Questioning Display

When we were younger, how we dressed, how we looked, did not matter to any of our peers. Now it's so popular to determine '"your kind" with the way of dress. It's mindless really. But anyways, as we get older, some take it into advantage. Many people's outward appearances are deceptive, many do so to decline attention from specific people. I know, if I dress up in 9 inch heels and a tight fitted skirt, the attention it'll bring is overwhelming. Now, if I were to dress up in baggy clothes and hair messy everyday, I'd still get negative attention, but in a different way, where people would stay away. Society has constructed the idea to dress to impress, which in some cases is sensible, but others over dramatic. People decide to spend hours on appearance, wasting valuable time of life. A couple of minutes is all that is needed, because beauty is natural. That's my opinion of course though. Many things we value is empty, like top notch accessories, and the brand name shoes... but some things we do value is substantial, like family, and holidays together, quality time and vacations.
Looks and money do not matter to me in a significant other really, as long as they hold an outstanding personality. What I will admit is, I should not have to support my significant other twenty four seven, with him doing nothing around. That's as far as I'll go. Some people look for more wealthy people, automatically thinking they will have all the qualities they've searched for. But people learn along the way appearance and status are inconsequential.

  1. This blog was excellent. I could agree with you throughout this blog. Do you feel how you dress has people making harsh assumptions of you?

    1. Sometimes yes, but depending on the outfit and my attitude of the day I can brush it off. People seem to judge on clothes which is so ignorant.

  3. Even though we know we are being shallow, we still continue to behave superficially. Why is that?

    1. I think it has to do with how we were raised, or how the human race has been like that. We compete with every living organism, finding ourselves more or less superior, I think that's why people judge.
