Axioms of Beauty and Fashion

"Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes."
Henry David Thoreau


Please fear for me and pray for me if you are of a religious bent. I am going to a Ladies Charity luncheon this Sunday and am contemplating what to wear. (I haven't worn anything but jeans, tshirts, and sneakers for like, oh, 6 months.) This upcoming event inspires me to share my Axioms or Truths of Beauty and Fashion.

The bigger your hurry, the bigger the sneeze will be that messes up your mascara.

The bigger the occasion, the greater the likelihood you will get the biggest zit of your life.

The cuter the jeans make your butt look; the more quickly they will be discontinued by the manufacturer. The shoe corollary to this truth is, the more comfortable the sneaker, the more quickly it will be discontinued.

The prettier the dress in your perfect style and color, the higher the likelihood is, that the store won’t have your size.

The sexier the dress, the more uncomfortable are the undergarments required for wearing it. The shoe corollary to this truth is; the sexier the shoes, the more uncomfortable they are.

Any others I missed or forgot in my fashion ignorance? Many thanks!

Fashion before comfort babe... right?

Who cares what you feel like... so long as you look stunning...

The more expensive the nylons, the quicker they run. When you spend $20 a pair, they will run before you get them out of the package.

The more expensive the outfit, the quicker the waiter will dump an entire meal on your lap. . .

Very cute. Made me laugh. Especially the jeans one. I found an awesome pair of jeans and the next time I went to buy a pair they changed the style, especially in the hips.

Ah yes...fashion- what's that? I, too, have a very limited (although somewhat seasonally appropriate) wardrobe, so if you have more than two business meetings with me you will be sujected to a ....repeat outfit!

I think you pretty much summed it up! But, I don't care how painful a shoe is, if it is adorable, I will buy it and suffer through it! Hope that perfect outfil falls in your lap.

Congrats on the iron commenter. That is impressive!
