What Not to Wear Marathon

Judging by appearances

We appear vulnerable.

Open to criticism

Sucked in to fill the void

Where our self esteem should be.

Patterns deflect attention

And protect our privacy.

Bland colors

Make us fade into the background.

Too bold colors are like

A warning sign to stop.

Baggie clothes and fabrics

Keep us safe

Never exposing

Our style or personality.

Hoping no one notices

The real person

Behind the clothes.
