After applying the glove conditioner, you must typically wait for 24 hours. Check manufacturer directions regarding the length of time you must wait before your glove can again be used. Overuse could actually attract dirt and debris to the glove. It is typically not necessary to use more than a few dabs of conditioner. Additionally, don't use conditioner too frequently. Using conditioner more than twice per season is typically excessive.

Summary: Wait for the conditioner to be absorbed. Do not overuse glove conditioner.

Even if the dress code for the wedding doesn't call for extremely formal wear, you may want to opt for a longer dress or skirt to help stay warm. That doesn't mean you have to choose a floor length option, though - a midi dress or skirt, which usually hits at mid-calf, can be a stylish option. Tea length dresses and skirts, which are usually slightly longer than midi styles but not floor length, are also a good option for winter weddings. If you're not sure about wearing a midi or tea length dress or skirt, consider wearing a high-low style. They're usually longer in the back and shorter in the front, so you'll get some added warmth while not committing to a longer length all the way around. If you want to wear a shorter dress that ends at the knees or above, your legs may be a little cold at the ceremony and reception. That doesn't mean you have to ditch the dress -- just swap your bare legs or sheer hosiery for a pair of opaque tights that will help keep you a little warmer. Err on the side of caution by choosing tights in a neutral color such as black or gray. Wearing a color that coordinates with your dress can sometimes like a little too costume-y. Depending on what type of dress or skirt that you're wearing, you may want to opt for a textured pair of tights. For example, you can complement a simple sheath dress with a pair of tights with a lacy texture. If you're wearing a dress with a bold pattern or texture, it's best to wear smooth tights. It may not seem traditional, but pants can actually be an elegant option for a winter wedding. Just opt for a tailored pair that have an elegant look, and pair them with a statement top. For a winter wedding, pants in a dark color, such as black, are an ideal option. However, you can also go for a sophisticated, stylish look by choosing a pair in winter white or cream. If you're wearing pants to a winter wedding, wear them with a bold sequin top or elegant satin blouse to ensure that you look dressy enough. In addition to pants, you can wear an elegant tailored jumpsuit to a winter wedding. If you have an ideal dress to wear to a winter wedding but you're worried that you'll be cold in its short sleeves, layer a blazer over it. A sophisticated velvet or brocade blazer can keep you warm and add style to your look. If you're wearing a simple, solid colored dress, consider pairing it with a blazer in floral pattern that features rich jewel tones to give your outfit some more flair. At a winter wedding, you may have to deal with icy sidewalks or snowy parking lots -- which can be difficult to navigate in stiletto heels. Instead of skyscraper pumps, opt for shoes that are easier to walk in, such as velvet wedges or peep toe kitten heels. Ballet flats that are embellished with rhinestones or covered in satin are also a good option for winter weddings. If you're concerned about your feet being cold, pair your dress, skirt, or tailored pants with stylish ankle boots for added warmth.

Summary: Opt for a longer skirt or dress. Pair tights with a shorter dress. Consider wearing pants. Add a blazer over a short sleeve dress. Choose stable shoes.

As you read short stories, pay attention to opening lines. How does the writer get your attention? Where does the story start? Many short stories may start when some of the important actions or events have already occurred. Authors may recount such events in flashbacks or imply them through means like character dialogue. If you want to write a story, you'll need to know basic story structure. Stories are made up of exposition, rising action, a climax, falling action, and a resolution. The first parts of the story come with exposition and rising action. Your exposition comes at the beginning of the story. This is where you explain who the main character is and what he or she is doing at the beginning of the story. Exposition should be brief and grab the reader's attention. A story's rising action is the series of conflicts that move the story forward. No story can exist without a problem that needs resolving. In a sad story, there should be an element of tragedy to that problem. For example, maybe your main character is caring for her sick dog. The rising action could include her taking the dog to the vet, finding out the sickness is worse than she thought, and struggling with the setbacks and challenges of her dog's medical needs. Once you've figured out basic story structure, write a short outline for your story. Write out how your story will begin, what rising action you'll include, the climax, and how the story is resolved. An outline can be brief. It's not necessary to use full sentences in an outline. You just need to have some sense of the basic events that will occur. You can separate your outline into the five elements of story structure: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution. An outline should use numbers and letters for structure. Big headings, like "exposition," can be marked with a roman numeral. You can use letters or regular numbers to elaborate on aspects of that heading. For example, "I. Exposition, a. introduce Susan." To help you see how to write an outline, let's return to this article's example. You could begin the outline with something like this: "Exposition, a. Introduce Ada, crying in art class, b. Sad to be reminded of her father's cancer, c. Returns home alone (her mother is at work) to help care for her ailing dog."
Summary: Free write about sadness. Seek inspiration. Learn how to begin a story. Outline your story.
