How To Dress For Sugar Success
• Learn how to balance textures in your outfits. Here’s a cheat-sheet: if you’re wearing a silk blouse, wear a heavier fabric like wool, leather or crepe on the bottom. Likewise, if you’re wearing a thicker fabric on top like wool, wear a thinner fabric, like jersey or silk, on the bottom. • Pay attention to the little things. I like to make sure that the leather of my shoes, bag and belt are all the same shade (e.g. tan or black) and that the metals of my jewellery, the hardware on my bag and belt and the buttons on my jacket are all the same tone (e.g. all rose gold or all silver). He might not notice explicitly but he’ll subconsciously reflect on how put-together you are. • Buy in neutral colours. White, black, grey, beige, navy, Carolina blue – the simpler your colour palette, the easier and quicker it is to put together items that coordinate well with each other. • Build a capsule wardrobe. Save up and select a few key pieces that you can mix and match. It’s better to have a smaller wardrobe with quality items than a vast wardrobe that falls apart after a few washes. • Look on Ebay. Don’t be afraid to buy secondhand designer clothes but avoid trendy ‘It’ items from previous that will make you look dated. • Buy classic pieces and timeless silhouettes: pencils skirts, turtlenecks, etc. A classic cut in a solid shade will bring attention to the craftsmanship of the garment. • Get it in black. Especially when you’re buying from ‘affordable’ stores; it’s harder to see detail on black clothing which will help hide poor craftsmanship.
• Emphasise one attribute at a time, except on special occasions. For example, if you’re planning on showing off your cleavage, consider looking for a knee-length dress that shows off your bust. • Experiment with cuts until you find what is most flattering for you. Do you look best in tapered pants or straight leg? Pencil skirts or A-line? Know the difference between these cuts. • If your dress is knee-length, heels are no longer optional. • Consider investing in a garment steamer. Particularly if you can’t afford to have items dry cleaned regularly or you’re too lazy to drop things off at the drycleaner and pick them up. • When you can afford it, have your clothing tailored to you. I guarantee that nothing will make you look as expensive as a wardrobe of carefully tailored jeans, blouses, skirts and dresses. I would tailor my underwear if I could. • Become a tactile shopper. Feel things, touch, assess the breathability of the fabric. Look at the material listed on the garment you’re buying and try to buy natural fabrics more often than not – merino wool, cashmere, silk, 100% cotton jeans and Ts. This will make a world of difference. • For special occasions, wear red. The colour red has been scientifically proven to increase the appetite and make the heart beat faster. You will stand out. • Be properly fitted for your bras and underwear. • Invest in your underwear. Think La Perla, not Victoria’s Secret. You should have: a number of sets of lingerie (complete with suspenders, tights, corsets, etc.); a few negligees for the bedroom; a silk robe; a few teddies; a few sets of good quality T-shirt bras (one for each day of the week, at least) with matching underwear; and a few pairs of good quality seamless panties. You might also want to consider nipple covers (for strapless dresses) and the like. Your SD might not mind purchasing any of this for you – after all, you could be modeling it all for him later. • Accessories are key. Spend money on your bags and handbags; keep them maintained, cleaned and polished. If your jewellery needs re-plating, have it re-plated and make sure it is polished and shiny. Don’t wear branded jewellery but pick items that demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship and are clearly expensive. And let me say this – if your SD ever takes you to a horse racing event: ✓ to a fascinator with a veil, ✗ to wearing stilettos on the grass. • Get a lint roller. Use it. You might also want to purchase waterproofing spray and Static Guard. • Understand which colours suit gold jewellery and which suit silver. Warm colours, like red and burgundy, suit gold best. Likewise, cool colours like blue and grey, suit silver best. • You’re in charge – don’t be afraid to dress like the boss. Men are visual creatures so feel free to let your attire drive home the impression that a) you are a hustler, first and foremost and b) you don’t need him. I work in a corporate environment so for coffee/lunch dates I’ll meet a POT or SD wearing a dressier version of my usual work attire – figure-hugging knee-length dress or skirt suit with take-no-shit pumps and a structured designer handbag. BONUS: This will make negotiating your allowance easier because you have an equal platform to work from - it’s not a one-sided negotiation where you’re wearing a mini skirt and he’s wearing a three-piece suit. • Research the location thoroughly beforehand. Dress for the venue, environment and atmosphere. ✩✩✩+ restaurants usually have a dress code, which you should look into beforehand. Likewise, you shouldn’t show up to a ✩✩ restaurant wearing a Tom Ford dress and Louboutins. Are you going to a fine dining restaurant? A trendy new restaurant? These are all factors that will affect your attire. You want your SD to know that you are a companion suitable to any and all environments; he should always feel like he is dining with the most beautiful, elegant woman in the room. • Buy a good wool coat. I live in a cold climate so I spend a good portion of my day in a coat; a good wool coat is warm but stylish. Try a cocoon or kimono cut from brands like Scanlan Theodore or Lover – you’ll look modern and stylish while remaining deliciously warm.
• Don’t be afraid to break the rules.

Advice for the signs
Aries: Take a step back and think. You are wonderful just the way you are, why do you have to be mean to others just to compensate for your lack of self-esteem? You care so much, I know that. But you have to let the others know as well. You don't need to prover yourself to anyone. You're a hidden gem, aries and let someone find you instead of wrecking the surprise for them. You are loved and you know exactly how to have fun so keep reminding yourself that you are worthy of the adventure your life has to offer.
