That 10/10 stylish friend

that girl in your friend group that always shows up to the event looking like a 10 out of 10 and you got to ask her what she's about to wear because you don't want to show up to the event looking like the ugly friend. Yeah, that one. She might be more stylish, but that's not the whole story. She does a bunch of things differently when nobody's watching. Here's what they are. First, she doesn't ask what everybody's wearing when she gets ready. She just assumes everybody's gonna come looking fly and doesn't need to float the idea by everybody else. She decides what energy she's gonna be on and stands ten toes down on it. Second, she analyzes the event before she picks her outfit. She's not just asking, what am I gonna wear that's cute? She's thinking about the venue, the lighting, the humidity, how much walking versus sitting, how dressed up the room's gonna feel. And who all gonna be there. Third, she understands the whole picture and how she wants to show up in it is what she does best. She's already tested the outfit. She's already experimented with that weird asymmetrical skirt, whether it was at her house, running errands or on a date with somebody she doesn't really care to impress. Well, best believe when you see her in it, this wasn't the first time and her outfit wasn't a complete guess. If it is, that's her secret. Four, she knows exactly what pieces rescue her outfits in a jam. She's got the basics, the statements and the investment pieces that she can swap in and out so she can level up any outfit that's about to flop before she walks out the door. And five, she treats her grooming as part of the styling. It's not a bust down and beat face every single day, but she understands that her makeup, her hair, her nails, her fragrance, all those choices contribute to the energy of the look. That stylish friend doesn't just wake up like this. She's doing a little behind the scenes. Tag a friend who does this in the comments. And if it's you, go ahead and identify yourself, babe.
