Pride in Dress is Not a Bad Thing

Something kind of magical happens when you take pride in your appearance, not in a superficial way, but it can affect an internal shift in your confidence I know that many people have been a little preoccupied the last few days with Monique's commentary about the bonnet situation.

 
The concept of calling someone "An auntie" because they have standards is a little unfair.
A few week's back I addressed the Peter Pan syndrome that I have noticed going on.

Clothes dictate a responses . I know I am going to get told. quote, " This is now and not when you were coming up."

 
The truth of the matter is that clothes do dictate how serious you are taken, .Consider a professional environment, many businesswomen and businessmen are required to dress at a corporate standard; suits, ties, pencil skirts, shirts etc. The reasoning behind this is to ensure the company shows to be represented by top professionals and people who take their job seriously,
I’m all for comfort, I’m all for looking like you chose an outfit in two minutes without thinking twice about it, but I’m ALL about the balance of dressing my best, effortlessly.

The recent pandemic has changed the game of how we look and what we wear, considering how plenty of people may have just worn their pajamas while working from home. But then, so what if you're meeting people virtually? Shouldn't a professional business appearance matter? Even if you're not meeting people, would getting dressed in something presentable help with the overall outlook of how you feel with your job and the tasks you need to work on?

Nothing's wrong with taking pride in your personal appearance. A clean, approachable, and presentable appearance also projects a picture of good health and fitness. It shows that you're not only taking pride in your physical appearance, but you're also proactive in eating right and exercising. You care about your general health. This isn't only a woman thing. This is man thing too. 

 Suppose you're working toward a more sculpted body, and you'd like to enhance the way you feel and look underneath your clothes. In that case, you can always use a gynecomastia compression shirt, which eliminates the look of gynecomastia or 'man boobs' in men. They provide a base layer that makes your clothes look sharp, impressive, and well-tailored. Whether or not you choose a compression tank top for gynecomastia, no one can tell the difference when you wear it.

The whole idea of looking good and taking pride in your appearance is about showing that you care, and make an effort in whatever it is you're participating in. Showing up looking disheveled, unprepared, and dirty in the pretense of being comfortable only shows the lack of care you show in the matters you're dealing with. Instead of showing that you're comfortable, it just shows that you have a sloppy and uncaring attitude. This will have the opposite reaction in people because you won't be taken seriously.
That's what Monique was talking about. That is what most if us are reflecting on these days.

When you are traveling showing up to the airport looking like you rolled out of bed is not a good look.  Ladies you are missing the opportunity to meet a gentleman. Gentlemen you are missing the chance at finding 'wifey'. 

Taking pride in your appearance isn’t being vain. It’s about looking good, feeling good, and behaving in the best way possible. Small upgrades to how you look,  pulling your hair back in to a clean pony tail  or giving yourself a good shave, a clean haircut, investing in proper skincare, and purchasing clothes that fit you well, are all small efforts that take you a long way. These self-grooming points are pretty basic, which doesn’t cost you much. 

Sure, you can dress comfortably, but it should be in the right place. Friday is a casual day at work? Then, wear jeans and a nice shirt.  Heading to the airport after a long weekend. ladies a summer dress with  hair in pony tail and  clean face is just fine. Don't take it too far by walking in with tattered jeans and a worn-out shirt. Gentlemen, invest in a pair of pants that fit that do  not show your underwear. 

It’s just simple, easy rules like this that show you take pride in your appearance. That's what she was saying. Take a little care in what you image you want to portray.
