Clothes are never a frivolity: they always mean something, and that something is to a large extent outside the control of our conscious minds. James Laver
If dressing is to 'a large extent outside the control of our conscious minds' it makes the Thoughtful Dresser a bit of a contradiction.
I think the trick is embracing the pattern set by the whole mind (conscious and unconscious) and accepting intuitions about what to wear when without too much thought, but then paying conscious attention to the detail.
How we choose to create our appearance is a message that we are sending - partly conscious and partly unconscious.
ReplyDeleteOh that is wonderful.
