Psychology of Clothing



"Never leave the house looking crazy," I always hear ringing in my head "Cause you never know who you are going to meet or what is going to happen." This is one of the main quotes I have adopted in my life and have taken it to heart. It is a habit for me to "get dressed" everyday.



Regardless if we think, for feel it is right or not. People judge you when they see you. "The world forms its first and most lasting impression of a man by the clothes he wears." Napoleon Hill. You GAIN and or LOOSE opportunities by your appearance alone. You get treated differently, respectfully or not by your appearance alone. You display with a Neon bill board in LCD LOUD AND CLEAR what you feel about your self by your appearance alone.

In jeans or a suit. Will Smith is ALWAYS looking so very good and well put together.


So why would you "Tie your shoes together in a marathon race?" It doesn't make sense right? Now follow me on this- We are spirits and our body is our home. Our spirit is who we really are. Our body is just our human existence. However our spirit feels we show it in and on our body. "What ever is within (inside you) shall be without (outside you)." Haanel. This is Universal Law whether you consciously abide or not.


Beyonce,... She always looks good!!!





"An appearance of prosperity attracts attention always, with no exception whatsoever. Moreover, a look of prosperity attracts 'favorable attention,' because the one dominating desire in every human heart is to be prosperous." Napoleon Hill



"Clothes do not make the man but no one can deny the fact that good clothes go a very long way toward giving him a favorable start." a poet



"Success attracts success! There is no escape from this Universal Law therefore, if you wish to attract success make sure that you look the part of success, whether your calling is that of day laborer or prince." Napoleon Hill



"I do not wear thirty-one suits of clothing (one a day) entirely for the impression they make on the other people; I do it mostly for the impression they have on me." Edward C. Barnes.



Don't you just Feel good when you Know you look good? You stand a little taller, you are more confident, part of your attire is a smile on your face! Dressing good makes you feel good! That is what is this is all about. Presenting yourself well has all to do with YOU! When you dress well you give off positive energy. Which in turn, others see and feel, then it opens the doors for opportunities that might not have happened if you didn't start the positive chain reaction! You might not have the best clothing by your standards but start where you are at!And I am not saying you have to get the latest in fashion and all of the name brand clothing;carrying yourself like you Do love yourself and ARE interested in your own well being goes a long way. If they do it and are successful shouldn't you until you "make it"? You need not any "special" place to go, do it for you!


If any of your "friends" don't have positive things to say about you "all of a sudden" looking good on a continuous basis...They are not be the kind of people you need to surround your self around. Surround yourself around people who support and encourage your betterment.


When you feel good you look good. When you look good great things happen!!!!

"This little light of mine....I'm gonna let it shine....." is not just a song! LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE! In all that you do. You will only see each day one time. So Shine! How do you think Will Smith, Beyonce, Oprah and the President of the United States Barack Obama got to where they are at? They let their light shine! It is time you let yours.....SHIIIIIIINNE!!!!!

Predicitons!!!.....Women's Fashion Predictions!!!!!

.....As I peer... into my Crystalball... ! Here is what I see for upcoming fashion!



Yes!! Yes!! Saddle shoes will be back in full effect!!! All variations Stilletos, flats, tennis shoes... all kinds. This is a classic shoe. So much can be done to dress it up or dress it down. Love them!! They will be worn with plaid, jeans, pants, skirts and dresses... I am exsited to see the modern way they will be worn. Also we will see the poodle start popping up on things seeing that the saddle shoe and poodle go hand in hand.



What a great picture I found that displays my prediciton exactly!!!! PEACH IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!!! It is such a beautiful feminine color. And whether you are super girly or more layed back peach can be worn either way... Yes we had a pink revoulution. But the peculiar thing about pink is... Everyone doesn't like pink! Peach is a neutral color and many, many more people like peach. We will see peach EVERYTHING!!! Clothes, shoes, furniture and maybe even cars!! ( That just gave me and idea!) LOL!!!



....Do you see that earring? So very classic!! We will see all variations of the round stud earring. From super large to not to small dots.All colors, polka dots any thing you can imagine! We have been wearing hoops for ages... I am glad we are going to switch it up.


