The clothes and jewelry we wear send a powerful message to those we come in contact with and is especially important when it comes to first impressions.
Our fashion choices affect…
- how we feel about ourselves
- the impression we make on others, and
- how they behave towards us.
The way you dress can affect how that first date goes, whether you get the job, or how well your speech or presentation is received.
Back in the day, clothes were worn for practical reasons – to keep us warm and dry. Now, our clothes are social markers instead and help us to convey our personality.
Here are a few examples of personalities and how you can use brooches as your social language.
The Fun-Seeker
The fun-lover has a cheery, bubbly and outgoing personality. They’re not afraid of color, or large and extravagant designs. They attract groups to them and use their jewelry as a conversation-starter.
