I think I might have to compromise

Most people are rude to me when they first meet me and I think it's because I dress like George Constanza or Jerry Seinfeld from the Seinfeld sitcom. Polo shirts, shirts, chinos, smart-ish jackets. 

I might switch over to hoodies, jogging pants and jeans. Sometimes you just want to catch a break off people, you know? I personally believe in dressing smart but what's the point if it makes people dislike me so much?

Sigh. I really don't like how superficial society is, and how if one doesn't go along with it, people will often refuse to open doors for you. I may as well give way to them, the masses have determined fashion. I need some new social connections, you've got to be pragmatic sometimes, right?

A bit like politics. They have to kiss babies and do a certain kind of publicity campaign or they never get into office. You've got to play the game?

    I used them for a while - you go through a few pages where you click on the sort of looks you like & select colours, budget etc. then they send you suggestions for outfits.

    You don't have to buy anything and can always opt for a cheaper version of something e.g. a jacket if you like it but the one they suggest is too expensive.

    I got a few things from them but stopped once I'd got enough pieces to form the core of a new style.
