It’s better to Overdress than Underdress!
This summer
I have been enrolled in a Business Environmental Law class. Sometimes it’s a pretty intriguing class, but
other times, it just makes my head spin.
I mean it’s Business Law! The
name itself is mind boggling. Luckily,
class ends tomorrow at 5 p.m. Unluckily,
I still have to study for the final.
I have been known to find many
other things to do instead of studying: sorting and washing laundry, cleaning
my room, painting my nails, catching up on social media and watching TV, just to
name a few. However, for this class, I
have been studying a LOT!
When it
comes to studying, “it’s better to over study than under study”. This is also my philosophy when it comes to
fashion. It is SO much better to
overdress than underdress!
Have you
ever walked into a room where everyone is dressed to the nines and you’re the
one wearing your workout clothes and sneakers, looking like you didn’t get the
memo? Or, maybe it’s been the reverse,
and you’re the one wearing the pink bunny costume, like Elle Woods, in a sea of
underdressed people. Regardless of the
situation, it is ALWAYS better to overdress.
When Elle
Woods realized that she was a little overdressed for the occasion, she made the
best of her situation by wearing her costume with pride. It’s that kind of pride that also makes us
confident when we overdress, which in turn, makes us stand out in the
crowd. Who doesn’t love standing out?!
Sometimes overdressing doesn’t
seem worth it, especially on busy days or days when you’re dragging. I sometimes find myself wondering if it is
really necessary to dress nice when I need to make a quick run into the grocery
store. However, as I stated in my last
post, when it comes to school, work, social activities and just being in
the public eye, fashion is key!
I, being the fashion lover that I am,
get a little ruffled when I go into public places and see people in clothing
that is just NOT good. Examples I’ve
seen recently include an adult wearing her swimsuit in a place where there was no pool, folks in clothes
that were way too tight or too small, and even a man walking through a store with
no shoes, no shirt and obviously, no problems.
This makes me wonder, did they not get the memo?
This is why I dress as if I’m going to
meet someone SPECTACULAR every day. When
I run into the convenient store, go to work, attend class or spend the day
watching movies with friends, I overdress.
In case you’re still not convinced, I’ve made a short list
of some reasons why you should consider living each day in a fashionable way.
1) Life
is too short to blend into the crowd. We are all made to be unique and stand
out. How can we do that if we don’t try
to break the mold?
2) You
never know who you are going to bump into.
Today might be the day that you bump into your ex, an old
friend or a celebrity. (That may be a
long shot, but you never know!) So do
you want them to see you in your old painting clothes?
3) You
deserve to look your best every day. Getting
dolled up is a confidence boost, and confidence is radiant!
4) Nothing
beats that feeling of knowing you look good.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it! That’s why I love fashion; it allows you to
flaunt your curves, style and confidence, all at once.
5) Lastly,
you should overdress because you want to.
Don’t let the less fashionable get you down. Overdress because it is what you want to do!
Stay Sassy,
Fashionably Sassy and Stylishly Classy
