Why Dress Up? Fashion or Personality





No, I am not a fashion designer or the fashion police, nor am I a fashion diva. I simply believe in comfort, and I've worn mismatched and unflattering clothes for years, not caring about how I looked. To me, it was about being carefree, but to others, it seemed careless. I used to believe that it shouldn't matter what others think of you, but I've come to realize that certain situations in life require you to be taken seriously, and if you don't care about your appearance, no one else will either.

Recently, I landed a job in the fashion world, which made me reflect on my hidden passion for fashion. I've always wanted to work for a fashion and lifestyle magazine, and it seems that my choice of Mass Communication as my field of study was aligned with this passion. I've always been drawn to fashionable things, from style and lifestyle to trends, makeup, and beauty. I admire women who carry themselves with grace and style, and I constantly read articles about fashion.

However, I used to discipline myself and believe that obsessing over material things was wrong. As a feminist, I was conscious of the stereotypes that women face, particularly being labeled as fashion-obsessed and not being taken seriously in the professional world. But I've come to realize that one can be a feminist and still appreciate fashion. Fashion is not just a cover-up; it's about confidence, personality, attitude, and a way of life that defines your style.

Appearances do matter, and the mantra I follow is "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." Your clothing reflects your tastes, likes, and dislikes. While having a golden heart is important, dressing well is a way to get noticed and taken seriously. Fashion has become a part and parcel of my personality, and I'm proud to say that I'm passionate about it, just as much as I am about world peace, humanity, equality, and kindness. Thanks to my new "fashion job," I've discovered this about myself.

Onions are just the beginning

In the modern age, where progress and enlightenment are celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent struggles faced by women. A recent incident on television, as I was channel surfing, left me questioning the plight of women in our society. I stumbled upon a scene of a saas (mother-in-law) berating her bahuraani (daughter-in-law) for a seemingly trivial act - adding onions to a curry. The young woman, in her delicate saree, wept profusely, her tears tarnishing the beauty of her jewel-studded attire. Why does such injustice persist? This portrayal on television, while seemingly dramatic, reflects the bitter reality of many women's lives. The issue of dowry, which may not have been about onions in this case, has been a longstanding menace. Mother-in-laws tormenting their son's wives is not an uncommon story. Countless women face abuse, both emotional and physical, when they fail to meet unreasonable dowry demands set by their husbands' families. Records illus...
