Style Tip of the Day: Make a fool of yourself

I know I know... You prolly think I'm outta my mind to say this.
If so, that means you still dunno me enough! Don't you know I'm the daredevil who likes to dare what people normally say? I enjoy challenging the society norms & rules.

I made an astounding discovery.
A revelation.
The 5 compelling reasons as to why Singaporeans dress sloppishly.

After close to 20 years of observing office people from all kinds of industries, jobs, personalities, ages, shapes & sizes, the style puzzle is finally solved.

The Style Puzzle:
"Why are most Singaporeans
- dressed themselves like aunties when they are only in their 30s?
- dressed like every other office lady or blue-collar worker seen in shenton way everyday?

Why do most Singaporeans continue to put on tasteless clothes day in & out and ended up looking like everyone else?

Why most Singaporeans keep buying fashion magazines monthly YET learning nothing from them?

Here's 5 compelling reasons we dug out from their souls.

1) The hardwiring beliefs or self concept they have about themselves likely from their upbringing, culture & environment that conditioned them to continue to live every single day.

2) They blame it on their jobs or industry or their bosses to require them to dress like so.

3) They are simply too lazy to think of what to wear everyday.

4) They are just too tired to think about dressing up and with their half awake eyes, pick out any piece of striped shirt or plain top from their wardrobe before rushing out the door every morning.

5) They simply don't know how to dress up or look stylish.

Good news is,
you are free to change this thinking & your style anytime you choose to.
I'll get to that in a while.

But why are you still stuck?

Because you are afraid of standing out.
Afraid of looking like a sore thumb?
Afraid to look like an eagle among the pigeons?
To look like you own the world?
Or simply just to express yourself & be yourself, comfortably?
To make yourself happier?
The desire to change is SIMPLY NOT STRONG ENOUGH!

Are you afraid of making yourself happy?

Some people I know & live everyday that they are living their lives on autopilot mode, living to make others but themselves happy.
They simply exist, not living the life they dream of.

I ask you to DARE.

Dare to.. Make a fool of yourself.

Look at the most fashionable icons around.
They are doing something others are not doing.
They dare to look different.
To move out of their comfort zone.
To take the risk, play & have fun.
To be curious enough to experiment new things.
Everything comes from the desire.
