Your clothes don't define you, or maybe they do!

I couldn't agree more with the above quote. What you wear really does have a huge effect on how you feel, and that is why I pay great attention to the gear I wear. It's all cheap crap, but I try to put it together well. 

I got this skull t-shirt from Wal-Mart, but I don't think you'd ever guess if cost $7.50. 

I tried an experiment the other day. I was lacking in confidence, I didn't even know if I could get out of the car to go into the shop. I felt old, fat and embarrassed. So I decided to pretend I was the opposite. I walked into the shop with swag and a bounce in my step. I was extra charming to anyone I spoke to, including giving a big thank you to the young girl at the self service check outs. It was obvious that no one ever thanked her for over seeing all these tills, but I went up to her and said thank you, and walked away, she seemed shocked and smiled and followed me with her eyes all the way out of the store. Now it could have been because she was thinking I was an arsehole, but I think it was because she saw me as cool and confident, even if I am old and fat. I didn't feel confident at all, but damn, I faked it well. As Tinie Tempah said, be confident in what you wear, and it really works.
