Word of the Day: The look
When I thought about explaining the look, I immediately thought of the song She’s Got The Look by Roxette.
I remember walking to school back in the day and listening to the song on my Sony Walkman.
I had a yellow Sports Walkman. Does that bring back memories?
Anyway, the look has to do with style or fashion, but it can be more than that.
Some people have a dangerous look; some have an innocent look.
Regarding fashion, the look changes each year, but don’t worry.
Fashion is like history – if you wait long enough, it will repeat itself.
Regarding a dangerous look, some people have a look about them that makes you want to cross the street when they come near.
It doesn’t mean they’re dangerous; they could be the sweetest person in the world, but there is something about them that gives them the look of being hazardous to your health.
