Me and My Dressing

 The other day we were watching a drama. There was a character of a royal lady. She looked pretty tall among all other female characters. I asked myself if she is really taller than others or there is something else that makes her look distinguished. In scenes where she was standing right beside other actresses, it was clearly visible that her height wasn’t that high from others. “Then what is the thing that adds inches to her appearance?” I thought. The first thing that came to my mind as the answer was her attire. Yes, the dress she was wearing had a lot to do in designing her personality. Was her dress too much different from other characters? Mmmmmm. Not that much. Yes it had royal touch but there were some other characters dressed up in royal fashion. However, her head-wear was clearly distinguished from all the other characters. It surely had a portion to add in her unique appearance. Nonetheless, I don’t think that a dress alone is enough to give you a charismatic appearance. I have seen two people wearing the same dress. One looks outstanding while the other one looks just ordinary. It is not necessary that something looking cool on someone else would give the same effect to me. The result might be opposite. While dressing up it is quite important to keep your body's shape and size in consideration. There was a time when I was slim, short Kurti and trousers suited me. Now, when I have gained weight, the style doesn’t suit me at all. I have replaced those short kurtis with longer shirts. I have seen this happening quite often that people tend to follow the trends blindly whether or not it suits them. Consequently, it impacts negatively on their looks. While it is important to select an apt dress for your body’s requirements, it is also crucial to learn the art of carrying it. An upright body posture gives you a confident look. Along with it facial expressions and moment of body parts from head to toes add to your dressing sense. I am not someone who gathers piles of dresses in my wardrobe and remain confused in deciding what should be worn. I keep on removing the clutter by giving away the dresses that no longer fit or suit me. This way not only space is created in the cupboard but also selection of a dress is becomes easier. I am a house wife and a stay-at-home mother. For casual wear, the selection is easier than ABC. I just select a dress that suits the weather. A clean and ironed dress goes well. As I mentioned before, I don’t keep that much dresses; so dressing up for a formal gathering is not a difficult task either. For parties and gatherings I have a small selection of fancy dresses kept in a separate shelf. It takes only a few minutes to decide which dress would suit the demand of the gathering. For a function like wedding ceremonies, I select brighter and heavier dresses. For get together kind of gatherings, I go for lighter dresses. This way “less is more” formula helps saving my day while selecting a dress to put on.
