-When is less really more?

With summer already upon us and the weather deciding to be outrageously hot at times, it is clear to see that summer fashion has hit us full force. On the days when the sun decides to make an appearance, so does many a scantily clad person. I understand the want to stay cool and prevent sweating out of your deodorant, but some people are abusing the less is more theory. Way too many muffin tops have already made an appearance this season, along with one too many pasty albino folk. I am all for feeling comfortable for who you are, honestly, but please refrain from forcing the rest of us to be comfortable with you. Tone it up, trim it down, tan it; and then show us what you got, in a modest kind of way. Everyone, no matter if you look like a Greek god or someone who enjoys Greek food, keep it classy. There are lots of ways to show the goods without actually putting them on display, leave something to the imagination. Making someone think is a lot sexier then making someone drool, things go farther when everything is not revealed at the beginning.

Clothes and how much to wear is a lot easier to navigate as opposed to knowing when to let it all hang out or cover it up verbally. No matter how close you are to someone or how much you love them, there is always that worry that saying too much will end up badly. And should you always tell it all the way, or is it something you reserve for special occasions. Constantly saying the cold hard truth will leave you cold hard and alone, sometimes you have to warm someone up with some good words. That way they know you are speaking with love, use a buffer. Like spring is to winter, you can not go straight from nine below to ninety degrees that would be disastrous. Not to mention that fact that sometimes the cold hard truth is the last thing that needs to be said, sometimes you just have to bask in good words.

Maybe the rules of summer styles do apply to verbal styles as well. Less can mean more when done properly. Even summer has the random cloudy, cold day. Soaking up good words is needed, but too much can get you burned. Hinting at what is good is much better then showing it off. So, this summer, lets try to use some discretion and remember to use our mouths carefully.
