Eyes Up Here

[disalarming]

I woke up this morning and thought, “I’m going to make an effort with my appearance today.” Because I am either working or interning any given day of the week, I generally look presentable on most days, but today I needed the ego boost that comes with putting actual effort into a cute outfit. I’ve come a long way from my high school years, where I practically lived in hoodies for the entire winter season!

I ended up wearing my black and white plaid shirt, black tank top, skinny jeans, and dark brown flat suede boots (not pictured). My hair cooperated with me and looked awesome when I pulled it back, I wore my favorite necklace and earrings, and my eye makeup looked great. You know how when you feel like you look great you look even better than you think you do because you have that inner confidence? And you just know that you’re going to have a good day because you feel fantastic? Yeah, I definitely had that feeling.

When I strolled into my first class, I said hi to one of my guy friends, as is our custom. What is not part of our custom, however, is him needing to be reminded that when replying to a girl he should keep his eyes up and look at her face! It’s kind of obvious if a guy is fixating on a girl’s chest when talking to her because he doesn’t meet her eyes. Besides, it’s not like my outfit was super slutty or revealing, so I was a little taken aback. Not necessarily in a good/bad way. Just surprised, I guess, as I’ve never noticed that happening to me before.
