Friends don’t let friends dress poorly

The best thing about having a big sister is that no matter what happens, you will always have a friend.

It’s someone who is going to be 100 percent honest about everything you ask them, and sometimes even about things that you didn’t.

The honesty isn’t limited to just serious, real life problems either. In fact my sister is probably more honest about the less intense stuff.

 For example, if we go out and I decided to not fix my hair she’s going to call me out.

If I start wearing sweat pants more than jeans, I get called out on that.

She doesn’t do it to be mean, she does it to help me.

When I look absolutely hideous and like I belong locked away in a basement closet instead of in public, she calls me out on that too.

Everybody needs a friend like that.

In fact if I’m out and about and see a women in an outfit that clearly doesn’t fit, her eye shadow is purple and her girls are hanging out, than my first thought is “Well she clearly has no friends.”

Letting your friends go out looking like Barney’s cousin or a prostitute is not friendship. It’s like you’re Regina George in Mean Girls and you’re trying to get revenge on someone.

It’s just not cool.

You know how guys have some silly thing called guy code?

Well what I’m talking about is real and it is the cardinal sin of the girl world.

If you’re going to a party and the theme is 80’s prom, a side pony and brightly colored mismatched clothes are okay.

If your friend wears this outfit 10 days later out to lunch, YOUR duty as a friend is to throw it away and take to her bad dresser anonymous.

Ok, so that isn’t a real thing.

But something needs to be done.

My sister taught me this very important rule and it’s only fair if I share this wealth of information.

If you dress like you’re blind then bad things will happen.

Don’t let bad things happen.
