ANSWER: I am your oft-neglected hip pocket!
Work with me on this one.
I am in a waiting room with an inviting spread of magazines fanned before me. My roving eye will touch upon the top Parenting picks I should be reading. Instead l move on to Cosmo or one of its sister glossies headlining the latest beauty and fashion tips. Hey, it’s fifteen minutes of precious perusing I would otherwise not have, if not for a doctor holding out to receive me.
“Dressing for success” on any occasion, is a big deal for us ladies and always threaded into a fashion story. Working our body language and recognizing how we carry ourselves, play as key a role as our clothing sense.
Enter—the hip pocket.
After reaching out to men in their mid thirties and forties, I learned of their “no junk in the trunk” theory. This suggests that our Venus vanity will simply not allow us to place much more in our hip pocket beyond the discreet ID, debit card, and stick of gum.
True enough. However, last I checked there’s no crime in wanting to minimize any bulges stemming from our maiden form, artificially placed or not.
In this post, I thought about how I wear my own clothes and found resting hand-in-pocket radiates my self-confidence, especially when I walk.
You may be surprised. A quick slip of the hand in your pocket, followed by a casual cool strut can really wow onlookers by your new poised and authentic style!
A homework exercise: invent a fun pocket-picking walking exercise you could “try on” (with any outfit).
Consider the function of those oh so teensy thumb sized pockets that sit front and center on our jeans. Designers must have placed them there to say something, maybe lend us some attitude?
How will you jazz up your style with something that oozes your personality?
Here’s a celebrity pic of Katie Holmes “working” her own pockets when spotted in New York City.
