Just the other day
I am sitting in my office and behold the frail thought. A co worker walks up to me and ask me the infamous question. Hey Kem, "where did you get that tie?" He went on for about 15 minutes as to how he wants to dress better but can not seem to ding anything that will fit his body type, because he has spent the last few years pigging out do to his fair of failing at his marriage. At the point when it began to get graphic, and limit the amount of our time he began to waste, I gestured to answer his question. I purchased the tie some time ago when I was in college for a student union banquet that was held, so I dont know exactly, but I hung on to it because it is one of the first ties that I owned. "It is so up to date and on par with what you are wearing," he replies. "That it is," I continued. Although what I think he was asking me at the time was how can I dress the way you do? That was the impression that I picked up from him. Too many people go shopping to look like others, I once did it myself, and every now and then I make that mistake, and hit the mall running with some idea of a character I seen on television or at the local club.
What works for one person does not always work for another. This is why I stress the importance of first finding out what you like, what colors best suite your taste, and what colors work for the mood you are attempting to set. Many make a huge mistake and try to go shopping with other in mind, and neglect themselves in the process. This is a costly mistake, in all meaning of the phrase.
Here is a scenario: You walk into a mall with a David Beckham Build, and walk out with a homer Simpson wardrobe. It does not work at all, it will be too loose, it will not show of your stature and your will not reveal yourself. In a few short words, you lack confidence. So in knowing this, you must take the much needed steps and build upon who you are first. From that point you can apply your projected self image into the realm of the living.
