Do my clothes Reveal the Real Me?

Me my mother often argued about the clothes I should wear. “It’s not too short you are just being old fashioned!” Off I ran to my room. The grand finale to a quarrel over a skirt I wanted to wear. And perhaps we have been center of this familiar controversy when our parents, teacher or other elders criticized some outfit we love. We called it casual they called it sloppy. We called chic, they called it gaudy or suggestive. Admittedly, tastes vary and I do have the right to my own opinions. But would it mean anything goes upon the way we dress? What I wear is really who I am and how I feel about myself. It will affect my social relationship with the other people. For me, clothing sends out a message a statement to others about who I am. This can whisper stability and high moral standards. Or it can also shout rebellion and discontent. It can even serve as a form on identification. And I know that it can affect my emotional feelings because in a way that my clothing also sends out my mood or my feeling. I want to inform others on who is this girl they are facing. Sometimes I see some people wearing ripped clothing, punk style dresses or expensive designer clothe as a type of their trademark. But should this mean that we need a lot of money to have our own trademark? But others use clothing to allure the opposite sex or to make they appear older than who they really are. Yes, the way we dress could attract other people especially the opposite sex. We want to be attractive to our admirers and to our crush because we want them to know that we deserve. But sometimes it will disappoint others especially those people who expect too much from us “The way we dress has a remarkable impact on the people we meet and this greatly affects on how they treat us.” No wonder my parents are just concerned about the way I dress. Remembered, when I’m just a kid my parents are always the one who decide the dress that I should wear. It should be a formal one when going to church or to any other occasions. I really felt jealous on other children of my age because they are wearing cargo pants and punk style dresses but here I am, a weird girl wearing an old fashioned dress. To my parents it is more than a personal taste. They want me to send out the right message, the one that projects me as a balanced, responsible and a moral individual while I’m just in my young age. Then, I realized that even a dress could determine the true me and how could I get along with other people. It’s not that how my peers pressured me for what should I wear but what I want the other people to get my inner message. The message that says, “I’m a girl who was educated by my parents… A girl who deserves a respect and respects other. I’m not a flirt girl; I’m the conservative one. Does the way you dress, however accomplish the right message you want to send out? What gives you the guide in selecting your clothing? So be sure to handle the way you dress not on how others wanted you to do so but how you want other people to know who you really are. Because for me ‘ My clothes reveal the real me!’
