Clothes define who we are and what we like. It is and has always been a part of ourselves, etched deep into our thought processes. What we choose to buy that we think is perfect for us to wear isn't something that simply comes out on a proper whim, it is something that has been building inside of us. Our style choices are a wonderful way to tell people who we are as a person, what we believe in and what we want as well. Everything that we wear, from upper to bottoms, and even till the undergarments, they all speak a common tongue that tells us a lot about ourselves. They also convey us the message of what and how are we all feel. If we are feeling particularly spicy, they tell us that by the choice of garment that we wear on that particular day. If we are feeling blue, or morose for any reason, the color of our clothes defines that as well and we automatically choose to wear clothes that redirects to what we are feeling at the very moment.
