Clothing definitely affects mood. When you put on that outfit that makes you feel attractive, pretty, handsome, skinny - you tend to feel better about your life that day. For some reason, when you think you look good, you perform better at work, you interact with people better; you just do better. When we have big meetings, interviews, or important social functions, we dress to impress - not just others, but we dress to impress ourselves, so that in turn, we impress others.
Today, I did not let clothing dictate my mood, but instead, I let my mood take precedent over my need to impress. I just wanted to be warm and comfy, it was that simple. So I threw on jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie. I am not trying to impress, turn heads, or feel powerful. I am just reveling in comfort. Today, I am grateful for the times I can detach from the societal pressures of needing to look good in order to feel good, and just simply be me. And still feel good.
