For many of us, it is our clothes that we think show who we really are in a visual way that everyone can see immediately. If we dress a bit quirky, then we think that it will show everyone we have a fun personality with a few quirks of our own, or if we dress smartly in sharp suits and designer dresses, we think it will give people the impression that we are serious people who mean business and have a good eye for detail. This, of course, can be absolutely true, but you know what? It is often your kitchen, the place where you host, unwind, and have family fun, that is the real giveaway of who you are, and a great way to express yourself.
