You've probably heard the saying "dress for success", right? Referring to dressing for the job you want to land, etc... Well, I am all for that, however, I would like to discuss this idea, but propose that we view it from a different angle.
I, like all the people who you have heard speak on this topic, fully agree that you should "dress for success". However, I would like to suggest that the way you should dress, along with the way you present yourself on the outside (from your hair, your makeup, your accessories, etc...) are all a mirror image, or better yet, SHOULD be, a reflection of who you are on the inside.
Before you dress yourself on the outside, you must first focus on who you are on the inside. If you do not know who you are on the inside, this may be an issue for you. Who you are spiritually is who you truly are. Once you realize this and can work on this part of you, then you can see how you look on the outside is a reflection of who you are on the inside...
Should your main focus be on what you wear? No. As you are a steward of your spirit and soul, you are also a steward of your body. This, is why I believe that how you present the part of you that others see is extremely important.
Choose clothing in colors and styles you like and look good wearing. Do your hair and makeup to look nice. If you want to change your hairstyle, cut it, grow it, dye it. Do some research on different makeup styles, copy other people's makeup looks, get a free makeover at a department store. Accessorize with complimentary items. If you feel great on the inside, you should feel and look just as good on the outside.
God gave us each a unique body for us to to be a steward of. You should eat healthy, work out, work on looking great on the inside, and the outside!
