From when we are five years old right up until, at the very minimum, we are eighteen, we go to school to learn…We learn some general subjects as well as those specialized to help us determine the career path we want to take in our life, but not only that, we learn how to interact with others, we learn how to be respectful all whilst we are growing and coming into ourselves. So if we spend all this time learning and honing our interactional skills, learning capabilities and maturity, why would we not do the same when it comes to our appearance? After all…in a world where judgements are rampant and our appearance is very often how people determine whether or not they want to do business with us, we should spend as much time if not more, learning and developing our presentation (and I mean personal appearance presentation) skills!
The challenge we face is that it is not as clear cut as school studies, relationship skills or even leadership skills. So how do we grow our personal presentation capabilities? Some people have innate skills, while others have to work a little harder, but the good news is that no matter how good we are, we can all learn more.
I will let you all into some of my secrets, which are pretty simple and I am sure you could figure them out even if I didn’t tell you (but just in case)…
I love new seasons, and I especially love that we get all 4 seasons here in Utah because it gives me the chance to change my look every few months (although I must say that I am sooo ready for this rain to top and for hot days right now)! Changing seasons allows me to keep my look fresh, change it up and adapt…
Even if you don’t remember anything else about this post, I want you to take this away with you…continue to learn about style. Just like in anything else, it is not something where one day we can say we have learned all we can learn…things are always changing, new styles are coming out and old ones are being repurposed . That is why we need to keep it fresh. Don’t be a follower or just stuck in your ways, find new ways to present yourself in the best way possible for your personality, body type and coloring. I promise if you do this, you will feel more self-confidence and people will be attracted to that (whether it be business or personal relationships)…
Happy Hump Day!
