As you walk by the corridors of your school, you can’t help but notice people who actually have the “IT” factor or those few who actually stand out of the crowd. In this article that I’ve read, the writer, Claire Betita-Samson, says that it is not only about their appearances that they gain a star treatment but also because they have simply “upped” their visibility factor. One of the aspects that propels your visibility factor is your sense of style. The writer advises that if you get lost with everyone else during “gimmicks”, you should seek to appear effortless but arrive with a standout feature like green liner, super glossy lips, or sky-high heels. If you want to avoid negative comments, the writer also suggested that you should wear 50 percent safe and 50 percent stylish, such as a pair of pants with one gorgeous top like a ruffled halter. Also, if you don't want to be a wallflower during parties, try wearing accessories that are eye-catching such as those long necklaces with big pendants embellished with fake crystals. You can also pair this up with dramatic makeup like smoky eyes. However, if you want to be recognized at work, the key is to appear neat or put-together. If you work in a corporate setting, you should try owning one good suit rather than having several that are not so pleasing. Not only was the writer concerned about the appearance but also how a person could act in public places like speaking up and taking part in the conversation, socializing in a party other than social climbing, adopting a take-charge attitude and not a know-it-all attitude and lastly complimenting someone on her appearance or great work.
For this article, I do agree with the writer that style and attitude should go together if ever a person aims at increasing his shine factor. Sometimes people see you as a person on how you dress up. How would people know you’re the approachable or the sociable type if you do not dress appropriately depending on the condition? We have to at least look presentable. Know when to look classy, fired-up, safe or formal. We don’t go to formal gatherings in crumpled shirts and baggy shorts. So basically, dressing up is really important.
Furthermore, what I really like about this article is that it doesn’t only talk about fashion but also the kind of attitude or manner you should have. It isn’t generally concerned about fashion itself but also how it could complement other subjects as well so as to make a person’s life relatively better. This also doesn’t reach out to a specific few but to everyone who wants to learn on how to go about their sense of style and peers. The article doesn’t impose that you be a social climber but rather act like someone you would want to be with.
