Have you ever been late in front of you mirror, thinking about what you have to wear and looking for the perfect outfit?
And if I meet the right boy in the elevator? The boy of my dreams? Don’t waste your time!
Do you know instead, when you have a horrible look and you meet the same boy in the elevator? What you really want in that moment is just running away through the doors.
Remember: when you have the perfect outfit you’ll never meet anyone! That’s what happened to me some years ago.
It was a terrible hot June. It was afternoon: I was walking with my dog, a big English setter, in the traffic of the centre, coming back from our vet, where we had spent the last two hours.
I had a “post-atomic” outfit made of: extra large baggy jeans, a dirty old T-hirt and very comfortable sneakers. Electrified hairs and no make up at all completed my dreadful outfit!
I was near enough to my house and I believed to be safe. I had just to disappear into the courtyard, when the right boy of my dreams, with long hairs, goatee and a big smile, was looking at me in a irresistible, mischievious way.
Surely, if I had seen me in a mirror with a so “chic” outfit and with an enormous dog that was dragging me among traffic, I would have laughed in the same way.
While I was having a panic attack, I saw my only possibility of safety: he had a dog too! A small black,long hair dog.
Surely when he went to his vet he didn’t wear an Armani jacket or Gucci loafers! He could understand the reason of my outfit.
His dog was so funny that I found the courage to smile and to reach him: my setter wanted to know his little black dog at any coast!
The result was he became my boyfriend (now ex) and our dogs bitter enemies!
My story shows that sometimes it’s completely useless wearing expansive clothes, hit bags, perfect make up and luxury shoes.
The only pretty thing I had in that moment, were my suntan and freckles on my nose. My ex boyfriend told me I had conquered him simply for this reason.
Probably if I had worn a Valentino suit with pumps, he would have never noticed me. I would have been like other girls.
He asked me if I lived in our little town, because here girls want to appear different from who they are at any coast.
I know of people who spend all their money to buy luxury cars and designer clothes but have nothing in their fridge, but if you are yourself you can be pretty even if you are wearing a “diving suit” and you can conquer the boy of your dreams!
Unless you stress!
Valentine
