Today was my weekly Rotary meeting and it may seem like saying, "What am I going to wear today?" is a no brainer question, but my subconscious mind thought it was the million dollar question, and in one sense it was. The clothing choices for my previous visits had been really rather drab, with several brown and gray outfits in there.
Today, I was more mindful of what those colors may be saying about me to others. Am I really a brown or gray person? That answer was a resounding "NO!" Okay, then why am I wearing brown to these meetings? Here is the million dollar answer: because it keeps me in the background. Huh, not a good plan when you are at networking event.
So the next question had to be, what could happen if I choose to wear a bright color today? They NOTICE me and maybe even talk to me. Well, isn't that what I am attending for? BINGO!
So today, I made a conscious choice to still fulfill my personal desire to be comfortable by wearing natural fiber clothing, still look professional and show my personality. Hence today I chose to wear PURPLE, people talked to me and I had a great luncheon!
