Suits and dinner

Suits were originally made for gentlemen but with time women adopted it. The word suit derives from the French suit, meaning “following”, from some Late Latin derivative form of the Latin verb sequel translated I follow, because the component garments (jacket and trousers and waistcoat) follow each other and have the same cloth and colour and are worn together.    Just like people, fashion is becoming more acceptable and versatile. Today, women can carry off suits, sometimes even better than men. In fact, a suit set has now become an essential in every woman’s closet.

The bar for selecting a woman’s suit is a bit different when compared to a men’s suit. Since women’s clothing is generally a lot more diverse, the options are many. Hence, there is a lot more scope for experimentation.

However, it is extremely important to get women’s suiting right in order to flaunt it in the best possible way

Ladies' dinner suits elevate every woman's wardrobe. Dressed in a well-fitted suit, any woman exudes power, sex appeal confidence, and success. Dinner dates are the best for spending quality time with a significant other, friends, and family. Trends these days have us breaking fashion rules. Suits currently are worn to almost every occasion and time. Women’s suits aren’t just for business meetings and other formal commitments. Just like men’s suits, these can be dressed down. Here are a few tips that can make women in suits stand out

Wearing skinny jeans and a casual top with a blazer is a classic example of this. Apart from this, one can wear sneakers with the above or pair suit pants with a casual top. In all these ways, suits can be worn out informally, thereby increasing their usability.

You can also wear your blazer over a fitted dress

Another way to flaunt a party look is by wearing a cami or crop top under the jacket or by ditching the blouse altogether.

Try pairing your suit with a bikini bra and the same color pants as the suit. 

Estée Lauder buys Tom Ford for 2.3 billion $.

(well, I guess by the time you read this its a done deal) Fashion and personal care products including perfumes are doing well, there is one deal after the other, and the money involved is big. Normally I would not really care, the names of the products mostly don't change and often you don’t know who is the final owner anyway. But what I find interesting is Louis Vuitton buying a football club, and now a skincare company buying a clothing and accessories company. So expect that next time when you buy perfume you are told that you'll get a discount if you buy a handbag with it. Inform the one who might give you perfume for Christmas. Because of this Lauder Ford thing I read up a bit on Mr. Ford, the young man (he's only 61) did very well indeed, more or less out of nothing. A few daring acts and a few strokes of luck and here we go, 2.3 billion Dollars, thank you so much, nice meeting you. Which just goes to say:” dare, and try to recognize luck if it decides to come your way, and then grab it with your 2 hands.

I love search engines.

Ask.com, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Microsoft Bing, Yahoo and Yandex are some of them, where Google is the absolute winner with 91%, to the extent that it has become a verb, to google something. For example, I am reading something and there is a word that I don’t know, or an event is mentioned, or a person. Hop, google, and the answer is there. During Covid there were a lot of funny stories floating around, propagated by some of the 5 billion internet users via their social media. If you took the vaccine you would get a radio implanted into your body, and a famous virologist predicted that all vaccine takers would die within two years. And Bill Gates had created Covid so that he could sell vaccines. Google it and you get the other side of the story, and with a bit of intelligence (you are reading this, not so?) you could figure out what really happened like Bill Gates announced in 2015 that the world was not really ready for a pandemic, (and right now announcing that the next pandemic will be worse) rather than Bill Gates creating one and that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been investing in finding vaccines against malaria and HIV. Mr. and Mrs. Gates must have been shaking their heads and concluding that some people prefer to remain ill-informed, and rather get excited by unfounded rumors. Call it gossip if you like.

At the same time, one has to remain careful with all this available information, something called Artificial Intelligence (AI) tries to figure out what your preferences are, so if you constantly click on the rumors then after some time that's what you'll get first. And, the other day I typed a quote; does Ghana have and Mr. AI (or is it a she?), to my complete astonishment, straight away suggested that I wanted to type a quote; “does Ghana have submarines” Sure, that's exactly what I had in mind, with the Dollar shooting skywards like a new years flair. Why not 2 submarines? (Shuuuh, some politician might pull a fast and fat one out of this one) .... No idea how Mr. AI concluded that most likely that is what I was going to type, so I call this Artificial Stupidness (AS). So keep your eyes open and remain alert for nonsense, there are lots of it around.
