Fashion Friday: Thrift Stores

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you an announcement….THRIFT STORES ARE SOME OF THE BEST PLACES TO SHOP!

Really though, this Fashion Friday post will be all about the thrift store. They go by all different types of names, i.e., thrift store, consignment shop, vintage store, second hand store etc. However, they are all basically the same thing: gently used clothing, shoes, jewelry furniture, etc., that people have gotten rid of for various reasons, now available at a fraction of the price. Let me break down the different types of stores. Read more »

What happens when you have no idea what the other party is thinking…

As we’ve discussed previously, transitioning from undergraduate life to adulthood can put a strain on both plutonic and romantic relationships.  The key to managing this transition is to understand what the other party is thinking.  So should you just ask?  “Since I’m really focused on starting my career, can we have a strictly sexual relationship?”

While that may be the question we want to ask, it’s not the one we actually ask.  Instead we begin to guess or assume; and we all know what happens when we assume.  Asking those complicated questions is so important that we at But Now What decided to ask them for you!  Submit the “relationship” questions keeping you up at night, we’ll pick the top five and post a survey right here on the site.

Email your questions to contact@butnowwhat.com by Wednesday June 2, 2010 and check back Thursday June 3, 2010 to see if your question was chosen and to complete the survey.  Results will be posted the following week.

Now’s your opportunity to ask those burning questions, don’t be scuurred!

BUDDY…

I remember being young and going to church camp, yes I went to church camp, it’s one of the things that went along with being a Deacon’s kid. Each summer I would go away to Camp Grow, and one of the things that they insisted on, is that we had was a buddy system. If we were going swimming we could not get in the water unless our buddy was going with us. We always did activities with our buddies, just so we had someone who could keep track of us.

Fashion Friday: Heels!

Ok, this has to be one of my favorite essentials on the Style Essentials List. In both of the previous Fashion Friday posts, I have spoken about a great accessory that take almost any outfit up to the next level. That accessory is a good pair of heels. Sorry men, this post is for the ladies as well. Every opportunity I get, I love to pull out a good pair of three to four inch platform heels and strut my stuff. They instantly straighten my posture, and make my legs look like I am an avid gym goer, even though I haven’t seen the inside of the gym in two months. Of course, I don’t wear them everyday, and I know everyone can’t and/or doesn’t want to wear four-inch heels all the time. But it’s very important that every young woman have one good pair of COMFORTABLE (yes, it’s possible!) heels that she can throw on to go to work and out on the town. But then again who can stop at just one pair?
