Most people think that a personal shopper is a luxury they can't afford, which I do understand but I thought I would suggest 10 things you can afford less than me
- Spending one day in an uncomfortable suit or shirt
- Buying a garment simply for its label
- Traipsing from store to store searching for the Golden Goose
- Confusing style with fashion
- Owning a closet full of forgettable clothes
- Confusing value with price
- Being "helped" by a salesperson on commission
- Sacrificing style, fit, or fabric in tailoring
- Being less than well dressed and comfortable
- Letting yourself believe that you'll get around to things
When it comes to things that are outside our comfort zone or specific area of expertise we all procrastinate, its natural to try and avoid these things. The fact is that the world we live in is image driven, whether we like it or not, we judge and are judged. So my question is, why so many people put themselves at a disadvantage by undermining their self esteem? Confidence is paramount to effective performance in anything we do as humans, feeling uncomfortable or unsure affects you, so if given the opportunity to effect a significant improvement why not take advantage of it?
Putting it in economic terms you are wasting your resources, time and money amongst them. In the long run it is always significantly cheaper to get things absolutely right the first time.
A good style shows no sign of effort. What is worn should seem a happy accident. -- SOMERSET MAUGHAM
