfit that highlights advantages of your figure can gain you more compliments than unfastened shirt or spike heels. As long as you keep you style balanced between too much and too boring, you will be successful.

Of course you shouldn't be judged by you dress style, but it's not how it works in the real world. According to several surveys, if people don't dress properly for job, others assume that they don't take their responsibilities seriously. These results might be a little overstated, but there is other common opinion among office workers. If one dresses too provocatively, it can be a sign that he or she is looking for someone to date. And this behavior is often considered improper for business environment. Even though a girl or boy who dresses and acts sexy is often considered to be promoted easily, the real life shows that it's the other way around. If you don't look like you are professional, people won't take you as a professional. You might be the most beautiful person...

Extensions Please?

Extensions Please?

I love this phrase, especially since I desperately rely on it when I’m attempting (but often fail) to act as if I have writer’s block with my English professors or when I’m purposely running behind on interviews for my articles due the next day for the school newspaper.

But this time around it has nothing to do with my college career or my professional skills at procrastination. Instead it’s about my actual appearance. While many might think of hair extensions, I’m actually implying eyelash extensions.

One thing many Asian girls can relate to is that we either have ridiculously thin and or short eyelashes. I know I do and mine in fact slant down instead of curling up. Eyelash curlers? Been there, done that – all just to pinch the skin around my eye and be a grouch the rest of the day.

Mascara never seems to work for me either. I’m not sure whether it’s my absolute clumsiness or the fact that lashes really can’t extend twice as much like the commercials say. Maybe it’s both, but I’ve almost come to the point where I give up.

So for a long time, I thought glamorous eyelashes are just something I won’t be able to attain. Ever. However, an article written by Jan Masters, a wonderful fashion/beauty writer for Vogue Nippon, raised my hopes. She mentioned her recent love with her new long lashes which she got extended at a beauty salon.

For those who aren’t familiar with extensions, they’re basically fake lashes that licensed professionals glue onto your real lashes so they fall out at the same time your real ones do. Unlike the do-it-yourself extensions, these actually look real and make your lashes feel thicker, longer and naturally fuller.

I didn’t think much of these lashes at the time, especially since I wasn’t willing to afford something that sounded so very pricey for a teenager. But it got me thinking that by enhancing my lashes for a few hundred dollars would be worth so much more than spending mornings vigorously trying to apply mascara (which always seem to clump together anyway) and all the frustration I get on why my adamant lashes won’t curl.

So what do you think? Have you ever gotten extensions? I’m still looking for other ways to make my eyelashes somewhat more stylish, so if you have any suggestions, please tell me. It always helps to have others advice.

Hair Extensions. Hairstyles Means.

What health risks can we face applying these must-haves?

If hair extensions are put in for the first time they are usually quite tight and they can be quite painful for the first few days.

If your scalp is numb, then sleeping on about two hundreds little lumps on your head may be ok - but you could be unlucky.

Daily hairdressing combined with hair being pulled around as you sleep on your pillow, can make it to come out.

When the hair is wet, its weight increases, and if hair is coloured it is even more absorbent. That contributes to greater pressure on the hair follicles. So, if you do notice hair loss from your extensions, get them removed immediately. Your hair can re-grow, but it doesn’t always and if it’s pulled out repeatedly it will stop growing.

Here are some specific tips to help you care for your extensions:

• Use a special brush (often a loop brush) made just for extensions, so you don't damage the new hair or the bond.


• Human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, but more gently.


• A gentle shampoo is recommended, and use cool water to help minimize tangles.


• Sleep with your hair in a ponytail or braid to avoid bed-head and knots.


• A light conditioner will help reduce tangling and keep your new hair supple.
