Lately it feels like more women are in tune with their image and with the stereotypes that come attached to it. What you wear, how you talk and how you style your hair all send a message before you say a word. Some people are so aware of this that they use their image as a shield, and it can hide who they really are.
Picture someone who looks studious. She wears glasses, rocks her natural hair and keeps her makeup simple. On paper, you would guess she is reserved and serious. Now picture someone with a long weave, high heels, a designer bag and a full face of makeup. Would you believe her if she told you she was shy, or that she was saving for a house? Most of us would hesitate, and that hesitation is the whole point.
The truth is that everyone gets pre judged. Judging a book by its cover is the norm, and the cover is often chosen on purpose. That is where image and truth can drift apart, and it is one reason people end up confused about who someone really is.
So here is the question. Have you ever changed your outer appearance to cover up something you were going through inside? And when, if ever, is that okay? Tell us what you think.
