I think what we wear absolutely gives off signals about us. I think they at least have to be a shallow part of the blink phenomenon and the idea that you know everything you need to about a person within seconds of meeting them. Those signals we send are often either excluding or welcoming. The problem with it being exclusive is that people often get filtered out for vapid reasons. It puts a new spin on getting ready in the morning that is for sure. Candice,

Most of the time, I feel I can't connect to people because I don't fit into a certain mold they think I should fit into. I went through a similar journey as you, and it's empowering to realize you don't have to keep up a certain look to communicate who you are to others. This type of mentality only comes after some deep looking into yourself, and it's sad that some don't reach that point. XOXO Yes, being open and free is the way to go.

But its a valid point, i keep my hair its natural colour and natural waviness for a reason as opposed to dying it a reddish colour or something. But does calling it a mask imply we are hiding what we really are? or does what we wear really give off a signal as to who we are? this is an extremely good post, the idea that even if we’re not plastered in make up and dont have crazy hair is still some kind of mask expressing who we are in some way is really interesting.
