Dress Up & Show Up

    I know so many people who absolutely ache to wear nice things but are too afraid to buck this excessively casual trend we're stuck in.  I also know that it's hard to stand out from the crowd, but to me it feels harder to be miserable following along with everyone else.  If you dress up you'll inevitably face scrutiny and questions like, "why are you all dressed up?" The implication there is that if you don't have a darn good reason you are probably just thirsty for attention or showing off.  
    Dressing well isn't about showing off; it's about showing up.  It's not about vanity; it's about value.  The science is in; how you dress affects your mood, how you carry yourself and how you perform in your work and relationships.  When you dress well, you're showing up in your own life.  It's about valuing yourself enough to dress like it.  Nothing more.
