Dressing is an important part of our lives. It impacts how people see us and it can also affect the way we are perceived. The saying, "You are addressed the way you are dressed" is not just a cliché — it reflects the importance of our appearance and how it influence our lives. On most occasions, people dress depending on their mood. Some people would rack their brains trying to find the perfect match for their outings just to look good and not become disgraced while some are experts in knowing what matches the other, from head to toe without any issue. The former speaks about me, I suck when it comes to dressing.
When people try to attack my dressing, I would give them the "I only dress to make me comfortable and not passing message to impress or oppress anyone" attitude, but they wouldn't listen to me.
There are times I would be sent back inside to find something reasonable to put on and it is a big dilemma finding what matches or not. Many times, when I have dressed up, I will look at myself in the mirror for as many times, still I won't be satisfied, not until I knock at someone's door just to inspect me and give me feedback. I wouldn't want to be seen like a nonentity outside.
I still don't know how to match colours together, which one will go with this? Should I take this or not? Sometimes, it gives me a headache trying to find the perfect mix and when the tension is high, I just lie down on the bed, getting angry at myself until I beckon on someone to come and help me out. Seriously, dressing is a hard job on its own and I hail those who do not find it hard to pick the right one.
When I am a little confused about the right match of outfit, I check Google or YouTube if there is any common one to the one I would be picking so that when I go outside, it doesn't seem as if I am the odd one among others. I have tried to learn how to pick without finding it stressful or hard but every time I try, I get frustrated. Another time, it would look as if something came to my mind helping me choose the right one and on other days, it turns into a battle, offloading all the clothes in my wardrobe while throwing them on the bed, it would still be my issue returning them to their space.
Why can't I just be good at something like this? It hurts me when I find it tough to find the right way to dress without asking for help and many times, I would ask myself, What if this person isn't around, won't I go out?
When I receive compliments on how beautiful I am in my outfit, I smile as I remember how long it took me to get that perfect dress. I want to be able to choose any dress without a hassle. When I look at people who dress well, I appreciate them and kind of wish I could do the same; perhaps they find it hard too but there are still people especially ladies who rock any dress elegantly by just choosing once and that is it.
Planning ahead or not, it is still a big problem to get a perfect dress and shoes to go with. The only time I feel comfortable is when I have dressed and received a good compliment on it. But it doesn't make me stop asking for feedback before I leave home because I always have it at the back of my hand that we would be addressed the way we are dressed.
