PICTURE THIS...
My boyfriend, standing in my closet with a mix of playful confidence and mock-seriousness, preparing to style me for our friend’s birthday party. What started as a spontaneous, “Wouldn’t it be funny if…” moment turned into a surprising display of just how much he pays attention to me and the things I care about.
I thought it would be hilarious—him rifling through my wardrobe, trying to figure out what goes with what. But the result? I felt stylish, comfortable, and so very me. It was the perfect outfit for a winter night out in Ohio.
Fashion & Undivided Attention
It Was Kind of Intimate
Usually, I’m the one dissecting outfits, talking through textures, layers, and all those intricate details. But this time, it was all him. And I have to say, I adored the undivided attention. (Not that he doesn’t already spoil me with it, he does, but let’s be honest: you can never have too much!)
There was something so intimate about the whole process. Listening to him jokingly use my fashion lingo, in his best impression of me, made me laugh. Yet, beneath the playfulness, there was so much care. Watching him think through my preferences like textures, layers, and all the little details that make me me made me feel loved and understood.
He even made sure I’d be warm enough, layering pieces thoughtfully because he knows how much I hate being cold. His choices weren’t just practical, they were intentional. He understood what I needed without me having to say a word.
Style with Love in the Details!
The outfit he put together? Chef’s kiss. Warm, modest, and layered with the kind of textures and subtle moments that feel like my signature. He’s always been so attentive, and seeing that attentiveness come to life in something I love, fashion, was pure magic.
It gave me a fresh perspective on just how much he notices the details that matter to me. And let’s not forget: the man has taste!
If you haven’t handed over the reins to your partner for a styling session yet, I highly recommend it. You might just find yourself surprised by the result and maybe even a little more in love.
Here’s to more nights filled with love, laughter, and unexpectedly amazing outfits.
