What Does ‘Fashion’ Have to do with Love?
Oh Valentine’s Day. A time for romance. A time for rekindling an old flame. A time for putting the spark back into an important relationship. This is the month we take the time to show the one we love just how much we love them. How exciting! Love is an amazing word that conjures up so many emotions.
Love makes us happy, Love makes us mad, Love makes us crazy, and of course, love can make us excited. Love gives us a special skip in our day and turns lonely nights in memories of a lifetime. Love makes us strong and Love can make us weak. History has been changed because of Love. Love is seen in a child, Love is felt from a pet, Love has started wars and Love has healed the sick. Love can make us cry and Love can make us laugh and smile. Men fight for Love and fight over love, women long for love and give birth because of Love. Love is a heart, Love is a cross.
SO, what does fashion’ have to do with love?
If you are planning a date night with the one you love; here is some advice. The time that you take to look’ great shows the other person how important they are to you you took the time to look especially beautiful. That means something.
Ladies…Buy a new dress, put on your heels and lipstick, take the time to do your hair and have a great evening with your dates!
Men…Shave, get your hair cut, trim your nose and ear hair, polish your shoes 
and make a reservation early…show up with a great smile, clean car, flowers and bottle of champagne (Even if you are married) and start the night off right.
I have included a letter below from a client I have worked with for some time now. I thought it was a great expression of truth about how fashion correlates with LOVE and thought I would share it with you during this month of love!
Warmest,
Mila

Mila,
I have to submit this letter to you and I hope that you will share it with others. I am a married man, with several children and I work hard all day, as does my wife. She is working part time, and taking care of our children while managing a home too. She recently came home and shared an article with me where a woman said SHE DID NOT NEED TO DRESS FOR HER HUSBAND since he loved her for who she was not how she looks. Well, I agree completely; however, I hope that I can help some of the women you meet and serve understand why that statement can do more harm than it can good to a relationship, plus I must add: My wife does not agree to the statement in totality.
True I love my wife and the love is so much deeper than outer appearance but let me ask you and your readers: Do you like it when your husband takes the time to hand write a LOVE LETTER TO YOU? I write love letters to my wife as often as my heart is prompted. See, a love letter is a lot like fashion for a man and his wife. When I write a love letter to my wife I am taking the time to invest in her so that she feels better and can read how I feel about her. It is just something about a written page that is so much more than spoken words. I take the time to find the right card, the right paper and the right words to express how amazing she is and how proud I am of her as a woman. Each line is an expression of my love for her. No two love letters are alike. Each one must express something different. I do not have to write her love letters to make her feel good, and my love letter is not a requirement of our love. I write them because I do love her, and I know that she loves the special communication I send and understands the commitment to time I make to write. A love letter is all about her!! Now that being said, I just warm up when I give her the letter. I can’t help it!! Just knowing that my words will make her smile and let her know that she is special is all I need to keep me more passionate than I already was. There are some great romantic and special nights after a love letter day!
Well now to the point. Us men: well we are visual. We can’t help it; it’s just the way the Lord made us. So when I see my wife, I love the fact that she has taken the time to put on a great outfit, or do her hair or fix her eyes. There is no scent better in the world than the one that reminds you of your wife! When she takes the time to get dressed and I know that she is thinking of me when she does it, well that just makes me feel special and warm. You see, when my wife dresses, she doesn’t have to do it to show me she loves me, nor does she have to do it to please me: But like a great love letter: When she dresses and I know she is thinking of me, it sure makes me feel better. Her clothing is the same as my envelope. Each piece of her fashion is like the individual lines I write in a love letter. Each morning I know she is preparing a love letter for me. My children see her preparation and care as she looks her best for them as much as she does for herself. Also one more thing I can add: When I get home or sometimes when I just wake up: I can tell you that Like a Good Love Letter: Great looking fashion and her display of something that is just for me, sure does lead to some romantic nights. So be certain and let your women know that the other article and comments are right: NO WOMAN HAS TO DRESS FOR A MAN OR HIS APPROVAL, but if they like love letters and are trying to find a way to express their love, there is something about a great outfit that says I LOVE YOU. Thanks for letting me share.
