I believe studies have shown that it takes as little as 30 seconds for someone to assess a stranger. Therefore I would like my appearance to convey my personality and lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-my-take#post-87368 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:48:17 +0000 April 87368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Kathleen - great post! </p> <p>I have wondered myself whether this interest in appearance betrays a certain shallowness, but have made some level of peace with it by paying attention to how it makes me feel when I'm satisfied with how I look. </p> <p>Basically, when I'm confident about what I'm wearing, I can then forget about it and focus on issues of greater consequence. When I have thrown on something that I think is frumpy (or, just as bad but more rare, too "flashy") it distracts me all day.</p> <p>Pay attention in the morning, then forget it all day. Seems like a good tradeoff to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-my-take#post-87349 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:49:45 +0000 Kristen 87349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kathleen, I went to read your blog, and I have a technical suggestion: can you increase the font size that you're using? Everything was so tiny I couldn't actually read it! It looks like you're at 8-point, and probably 10 or 12 would be much better visually. Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-my-take#post-87312 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 04:06:00 +0000 Kathleen 87312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I mentioned in The Styles of Academia thread that I was going to post a blog on my take, so here it is. </p> <p><a href="http://artistic-java.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://artistic-java.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Enjoy ... I hope! </p>
