Clothes Make the Person

I don't care how superficial that title sounds but secretly every single one of you who just read it was like 'mmmh, yeah.' Now, please don't jump to conclusions (I feel like I always jump to the conclusion that you all are jumping to conclusions when in reality everyone needs to just calm the fuck down. Myself included.) and assume that I'm saying that you have to be wearin' Gucci and Prada, spendin' dolla after dolla. Because anyone who knows me knows my love of Target and cheap shopping. What I'm saying is that as nonmaterialistic as you might be, when you put on something you love and think you look good in, ya freakin' feel great. Especially if that something(s) was dirt cheap. For example. I am currently (without shoes on) wearing an $11 outfit, and am in L-O-V-E with it. Add some borrowed jewelery, some gifted eyeliner (fab) and maybe some thrifted flats...grand total $25 max. And if you think you look good, you feel good. And if you feel good, the people around you feel good. And the sonic wave of lookin' and feelin' super fly continues. Be honest, how great does it feel when a complete stranger goes out of their way to compliment you. IT'S LIKE, THE BEST THING EVER! And, psych studies have shown that after being on the receiving end of a good deed/compliment that you have a high likelihood of passing it on. Meaning the cycle lives on. Basically, what I'm saying is don't go out and buy a completely new designer wardrobe, but be freaking fabulous in whatever it is that makes you feel like a million bucks (which, with inflation the way it is...oh never mind). Whether than be the newest Coach sneakers (ew, please no) or your oldest, most reliable pair of skinny jeans. And pass on. The world can always use a little more fabulous.
