Everyones opinion of what is stylish and fashionable are much different. You may fit in one crowd perfectly and be shunned completely by another based on you appearance alone. First impressions are important in a lot of cases and most of it has to do with your appearance. The way you dress, how you look, and you hair are all things people take into consideration when analyzing someone for the first time.
I highly doubt anyone sane would spend time “dressing up” if there was no one to dress up for. I have seen many people guys and girls take hours at a time to get ready for society. Most guys can get ready fairly quick not not everyone is this way. Most girls I have known spend most of the night getting ready to go out. Im not being sexist but just speaking about what I have encountered along my way.
Like a lot of us I have had short hair and long hair both. At my age certain people judge me differently according to my hair length. I have noticed older more professional humans take me much more seriously when my hair is short. I dont blame them, but in my mind I know Im exactly the same either way so I continue to rock the hair while I still can.
Probably 99 percent of my wardrobe was bought from thrift stores of some sort, so when I get crap from certain people “mainly other guys” I dont let it bother me because I know whatever they are talking about most likely costed me 50 cents. Whether its 50 dollars or 50 cents I have found It still has the same affect.
Most people would buy a colorful package over a black one if it were the same price, but some of us would actully pay more for this brighter more colorful appearance. Once you buy this remeber you are now inside the box of people outside the box. It is hard to say today whether the majority of us are inside or outside this imaginary space. Even though you can sell your black jumpsuit and buy a pink one piece insead you are still the same even though you may not look it. You need to ask yourself if you would still be wearing that ridiculous pink onese if you were deep in seclusion, where ever that may be for you. We are a nation that cares more about appearance than we do function. A perfectly good example of this is when something has no funtion at all except to be appealing. Like a certain feature on a house or a giant sculpture. We have been creating objects that attract us for as long as history can tell us. The certain types of jewelry is a great example of this. In ancient ruins we have found many things that were strictly used as decoration. Wanting to appear a certain way is a perfectly normal habit we have been doing for thousands of years, so dont be ashamed to dress how you want. This world would be incredibly boring if everything looked the same. Buy that colored pager paint your house purple do those crazy things that create you a different being because if not you will find youself trapped in the imaginary box we call normal.
