I love the second quote.. its very true!

If only I had learned #3 as a young man!

Big fan of #1. Two nights ago, a taxi driver told me I look like royalty.

SHABAM!

I can't not express just how true I believe those first two quotes really are. When I read the first quote I just had to share the first quote with my friends on Facebook.

In relation to the first quote, I believe more so that it is how a person carries/presents themselves that is what people remember most. What cloths they wear are just added BAM.

Often times the way a person is dressed reflects how they feel or their personality, intentional or not. I like to think my sense of fashion has evolved since my early years and that the way I dress compliments my persona (the way others perceive me and most importantly how I perceive myself). If I'm feeling confident, happy and outgoing I'm likely going to dress in that way (that is how I perceive it). Others will likely perceive it that way as well because my cloths are a reflection of that. And not only that but because they will be able to sense it and see it because of the way I carry/present myself.
