Dress to impress! Who hasn’t heard this phrase? I guess we all have!

First impression is important! There are so may scientific reasons for that and I am not here to deny its importance.

My point is the way we go about it.

To be honest one of the primary questions we ask ourselves the moment we are invited somewhere is “What am I going to wear?”

Right, our style plays a big role in the first impression we make and more importantly it boosts our confidence and that is important.

But, our outfit doesn’t and can’t fix everything! There is a limit to it!

But, it takes a lot of peoples attention, and most the effort goes into appearing the best as possible.

What is the other factor?

There are so many little factors that play huge role in the first impression, the smile, the way we talk, our tone, the way we react, the things we say, etc. If you want to use one word for all these little factors you can say the other factor, is our personality and the who we are as a person.

No stylist, no brand can improve this part for you. It doesn’t matter how well you look or how expensive your clothes are! If you don’t work on your personality and who you are, you can’t have the best impression possible! Not even gold can cover this part!

Why Such a Big Factor Gets Ignored so often?

1- Because brands, stylist, and virtual style platforms cannot fix it for you. So there is no point in bringing that up, there is no profit, there is no good in that for them.

2- Because styling is a quick fix, but personality growth is a very deep topic and takes lots of time, energy, and effort. We are always looking for quick fixes and we like people who makes us believe that we are right and it is actually doable!

And that is why you hear

“Dress to Impress”

more that you should!

Look at the two graphs below.

1- Simple look, rich personality

At the beginning of your timeless style journey, you might not feel the most confident about how you look. Unfortunately, that feeling can show up in the way you act, the things you say and finally the impression you make. That impression probably won’t match up to your expectations.

Experiences like that might draw the wrong attention. It makes you overrate the importance of your style, your outfit, your look and underrate the importance of your personality, and the way you behave in making the perfect first impression.

Do not let that happen. Talk with confidence, be you and let others see that!

I created the graph below to visually show you the impression a person can make with a simple look but a rich and confident personality. Look where you can end up in their eyes at the end of your full interaction with them.

Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

And don’t worry about the length of your human interaction with them. That doesn’t matter. What matters is the way you make them feel in the time you have! 🙂

Now, let’s analyze the second case scenario.

2- Elegant look, poor personality

On the other hand, there might be a person who spent lots of time, effort and money into looking good and creating the perfect personal image.

Yes, this person can make people turn, she can capture everyones attention and you and I might envy her. But this illusion can only last if her personality can make up to her look. And if not, the bubble pops.

If the real you is not beautiful, Dior, Gucci, and Louis Viutton can’t fix that. Yes they might buy you fake respect but in peoples eyes, you don’t hold high value. It will look like below!

And I am sure you have seen people like those a lot in your life and you know what I am talking about!

Now compare the two case scenarios. Who really wins?

“Invest your time, money and effort wisely. “

Now imagine what can happen when you work on both your personal image and your personality! You can make the most powerful impression and hold the highest values. And our goal at Why Before Buy is to get you there!

So, Why did I bring this up in my blog?

• Because my goal is to empower you while I help you achieve the perfect look!

• Because I want women with beautiful personalities to be more empowered by their inner self, rather than the apparel they are wearing.

• Because I want you to invest your time and energy wisely!I see many people focusing on their look way more than they should and neglecting other factors that they should be paying attention to. When a person plays around the look factor too much and doesn’t get what they had in mind, they style harder, they try to be bolder, they do anything other than what they actually need to be doing! That is not what we want here. We want powerful, mindful, stylish women! 😉