So many looks of the classic pin-up girl. Soft finger waves, swooped and pinned bangs, Soft pin-curls, and of course the cherry red lips and black eyeliner on the top of the eye. SOOOOOO CUUUUTE!!! I would like to have all races displayed in the pic. But you all get the idea. We will see all races wearing this look. So very classy!! All you hair stylists out there get your game up!!! (LOL)


Full skirts! Full Dresses!! What a beautiful look!! This may be a little more extravagant than everyday wear but this is the look that I see will be happening very soon. Petticoats haven't been worn socially for many years. But they are going to have a resurgence. Women want to feel feminine again. This look is what we have known to be a very feminine look so we will see many women going back to this look to bring out our feminine side.



They're bAAAaaaaaaK!!! Nylons ladies! Especially the ones with the seam in the back. They will no longer be for exotic dancers or french maids!!!LOL!!! Another look for the classic, classy woman.

We have scene a little bit of this dress with the celebrities. The pencil dress but no where near where it will be .UUUUmmmmm.... I think I am going to make my variation of this dress... Super Cute!!Hahhahahaha!!!



Lace nylon socks with heels, stilettos, saddle shoes. Socks with heels period is going to be scene alot. I like the look I think it is cute!
As you can see. The woman is going to slowly move back to being a classy lady. It is time for us to stop dressing like men and grasp our feminine energy. We have been in a male dominated society for so long. I think many of us forgot what it felt like to be our species!Very, True.. Dresses and nylons ,lipstick and getting our hair done isn't the only way to grasp our feminine energy, but it is a start. A big change from wearing laborers clothing (jeans, read my"What are you wearing tonight entry) For those of you who like the look but are a little scared to do it... GO FOR IT!!! Start small!...( I always wear what I feel) Because I am going to let you know a secret.... Everyone is going to be wearing it anyway!! Be fashion attractive not fashion reactive!! I am into this look full effect and I LOOOOVEE IT!!!LOL!!!
At this point... We are creatures of habit... I am not saying everyone should dress this way, because yes, ... We are all individuals...Fashion is all that we do whether we feel we are fashionable or not. Jeans and tshirts are fashion people! LOL!!!Clothing in general is fashion!!! The style is going this way anyway, Just make sure you put your own personal flare, to whatever you wear to be the individual that you are. Heeey!!! I like that..( do I smell coin phrase... uuuh copywrite!!!) LOL!!!

"Girl....What are you wearing tonight?"

"I' ma wear my black shirt, JEANS, and black boots" another response...." my cute top, True Religion JEANS and pumps" another response.... " I don't know what but I know Ima wear my Seven JEANS, you know they make by booty look good."



OK... do you see the relation? JEANS! jEaNS! JeANs!jEAns!... No matter how I spell it or wear it they will just be jeans. Please don't get me wrong, jeans are.... ok, but like many other people I have been wearing jeans since I came out of the womb. Doesn't anyone think it is time to switch it up?



"So we are told.... "America started the jean revolution world wide. That was 30+ years ago. It is now 2009 almost 2010 and there seems to be no slowing up. Black jeans, stone washed jeans, blue jeans, flared jeans, boy cut, skinny leg, low rise... the list goes on and on....



Do you know that jeans were made for the laborers and construction workers, field hands and gardeners? The cheapest form of fabric to last a long time. And many people thing they are "DOOIIN IT! With their $200 dollar pair of jeans when they only cost 5-10 dollars to make!" (if not cheaper) ....ok......OOOK!!! I KNOW!! Times DO change but I personally think it is an issue when most of us women and men's whole wardrobe surrounds around jeans! WHAT HAPPENED TO FASHION? Do you know that most of the world thinks American fashion is "Boring?!" Cotton jeans and cotton shirts and sneakers.... The whole of most peoples day to day wears.



I feel that because we have been so dumbed down to style many of us don't even know how to dress. Better yet know what their personal style is. We have been told what to wear, how to wear it, when to wear it, and with whom. Times have changed and we as a whole need to change with it. When someone, who is not going to be a cookie cutter, dresses a little bit different than every one else, they don't know how to react because all they see is jeans and t- shirts EVERYDAY!! LOL!!

Everyone isn't fashion model nor wants to be. Not one of us as an individual is not like another single person on the face of this earth. There is only one you on the whole earth!..... So why do we all dress alike? Same jeans, same accessories (If they are worn) same shoes and same bags when there is a ton of clothing designers out here with Fabulous clothing that can truly express yourself as a person.

I personally feel your appearance displays who you are " What is within shall be without" And I REEEEFUUUUSE to believe, that everyone is THAT boring!!!



