I love clothes, and I pride myself in looking good whenever I step out of the house (maybe not all the time, because sweatpants are great). I don't have to wear a ball gown or anything, but if I go to class or go out to dinner, I make sure that my outfits look presentable because it makes me feel good and confident in myself. I have all of these nice shirts that I never really get a chance to wear so if I am going to the mall, that dress that I've been saving for a special occasion will totally work. Am I casually shopping? Do I have an interview? Do I have a hot date in just a few hours? Nobody will know! That's the beauty of fashion; people never know the reason for what you're wearing unless you give them one.

I feel my most confident in heels and all black. Why? Because I feel like a boss that is about to fire the computer tech who just wiped out the entire system for the second time this week. Black is such a powerful shade. I think you can make just as loud of statement in black as you can with any other bold color. There's a quote that says "good clothes makes you feel confident and improve the outcome of any activity," and I completely agree. Whenever I had a presentation for my college classes, I always donned my outfit with a sharp blazer. Not only did everyone tell me I looked so professional, but I had more confidence in my voice and I was able to present without seeming too nervous.

So if you have an interview, a presentation or you're just going to get the groceries, be that person to dress up. You are making a statement about yourself and people will remember you.
