This week’s question is about how you can help transform the person you’re dating’s appearance – in a way that’s not too harsh!!
Miss Shop-A-Holic’s Question: How do you tell the person that you are dating that they need a makeover?
Angelique’s Answer: I think this all depends how much of a makeover you are talking about. I think when you are entering into a relationship it is important that the two of you have common interests and similarities, especially if you are looking for something long term. A lot of times as females we try to “change” or “makeover” the person that we are with and I honestly don’t feel like that is fair to them or you. If we are talking about small changes, like change of dress or style (we have all been there!) then that’s a little different. When you are out shopping pick them up a little something. A hat here, shirt there, don’t overwhelm them all at once, but baby steps. Then for one of the big celebratory days (ex. Christmas, Birthday) buy them a full outfit or two. After a while it will start adding up. If they are actually into shopping, go with them and help them pick out a couple of things. Tell your significant other that you are really into fashion and you would love to see them in some things. Never put them down or make fun of their current style, instead approach them in a more positive way showing them things that you would love to see them in. Good luck!
