Look Sharp, Be Sharp: How The Clothes You Wear Change What People Hear You Say

If you want people to listen to you, there’s an important lesson here:
Dress the message.
The clothes you wear and the way you groom yourself will change the way other people hear what you say. It will subconsciously tell them if you’re like them or if you’re different. It will determine whether they listen or ignore. Trust or distrust.

With this new awareness, I decided Reprobable to be born.

With love,

Why

by

Why?

Do you have a love for art? Have you always had a strong interest in what you wear and in designing your own clothing, shoes, and accessories? Do you love helping others to make choices about what they wear and how to match their accessories to help them look great? ..because I do I!!!

That's why Reprobable was born!

Be more with less! Less envy, less money, less adventures, less drugs, less cars, less jewelleries, less food, less alcohol, less… clothes, yes. Less! You don't need much stuff to be happy! Much more YOU need white colours in your mind, less darkness in your thoughts. Make love with you and smile because just being yourself it’s enough.

That's why my name is Reprobable.

Also let me introduce myself by saying that finding your personal fashion style is not at all a big deal. It’s just about getting to know yourself. It's all about getting in touch with the very essence of who YOU are - and, be careful, I never accept a liar in my closet!!

Be truly confident about it! Be Reprobable!

Imagine a huge world, where every single person you've ever met, day by day, wore always the same clothes.

Just close the eyes now and imagine a place where all these people around you had the same style and liked the same things.

How does that sound to you? That wouldn't be exactly the most beautiful and stimulating world for anybody to live in... would it?

But the sad reality is like that, unfortunately. The majority of people tend to go this way when it comes to clothes! So this is where developing your style comes into the picture.

Dare to be yourself and wear the clothes that express the unique and fabulous person you are! Because you really are, you know?!

You are truly amazing and you should realise that!

Colour this life with shapes, colours and styles - and be the shining example of the beauty of diversity.

Be Reprobable! Simple like that!

Once you connect with your core fashion persona, your style will improve day by day and you'll look fabulous.

This will radiate through the way you dress. You'll feel good and magnetize everyone around in clothes-horses like every girl from Gossip, the movie.

I’m pretty sure of that, no doubt! Aren't you?

You know, another great thing about Reprobable, except his unique style of course, it’s also the fact it really adores to share with you its faith about the beauty of simplicity and love: when you really dig in, you will realize that when you live with less, your life becomes more than you have ever imagined.

Reprobable is nothing more than a tool which can assist you in finding freedom.

Freedom from fear.

Freedom from worry.

Freedom from feeling overwhelmed.

Freedom from guilt.

Freedom from depression.

Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we’ve built our lives around.

Real freedom.

What is Reprobable? If I had to sum it up in a single sentence, I would say, Reprobable is a tool to rid yourself of life’s excess in favour of focusing on what’s important—so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom.

No judge, no lies, fearless!

Just simple, approachable clean, friendly, different. But in a lovely way. Always your way!

...because you are truly amazing, you know?? You really are.

Simple. Open minded. Fresh. Cool. Young. Peaceful. Honest. Beautiful. Stylish. Unique. Clean. Minimal.

This is Who I am.

You wanted to know why Me, why Reprobable.

That's why everything.

Because I know I love you! no matter who you are.

Always with love,

Reprobable

Who You Are

by

What means being yourself?

It means examine your thoughts and actions, and work out whether they are derivative of expectations that others have implanted (parents, friends, media, society at large) or whether they are derivative of your own values, drives, and beliefs.

Sometimes the two are congruent.

Sometimes, you try to be more like someone because they embody your beliefs, drives and values, and so you emulate those aspects that you think will help you to bring these to the surface and allow you to demonstrate these beliefs, drives, and values.

But sometimes, you don't really understand what you believe. Or what motivates you. Or what you value. Often because these have not been tested by life. These may seem to shift, depending on your situation. It's easy to have high values when you have a roof over your head, or have a caring and nurturing environment, or are not afraid you and your remaining family many not be here the day after tomorrow.

When you strip away those experiences, and the raw meat left behind still has certain core beliefs, values, and drives - that's the real you - not those that you think you should have.

Because those are what survive what life has thrown at you, even though your experiences may temporarily bury them in a protective shell. Truth is, until you've been through some life experience, it can be difficult to know how to "be yourself" or indeed know who you are.

So throw yourself into life. Let yourself fail, make calculated risks (and even the occasional leap into the dark) and see what comes, real out the other end.

Just Be Reprobable! Be different! Be yourself no matter what!

...don't care!

This is the only way for being a happy person in this life! You have to know you, you have to accept yourself with everything you know about you, you have to learn to love you after that, you have to dare after all of these things to tell to every person you'll meet, that YOU are the only You from this planet.

"Love me or hate me, darling! I Legit Don't Care! This is the only ME I really have on this planet!"

Always tell us stories about yourself, and not about..John Doe! Who the fuck is this John Doe anyway? And who loves him?

As an afterthought, why is it that I don't think that interactions with others shape who we are? Well, I do - but I think it is very very rare for it to shape the intrinsic person you are. Here's why. Social interactions define how we interact with others, but I'm not sure they tell us a lot about ourselves. We may mould our reactions in order to 'fit in' but that's more about communication than 'being'. The 'being' part is more about the part that remains constant and unaffected by those interactions, other than to be informed and to change based on this.

When other people have different perceptions of who you are, it's useful to know as it can help you see how the combination of you and them forms a way of looking at you that differs from other people. But that's all it is - a view on your interactions, not a view on who you are intrinsically. If I look at a sports car and say 'That is a nice car' based on my perception on Sports Stars for example, having a positive connotation about wealth and sexual magnetism, and someone else looks at it and looks at it as something that took their child from them and is thus driven by ass-holes and murderers, then what does that say about the car? Nothing. It's still a car, with an engine, four wheels, that needs fuel.

Otherwise, world is neutral, isn't it?!?! Negativity is only a result of your attitude. I don't want to say something as "change your attitude" because i suppose it's unnatural. I would rather say it will better for you to accept and understand the world as it is, with the good and the bad. Try not to judge, let life take its course. I always do that.

After time has passed, just hope that you'll get to realise that life isn't either good or bad.

The true world is as simple as these two words: beautiful and mysterious. Do you think the same, don't you?!
