Your Image matters.
“Prima Facie” a Latin maxim which translates to ‘based on first impression.
In life, first impressions play an important role. It is exceptional to find someone willing to change their mind about you. Your initial interaction with someone can produce an everlasting memory, and clothes are a crucial factor in this respect. Not everyone you meet is someone with whom you’ll exchange words. However, it is still imperative to leave an impressionable mark on them. It simply does not matter what you wear, how you carry yourself in those clothes.
Clothes are a representation of yourself that people can see externally. You do not have to explain your choice of clothes to others, just as you would not justify your life choices to every new individual you meet. How they choose to perceive you is not in your control, but you do have the ability to choose what aspect of yourself you wish to bring attention to. The way you decide to express yourself is not subject to someone else scrutiny but rather as a form of acceptance of who you are and how you put yourself forward.
Self-exploration is also a great outcome of finding out different styles that best represent you. The experiences you go through in life help to change and evolve your mind as they happen. People change their perception of themselves multiple times throughout their lives, and in that journey, there is no wrong answer. Who you were yesterday may not be whom you chose to be today. What you wear today may not represent whom you become tomorrow. The idea in life is to keep discovering what it is that makes you. However, there are several factors which stops you in taking the right action about your wardrobe, make over or even changes in the way you talk and walk, and a professional support is always welcome.
