Personal Reflection Essay
My philosophy of fashion (maybe adornment) is that clothe or clothing is made the the purpose of keeping people warm. Personally I don’t have many strong sense of belief of fashion or adornment like other girls do; what I wear is just a simple T-shirt or jeans in spring and summer, and a sweater or coat in fall and winter. But I do concern about the color. I am a superstitious person, and I believe luck is one the most important component of success. Thus when I have to take any exams, I usually will wear yellow or white clothe because these two colors usually give me good luck. Some people may say that this is just a psychological effort which make you feel calm and bring you confidence. I will not deny that, but I think this is the why how “superstition” works.
Other than color, I do concern about the style of wearing and it is because my parents really care about what to wear and how to choose what to wear based on what kind of events you are attending to. And I think this “theory” works for everyone in the world. For example, when you participate in an interview, probably most of the people will wear suits or formal business suits instead of casual clothe. It shows the attitude that you do concern about this event seriously and show the respect of interviewer siting in from of you. More typical example could be wearing more delight color dress when you attend a wedding party, wearing a academic dress when you attend graduation ceremony…As I said before, choose what to wear is showing the attitude of how you treat a certain event. If you do not care at all, probably you will never spend more than 10 min standing in front of you closet and asking the same question again and again worrying “what should I wear tomorrow?”.
Lastly, I believe that the sense of fashion and adornment will be easily affect my community and the environment you are living. For example, Chinese love to buy and wear luxury (even students) but Americans usually prefer more casual clothe rather than price and brand. The interesting thing is those chinese students who prefer to communicate and make friends with native speakers usually wear like americans do; but those chinese students who love to stick with people who has the same nationality are buying more and more expensive or luxury goods for many reason. I don’t want judge anyone and I don’t like to say those chinese students who like wearing luxury is rating with each other, but there is a phenomenon commonly happening even on campus.
