INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Printed chiffon pants are a little too busy and casual-looking for work, so stick with solid colors. Neutral colors, like black, navy, charcoal, and tan, are the most work-appropriate choices.  For example, pair dressy black palazzo pants with a crisp white button down or a silky white blouse.  Don’t be afraid to experiment with bold hues, especially if your office is casual! Just make sure you pair the pants with a formal top to keep the look work-appropriate. If your style is laid-back and comfortable but you still want to look office-ready, style your chiffon pants with a silky tank or T-shirt. Then, toss on a relaxed blazer and a sensible pair of shoes and you’ll be ready to take on the day! A structured blazer may clash with your flowy pants, although it can also provide a nice contrast. Don’t be afraid to experiment and see what you like. Go with a long-sleeved button-up blouse made with a high-quality fabric to dress up chiffon palazzo pants for work. You can also try other formal blouse styles, but aim for fitted tops for a streamlined look, since palazzo pants are already baggy. For example, pair elegant navy palazzo pants with a blue and white floral button-up blouse. Chiffon palazzo pants are practically a statement piece all by themselves, so it's important to keep jewelry and accessories minimal in a work environment. For example, you could wear a simple pendant or an elegant wrist watch to complete your look. Go with simple studs if your ears are pierced.

SUMMARY: Opt for solid-colored palazzo pants at the office. Wear a silky top and a relaxed blazer for a business-casual look. Pair palazzo pants with a sophisticated formal top for office wear. Keep your jewelry minimal and tasteful.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: How a girl flirts can give you an idea of whether she is really interested. Watch and take note. How intense is her flirting? Does it seem light-hearted and friendly? This may mean she's not seriously interested. It could be something more if her attention feels like more than just play, though. Pay close attention the next time your lady is bantering with you. Note her eyes, her face, her voice, her body language, and her general attitude. All of these are clues to solving your mystery. What is your mystery lady's attention span when you are flirting? This should give you hints, as well. Someone who is really interested – who has eyes for only you – should give you the time of day. Does she check texts and emails while you banter? This could mean the interaction doesn't mean much to her. Or does she focus entirely on you? A girl's attention span will be more sustained if she's interested in you. Keep track of your encounters. Does she stop by your desk once in a while to tease you and quickly moves on? That might not be a good sign. Does she join you in the lunch room several days a week? Do you always seem to run into her in hall ways or at the water cooler? That is more encouraging. Some women and men are serial flirts. They flirt with those they're interested in and with those they're not interested in. They flirt with everyone. Why? They may like the challenge or the power it gives them. They may have low self-esteem. Or they may just like to flirt, period.  Pay special attention to your mystery lady's general flirting habits. Does she share her favors widely? Does she flirt with other men, or maybe girls? This behavior may indicate that she is a serial flirt. On the other hand, does she seem to concentrate on you and you alone? If the flirting is mostly exclusive, you can pretty safely assume that there is a reason for it. Body language will tell you a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling. Whether it is our eyes, our face, our posture, or other behavior, the way we carry ourselves can unconsciously signal interest or disinterest. Use it to your advantage for your mystery girl, starting with her eyes  Pay close attention to where she is looking. Does she hold eye contact with you? Usually when talking, we hold and break eye contact frequently. If she gazes deeply into your eyes in your presence, it might mean she is attracted.  Note how much she blinks, as well. Does she do it a lot when she's with you? The average person blinks about 20 times per minute. However, our blink rate increases when we're emotionally excited. If your girl is blinking like mad, it's a good reason to think that she is interested in you. How is she sitting or standing? Physical posture can be another way to tell if a person is interested in you or just being friendly. This include the direction she faces, whether she leans in or back when talking to you, or whether she points her toes in your direction. Try to notice all of these subtle signs.  Does she mirror your body language and gestures? Surprisingly, this unconscious behavior is a sign that she's noticing you – both what you do and how you do it. Does she lean in or angle toward you during conversations? What about her toes? Does she usually point them toward you? These, again, are more unconscious ways that our body can signal we like a person. The human face can express an incredible range of emotions, some consciously and some unconsciously. How a person feels, then, including possible interest in you, is often written on their face. Study your mystery lady's face for signs that she's into you.  Look also at her eyebrows. One common way the body signals attraction is the raised brow. When someone likes us, their eyebrows rise and fall. This lasts less than a second but is there. Look for it.  What about her pupils? Pupils become dilated – that is, slightly larger – as a brain response to physical attraction. If she gets large, doe eyes in your presence, it is a signal that she likes you.  See how she smiles. People tend to smile from above the mouth when they are truly happy, in order words, the smile engages the whole face above the mouth. A smile with an open mouth, lifted forehead, and squinted eyes is a good sign that the smile is genuine.

SUMMARY: Watch how she flirts. Note how long she flirts. Note where and when she flirts. Look into her eyes. Observe her posture. Read her expression.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you’re in the dress, pull up the left strap so that it covers your left shoulder. Pull up the right strap so that it is also on top of your left shoulder, and then twist the straps together to go down your back. Once the straps are twisted, they should resemble a rope. Bring one strap around the left side of your waist and the other strap around the right side before tying them in the front or back. If you would rather have the straps go on the opposite side, pull up both straps to cover your right shoulder before twisting. Bring both straps up to your left shoulder, making sure to cover your bust. Create a knot just below your shoulder with both straps before pulling the left strap under your arm so that it’s back in the front. Bring the right strap across your back and around your waist to the right. Cross the straps in the front before tying them in the back. Making sure that both straps are in the front, pull the right strap over your left bust and the left strap over your right bust before wrapping them around your back. Once the straps are both in the back, cross them and bring them back to the front. Bring them around to the back one more time and tie in a bow or knot. Tucking the front of the dress into a strapless bra will help keep the dress in place.

SUMMARY:
Twist the straps to form a 1 shoulder dress. Tie a knot for an alternative 1 shoulder dress. Wrap the straps around your bust for a strapless dress.
