Fertile Fashionista

Have u ever had a moment, or certain days when you put a little bit more effort on dressing ups, wore your favourite dress/baju kurung/skirts or kebaya and being more feminine than usual? You picked up brighter colours, rather than those bleaky or subdued ones. On that day, you suddenly feel like putting an extra dab of powder on your nose, new shades of lipsticks, or even put more accessories than usual? And you appeared more fashionable than normal days!

I had those days. I would choose long skirts over jeans, heels over flat sandals, kebaya over baju kurung. Even rummaged through mom’s treasure chest and slipped one or two beaded bracelets on my wrist.

According to a research done by U.S researchers, fertile women dress to impress!! Hah!! So, that’s what happening huh? Unlike animals, which would emit certain scent or display some changes in skin colour when ovulating; human, on the other hand showed no clear sign of it. Hence, the existence of ovulating test kit for women who wants to get pregnant but unaware of the likeliest time to conceive! However, that would not be the case anymore, as reported by the studies, “Women would frequently wore more fashionable or flashier clothing and jewelry when they were ovulating, as assessed by a panel of men and women looking at their photographs.”

And so, when there comes a day someone said “Hey you look beautiful today,” “Wow.. mcm mak datin lah”, or get more cat or wolf whistles than usual, what do you know, you might be ovulating!

So, for those who have bite the dusts (read: married), work harder eh tonight? Ahah.

As for me, I would wait for the elusive ‘best friend’, which suddenly decided not to visit me during Ramadhan. How convenient.

Oh, haven’t I tell you, women are more likely to flirt and look at attractive men when they ovulate? Haha. Now ladies, we have our reasons!!!
