If you want to be seen, heard and remembered you are in charge of the impact your image is making on your viewer. You have 8-12 seconds to make an impression.  A positive impression will allow you to be heard with your content you want to share with others and their opinion is important  if they will recommend you or not or if they will return to hear more of what you are sharing.

If you are consistent at presenting yourself they will see you as more credible and be more willing to listen to what you have to say. You may not get to share with them if you are inconsistent so it is important for you to be sure you present yourself in a similar way each time you get dressed.

If you look fantastic one day and ho hum the next day people will wonder who you are the fantastic person or the ho hum person.  Those decisions will make a difference in the way they respond to us and even in their decisions to do business with us if we are in business or provide services to others.

Planning ahead for the types of garments we are wearing and how we are putting our looks together are important decisions.  Having the clothing in good repair is also important.  While activities and events will influence what we wear the primary goal is to remain consistent to the style we have developed for ourselves.

When you meet someone, there is about an 8-12 second period of time while decisions are being made about who you are and whether you are who you say you are. The saying “You never have a second chance to make a good first impression” is true.

That impression formed on your first meeting with another person, continues to influence your relationship with the person.You can overcome decisions that are not favorable to you but it does take a great deal of time and energy. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not something you can change and their opinion remains as the first one they had of you.

Proportion and fit influence the overall effect of the image of the clothing the most. Color changes with fashion and what is popular at the time so when finding the colors that appeal in clothing there might be several seasons between choices if the color you like is not in fashion at the time you are shopping for new items. Being comfortable with the color and style choices, regardless of what is popular in fashion, allows you to build a wardrobe that is functional and what I call a working wardrobe rather than a hanging wardrobe.

The weight of the fabric the clothing is made out of influences how warm the garments will be and different fibers also influence the warmth. Think about what your body temperature is and what fabrics feel the most comfortable to you. Some people have difficulty with wool and it itching when touching the skin. Interestingly enough, it can be the way the the fibers are woven or spun that cause the itching.

Of all of the things that contribute to the appearance of a garment on a person, the placement of the clothing is by far what makes the most impact in creating the finished impression that the garment makes as you are wearing it. The eye moves in a specific pattern as it scans and if the garments and accessories are placed on the body so the face is the place the eye rests, people will remember you and not what you are wearing. It is what should have the highest importance when selecting clothing.
