Fashion assumptions

Had no work today......so decided to go into town and soak up the athmosphere early afternoon.....while the crowds were still keeping at bay. Anyhooo.....I decided to dress up a bit.....have a bit of fun and have to admit (my head and ego are expanding as we speak)...I did look yummy enough to eat.

I was at one of the stalls in the Christmas Market.....and before I even opened my mouth....the man spoke to me in English.....which is weird because most often the opposite happens...they first speak to me in German. Was it something about the way I was dressed/different style to the normal Swiss? Also.....he made some comments, which at once became clear that he thought I was an office executive....which I most definitely am not. All down to what I was wearing.

It kind of goes to show the assumptions (positive, negative, neutral) we can all make, myself included, albeit subconsciously about a person, stemming from what they are wearing. The power of the cloth! The power of how you look to others....and to yourself.....even down to the way you compose yourself differently between wearing baggy jeans or a sharp suit.....

Here's to style......