Taurus: Get out of your comfort zone and stop caring about what people think. I know that you're the best at giving advice but I think it's about time that someone takes care of you. You are not those stereotypes people try to label you with. You are candid. Don't forget your dreams and keep focusing on how to get there. Be social, let yourself be loved and remember that you can always learn from anyone. You're not alone and people can understand, if you let them in. Take in the sun, try something new and keep in mind the fact that you can live through anything. You represent grace. You are going to be okay.
Gemini: You have so many interesting things to say and don't let anyone ever shush you. You are a deep thinker, an innovator. Gemini, I know your mind is on overdrive but take a moment to slow down, on your terms. But after that, do as much as you can because you are capable of so much. Be sure of your opinions (stick to them!) and keep looking forward, you moment will come too. Discover yourself, your surroundings and let yourself be immune to all that is superficial. We all know you are authentic so why keep up the mask? We'll love you anyway and perhaps even more. You are going to be okay.
Cancer: You spread your love so much that at the end of the day, you have none left for yourself. So, when you're down, let yourself be nurtured as much you would nurture someone else. Your voice may be soft but every word has so much meaning. You are so kind, genuinely thoughtful and you are so rare. Keep your purity, don't let corruptions soak in your veins or crawl on your skin. Sometimes, it can be good just to stop caring and to live at the moment. The world's problems are not your responsibility. You are free. Always. You are going to be okay.
Leo: Keep being yourself, I like that. But remember, people's opinion about you does not impact your self-worth. You are special and you are whole just by yourself. It's okay to lose your cool sometimes and become humble and silly, it will feel refreshing I promise. You are so brave and one of kind. Keep standing up for what you believe in and never let anyone extinguish your fire. Go get what you want and keep fierce. You are going to be okay.
Virgo: You are so on top of everything and I admire you for that. I know that things are overwhelming right now but you have to realize that you are powerless to somethings. Live and let live. You are so talented, unique, sensitive, intellectual and grounded, why are you so hard on yourself? You are your very own prized position. Be proud of yourself and keep working hard, it's going to bring you places. Keep being kind and considerate. The fear you feel is only in your head and you hold power over it. You are going to be okay.
Libra: I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful you are, so stop trying to please so hard! The people who are truly good for you are the ones you will not compromise yourself for. You are aloud to be unhappy with something and voice your opinion about it. Discover your talents and expose them to the world. Sing, dance, laugh and don't let anyone rain on your parade. You are more than meets the eye libra. You are a force to be reckoned with. You are going to be okay.
Scorpio: Oh boy, there are so many things I want to tell you. I'll start by saying that people care about you as much as you care about them so stop pushing them away. When you're in the dark, let your hand be held. You know you are different but you forget that it's a good thing. You are so loyal but don't be with your demons. You are not who has hurt you so shake that thought out of your head. I love how you are able to strive even when your heart is shattered. Remember what your priorities are and make sure to include yourself. You are going to be okay.
Sagittarius: The world is your oyster so never limit yourself to only what is known. Be daring, keep being honest and don't let yourself taken over by things that are simply not worth your time. Be patient and the good things will come. Cherish your freedom and keep that laugh of yours just as loud. Remember your one liners and how many faces you have made smile. Do whatever you want your heart desires and stay candid. You are going to be okay.
Capricorn: You have so many plans and you know exactly how to make them happen. No matter what your achievements are, you will always be successful. Take a minute to look at the beautiful world around you. Show them they were wrong! You are so much more than what they tell you to be. Keep asking questions, competing but keep your mind open. You know that you have an emotional side to yourself and you will feel at piece once you acknowledge it. You are devoted but let someone but just as kind towards you. You are going to be okay.
Aquarius: Keep being weird and not caring about the differences that set you apart from the rest. Your brain holds so much knowledge and wisdom, don't let your pride get in the way of it. You can revolutionize, change the world, modify the norms. You are so peculiar and I know that it's hard to have your interest but I can promise you that if you look at everything without a filter, you will feel at peace. Be the exception to everything. You will be okay.
Pisces: Always follow your gut. Your thoughts speak nothing but the truths so never put them aside. You are so special already, you don't need to change to fit it. You naturally do. You are an old soul, the one who got away, the one who will take you home. Don't let yourself get taken avantage of, trust yourself and never stop dreaming. Keep doodling and listening. Remember how strong you are, that behind that sweetness hides a layer of tar that you need to discover on your own. You are multi-dimensional. You are going to be okay.
People are in such a rush to fall in love. We base our relationships off a physical connection rather than an emotional one. We force ourselves to like someone so we won’t be alone. We settle for those that don’t quite satisfy our wants and needs. Stop looking for love, let it find you. The best things in life are worth waiting for and love is definitely one of them. Sometimes it happens over night and sometimes it takes years but you have to have patience. Learn to love yourself so that you don’t feel like you need to be loved by someone else in order to feel complete.

I feel that the higher your intelligence is...
The harder it is to sleep. The less REAL friends you will have. The easier it is to see through everyone’s bullshit. The more likely you are going to be annoyed by people. The more you value being alone. The harder it is to deal with the worlds ignorance.
Squad. We out.
