Ten Reasons to Date a Fashion Girl

10 REASONS TO DATE A FASHION GIRL
As if you needed one...
By Kerry Pieri

1. You'll never wear an embarrassing outfit again. We know you've just been waiting for someone to finally make you throw away those cargo khakis.

2. Cool parties, restaurant openings and impossible to get into clubs will become your regular evening plans. And not that you'll even care, because you'll be dating your gorgeous fashion girl, but you will regularly be standing next to supermodels at the bar.

3. Your BFA photo number will sky rocket. If you're into a little exposure for that pet project/app/e-commerce site you've been thinking of launching, it certainly can't hurt.

4. And in turn, your Google ranking will increase. That embarrassing photo of you from 2004 from your company site will no longer hold the number one spot in your Google image search.

5. She always looks perfect for any occassion. Aprés ski? Check. Brunch? Check. Meeting the parents? Check.

6. Your mom will love her for all the free beauty products.

7. Two Words: Press Trips. Two more words: Editor Discounts.

8. Years of climbing the ladder, attending events, industry dinners and market appointments make her well-versed enough to talk to just about anyone—and great company at cocktail parties.

9. Stamina. She can go to work all day, party all night and still make it to her Soul Cycle/SLT/Yoga class in the morning.

10. People are constantly underestimating her because she works in a seemingly frivolous industry—but she's well-educated, hard-working, intelligent and cultured, and she'll defy expectations every time.
