Perception is Reality

You're a really intelligent, worldly, and well-rounded young woman. The problem is, your wardrobe and hair say something else. In a perfect world, no one would be judged by outer appearances, but by the content of their character and the charm of their personality. In the real world, people are "what you see is what you get" types. You could have just gone on "Jeopardy" and taken the grand prize, but ladies if you dress like a slut, you're going to be perceived as one. You may very well have a job, and even do that job quite well and with a smile on your face; but if you're wondering why you keep getting passed up for that promotion, take a look in the mirror. Is your hair a natural color that matches your complexion? Does your makeup look natural? Are your pants too tight? Top too low-cut? Love it or hate it, all of these things play a part in every aspect of your life. Making these small tweaks to your style can have many positive effects, including more respect on the job, a better quality of service in stores, even the type of men you attract! Sorry ladies but if you look easy that's how guys are going to treat you. If you're over a certain age--and I'm thinking 25ish here--certain looks and hairstyles should be deaded anyway. I know sex sells but if you aren't trying to sell your goodies, then it should be classy sexy style and not trashy style. No one is saying that if you're 28 to dress like you're 48. You can show a little skin and still be classy. Just know where that cut-off point is! I know some of you are going to say that it shouldn't matter and that if you like a certain type of hairstyle or hair color or style of clothing you're going to wear it regardless. That is fine. Just keep note of the negative labels that will be bestowed upon you for doing so. Alot of women look BETTER when given a "make under". You are still you, just a more presentable version of you!
