“No matter how much you say or believe you dress to please yourself, your appearance and the clothes you wear tell the world a lot about you.  In fact, your appearance is what makes the first impression when you walk into a room.  What counts more than the clothes you wear, which in this day and age can be more a matter of personal rather than dictated style, is how well groomed you appear.  If you are neat, clean, and pleasant smelling it reflects not only your own sense of self-worth and self-esteem but your awareness of those around you.”
