Assume You're Homeless.

However, if you look at it from a different standpoint. You raised the point of first impressions. If clothing aids in defining first impressions... then even if a poor person is poor and they spend it on nice clothing they will emit the senseb of wealth to others they first meet... Faking wealth... perhaps that can get you a better job? get you real wealth? or get you a rich husband? It demonstrates the wants of this person... so even if they may not have money... money is who they are. Money is what they emit.

I'm a fashion tart.

I love shoes and Clothing. I'm not an accesorizor though... but I have to say. I like to dress in a trendable manner. I like my high heels...

But I vary muchly when it comes to dress wear. I can often be caught in a pair of torrid army pants and a wife beater...

Both these fashion statements emit a sense to others and each time I meet someone with different types of clothing new ideas are trigerred about who we are.

This is a broad statement however... as there are some people who are able to see beyond the clothing.

All in all. I like to be attractive... I like to feel beautiful, and i do spend a pretty penny on maintaining my appearance... but all in all it hasn't helped me at all find a guy that is right for me. In fact, I think the way I dress can terrify some of the guys, make them feel shy or not good enough... or maybe better than.

But should I change the way I look? Nahhhhh.

I like to wear t-shirts that have a clever geeky image, word, or phrase. People think I'm a geek based upon it, so it works out.

I also wear baggy pants because it makes my legs look bigger in proportion to my fat body, which is usually clothed with a dark color shirt to hide shadows and continue to help the illusion that I'm not quite as fat as I really am.

It's loads easier than working out or (god forbid) eating right.

I don't care what other people say.
