The wonder of the wardrobe


I do know that you have a wardrobe. Don’t you? Can I ask you a question? How much importance have you attached to it? No so much. Isn’t it? Let’s briefly look at something interesting about a wardrobe - I mean your wardrobe.
Your wardrobe serves as a ‘robe’ that you put on (in your world). It’s more like a ‘world-robe’. You have your own world and so do I. We are in our own world where we have the authority to rule; we rule with our talent and skills. Any where you are expressing your skill and talent right now is your own world. But also know that this talent is (and can) never be enough.


In our world today, the most celebrated people around us are not usually the well talented people. The later are only perceived as talented/ skillful in what they do, or are doing. The way you appear will always determine how you will be perceived, which will affect how you will be appreciated. When you appear ‘dull’, you spread the rumor that you are ‘dull’. And that would go a long way affecting you performance and position in that environment. It’s also the other way round.


How we are perceived as human is becoming increasingly important in the ‘new economy’. Let me say it again: Your wardrobe is your world-robe; the symbol of your authority. You are only respected in the manner you express yourself. A king will only be respected as a king until put on the symbol of his authority. Your value as a person (king) in your own world rises and falls in harmony with your appearance. And this controls people perception of you, and what comes afterwards.


Find out what makes your look ‘click’ and hold unto it. More so, endeavor to ‘tweak your look’ to express your true individuality, making it more personal. Your perceived value of yourself is what will be appreciated and it may not even be your inherent value (what you really worth).


The power to control people’s perceived value of you is in your hand, is in the way you express yourself with some ‘panache’ through the power of your wardrobe.
