The way we dress expresses who we are and the extent to which we enjoy having fun with fashion. And like any form of artistic expression, it has an audience. The question is, who is your audience? When you wake up in the morning and get dressed, who is it for?

Is it for a partner, significant other or spouse? Is it for a prospective partner? Work colleagues and peers? Your boss? Friends and family? The blogosphere? Strangers walking by? Or is it purely for yourself?

My audience is probably a combination of all the above. As much as I dress for myself, I dress for other people too. I take an interest in fashion and style because it’s a delightful hobby and because dressing well makes me feel that I can take on the world. I dress for others because I want them to perceive me as a well put together individual. I dress for my spouse because I want him to find me attractive. Furthermore, fashion and style are my bread and butter and many of the people I meet are potential clients or YLF readers. I literally can’t afford to have a bad style day!

Who is your style audience? Has it changed over time? Does your style audience appreciate your efforts?
