Dressing It Up

If you are already with me on this ride then get yourself ready for more wonderful news, and if you are just joining this journey for the first time strap yourself in it is about to be great.

Now that we are in communication with others I think it is important to add on to the things people see as they discover us. Growing up you may have heard that it is not about what is on the outside that matters but it is what is on the inside that counts. This statement is very true but sometimes we like to play with the concept of dressing up because the world provides us with so many wardrobe opportunities. What I have learned is that even though clothing is not important it can however benefit us on the inside. So, for this one time only I am going to analyze how to take the outside and connect it with the inside through a list.

Shirt - Find a size that is not too big or small, but hugs your body just right. This says I am not trying to over show or hide aspects of myself but am comfortable with the body I have been given. 

Bottoms - This can be anything from pants to shorts. You want to pick something again that hugs your physique just right. You want to be sure they are something you can sit, stand and walk in because if you can complete those tasks successfully then you are more likely to move through your day relaxed. It will be one less worry if you do not have to think about holding the bottoms up or about them popping open from being too small.

Shoes - Again, make sure they fit your foot specifically. If they are too small you risk hopping around in pain from sore muscles and blisters. If they are too big you most likely will not be able to walk proper and could chance running behind or slipping up.

Accessories - The point of an accessory is to add to the main focus not be the main focus. Keep it simple yet noticeable. Look in a mirror while wearing your main attraction with your accessory, if the first thing your eyes jump to is the accessory then it is too much. You want it to be something that can turn into a side compliment throughout your encounter with someone.

If you take all of these aspects into consideration to form one solid outfit, you are golden. You can easily become the comfortable, confident and approachable person you hope to be every time you put yourself together to explore the world. If you feel great about what you are in then you can spend more time focusing on the conversation you are going to engage in.

TIP: Look great. Feel Great. Be Great.
