Relations between our appearance and our mind.

When I talked with my boss at my company, she said “If you want to be more mature, the best thing to do is to take care of your appearance first. Surely, I thought when I wear a suit, I can feel brace myself up and when I arrange my hair and put make up on, I can feel confident.

　Then, I searched about the relation between our appearance and our feelings. I found an interesting story. Do you know Coco Chanel? She advanced women’s status in society when it was male dominated society. At that time, it was like an obligation for women to wear a heavy dress and a corset. But she made punts styles, simple hats and jersey material dresses for women. These styles are completely different from feminism at that time. However, her thought about women have a right to live by themselves accepted by society and she got support from many people. Her clothes and thought encouraged women’s social advance.

　It takes time to change our mind and thought, but I learned it’s easy to change our appearance. Our appearance enormously influenced us. From now, I want to care about my appearance first and then gradually try to change my mind.
