"You know you and your guy are getting pretty close when you&amp;#x27;ve reached that stage where you can talk about all of the funny/awkward/cute things that happened when you first met. Dan and I talk about this all of the time. I usually tease him because on our first date he took me to a museum (cute) followed by dinner at a pretty gross &amp;quot;restaurant&amp;quot; that has since, ahem, closed down (not-so cute). Just recently I asked him what he initially noticed about me that made him interested. And you&amp;#x27;ll never guess what he said...Here&amp;amp;#8217;s a picture of Dan with the stylin&amp;amp;#8217; frames he picked out himself. They improve his vision, so he can check out my outfits! My style. Huh?! I immediately asked him if he thought that most guys think style is important, and he said he did. But I wasn&amp;#x27;t convinced. So after we went through all of his friends, we decided that, really, only one or two of them would even notice what a girl was wearing. Here&amp;#x27;s the thing: Guys definitely check out girls&amp;#x27; bodies, right? (Duh.) So if you&amp;#x27;re wearing a micro-mini, or a dress that shows off all of your curves, he&amp;#x27;s going to take note. Joanna has talked a lot about guy pretty vs. girl pretty. And it&amp;#x27;s true that there are some pieces that will drive most guys wild. His button-down shirt, or a button-down dress that has the same thigh-skimming effect, are probably at the top of that list. But will he dig those awesome, sky-high heels that are killing your feet? Sorry, sister, but besides the fact that you&amp;#x27;re walking a good pace and a half slower than him, he probably won&amp;#x27;t really think much of your stylish effort. So, then, why did Dan notice my style? Here&amp;#x27;s the caveat: A select number of guys genuinely do appreciate a fashionable gal. If your fella is artsy, if he&amp;#x27;s an observant chap, if he takes pride in his own style, if he&amp;amp;#8217;s smart&amp;amp;#8212;and into you enough&amp;amp;#8212;to notice that it&amp;amp;#8217;s something you take pride in, or if he&amp;#x27;s gay (kidding!) there&amp;#x27;s a pretty good chance that your top-notch taste will earn you some points. And the other plus for you chic readers out there is that if you wear a little something that&amp;#x27;s interesting, or different, guys will usually comment. When they approach you when you&amp;#x27;re out, they&amp;#x27;re looking for every reason to keep the conversation flowing. So if you have a really cool watch, or a necklace that&amp;#x27;s obviously not from these here parts, he&amp;#x27;ll probably bring it up. The other thing I have to mention is that just because guys might notice your glorious gams&amp;amp;#8212;but not the shoes supporting them&amp;amp;#8212;doesn&amp;#x27;t mean that you should stop stocking your closet with things you love. I&amp;#x27;ve always worn clothes that I knew weren&amp;#x27;t the majority of guys&amp;#x27; cup of lady tea. (Think: circa 2001 Carrie Bradshaw-esque eccentricities&amp;amp;#8212;totally not guy pretty!) But I was OK with that because that&amp;#x27;s just my style and me&amp;amp;#8212;and, coincidentally, one of the first things that caught Dan&amp;#x27;s eye. So if your thing&amp;#x27;s high-waisted jeans, by all means, rock them! Tell me, ladies, can you relate to this? What&amp;#x27;s the first thing your guy noticed about you? Does your man dig your style? Do you usually dress for guys or for girls? Do you ask your guy why he&amp;#x27;s so into you? What do you notice first about guys? Have you ever changed your style for a guy? Or, have you asked him to dress differently for you? P.S. Three pick-up shirts that all men love and where do you draw the line between sexy and sleazy when it comes to your wardrobe? Looking for Joanna?
