after reading the discussion of dressing, i sincerely had to sit down and wonder who it was that i was dressing for; was i dressing for myself? or, was i dressing for others?

when i clothe myself in the morning, or choose an outfit the night before to wear the next day, am i in fact putting these pieces together to please myself or to attract attention (wanted/unwanted)? sometimes, when i watch people in the mall or in a park, i wonder humorously whether some people even own a mirror.

personally, i would say that my answer is both. when shopping, i tend to veer toward creative style and design. i perpetually choose pieces that i don’t think/hope that anyone else would wear. i strive to be different, but i know that there are many who would rather blend in. admittedly, though, when i dress i need to think, “does this style suit my figure? is it flattering?” or “is this shade of vomit green really doing wonders for my skin tone?” sometimes, the answer is a negative one, to which i must put my wants aside and turn toward reality.

in the end, who do you dress for? please, be honest with yourself.
