It also occurs to me that you are acting more like a man does in being confrontational with the shoe boy. You want a double standard it seems because you want one thing and act another way to meet your objectives. What you want is to be taken seriously, yet you turn right around and fall prey to the very thing you despise. Odd. It seems to me that you are trying to be taken seriously, that is good.

As a fashion stylist who also works as an image consultant, I will say you can never make a second impression. So yes as people will judge you within 5 seconds of seeing you, it's imperative to always look your best....be it casual or formal. You never know when you will look into the eyes of your next boss, significant other or someone else of great consequence in your life when you are just rushing out the door in your torn up sweats for a carton of milk. Remember too that image is about your body language, mannerisms, the words that come out of your mouth, and your attitude that is either cheerful, elitist, off-putting, or graceful. There is only one you so take the power in your hands to the best you you can be. Interesting blog and excuse me, I just perused it slightly.

No one is saying to be a fashion victim, but look like you care. Look like whoever you say you are. If you say you are a creative, smart, intelligent, and a successful writer, artist, musician, IT, then looking the part won't hurt. We do not want to hear you say it. We want to see it. We make judgements all the time about others and you definitly do not want your appearance to be the reason why you do not get whatever it is you want in life. You may not be able to control what others think of you, but you can control what you project and there are no excuses. Bills, mortgage and kids are not excuse to look less than 100% Your attitude about your work, and whether your ideas are current and up to date will be reflected in your personal appearance. If dark wash jeans are in to convey comfort yet professionalism and you show up at a client meeting with light colored jeans that do not flatter your figure, you are not current in your ideas. Your style, your appearance, your grooming matters if not more than half than your "hard work" As an entrepreneur and image consultant, it's important how we present ourselves.
