2. Don't you hate it when people keep on suggesting you to wear something against your wishes?

If I want to wear shorts (not short shorts, it’s NEVER my thing to wear skimpy bottoms) to school, one would berate me by remarking, “Don’t wear those shorts, you’ll look like a whore.”


If I want to wear a printed t-shirt, one would say, “Don’t wear that shirt, you look like a ten-year old instead of a college student!”


If I want to wear a bolero, one would ask me to take it off and add, “Don’t wear that bolero, there is no winter here in the Philippines?" 


It’s okay to give me suggestions as long as it would match my outfit. But what if that person asks you to wear a yucky oversized spaghetti-spilled shirt that is out of style?


Oh please. If you were a Facebook feature, you would be "Facebook Dress Suggestions”. Can you just cut out all your repetitive comments with whatever I wear? A piece of advice: give me the freedom to wear whatever fancies and suits me. I don’t need a wardrobe consultant.