I also have an issue when there are people like who absolutely love to dress (me!!hahahaha) either get "Why are you so dress up?! When I have on a dress with heels, or "Where are YOU going?!" When I am just dressed for the day. Quick story:



~~~ I was at the library and I overheard these women in.......hmmmmmm...... maybe in their late fifties... They were talking to one of there friends. She was looking at books and they said to her "Me and Betsy were wondering what you were doing later on since you were all snazzed up?!" I looked at the one they were talking about and couldn't believe it....!!! She had on kacky pants, a white screen-print tshirt and a long sleeve red button up that was open and some white keds.....COME ON NOW PEOPLE!!! HAHAHAHAHAAHa!!!!!!!!~~~~~(Even though they may be older this applys to all generations!!!)

First of all people have to get over their insecurity issues to be able to step outside of the box... You have to know you are the best thing walking. Not as a put down to anyone else but having confidence in your self. There is a huge difference between Conceded and Confidence.

Start small and switch it up a bit... You are more than Jeans and t-shirts people!!!!

Why Psychicfashions?!

It all started in Highschool.....(nistalgic...LOL!!!!) Baggy jeans and over sized shirts were in full swing. Shopping in the boys/men's department ( wHaT!!!!) wearing boy tennis-shoes (... Ooooh MY!!!) That sums up my and many others (male and female) fashion in Northern California in the early to mid- 90's. Sounds pretty sad right? Well... out of every negative there is a positive...

This is the recorded beginning of when I noticed I could SeeeeeEEEE IN TooOOOOOOO ThAaAAAAAAA FaUUUuuCHaAAaaaaaa!!! (future. Like that huh?! hahahaha!!!)

I was very much into 70's fashion as a teenager(90"s)... Afros, platforms, hip-hugger bell bottoms, the big stone jewelry, music, even the speech...That's jive right? lol I REALLY really wanted hip-hugger bell bottoms and platforms (as I called them then) But American fashion was stuck on baggy clothes with not much style. I started to be a fan of thrift stores, shopped high and low for a pair of those jeans that I could just touch to purchase. You would think I would have no problem! Uuuuuh California?!... Reformed hippies giving there clothes away?!..But I had no luck. My friends thought I was crazy. I thought I would be SOOOOooo COOOOL!!!

.....Tick.... tock....tick....tock.....Time passed all the while having this burning desire ( this was the first time I experienced this) to get this look out. When I get a vision of a look I don't just see the picture but what accompanies the sight is the feelings of the newness, fun, and burning desire to get it out! And if I don't get whatever I see in my mind out into physical form I feel like I am... Just going to burst!!! ( southern bell accent!!!) The best way I can explain it for those of you who don't understand is ;...You know how it feels when you fall in love and the feelings are sooooo strong, when you are with that person you are just overflowing and feel like you can't contain all of your feelings and you are going to pop?... I know, I know... but it is what it is right!!! hahahahaha!!! All of you artists out there know EXACTLYwhat I am talking about!!!!!

So while everyone is wearing baggy jeans I wanted to wear bell bottom, platforms and rock an Afro. About 2 years later.... YEEEEEEAH!!!! I came across a pair of low-rise flared leg jeans. Same thing different name at TJMAXX. hahahaha!!Then I had to deal with the undergarment industry not keeping up with fashion. (remember when there weren't any low-rise undergarments and all of the pants were?.. wooow)

Need I digress.....So years went by flared jeans, low-rise platforms.... the works. Then again this same over whelming feeling came and it was to wear tight jeans ( as I called it now skinny jeans!!!! this is when I started my clothes transforming talent) Converse All Stars, striped shirts, metal belts,mo-hawk (...The cute kind.....NO no no! I don't shave the head!!!LOL!!!)- basically rock style. So I started rocken that style while the masses were still in the low rise movement...again...

Then again about 2 years later. SKINNY JEANS!!!! and all that came along with it....This is when I was seeing the trend with my self and everyone else. There were other items along the way that weren't total style changes like accessories and things that I had known also...I had been telling people what I saw in my crystal ball for years... Now they were able to see it with there own eyes. At first they laughed and brushed it off but as time has passed pretty much all of my predicitons have come true. If I feel it... So shall it be!!! LOL!!!

My circle, especially my husband,who has seen the whole thing, (since high school) and other people have been telling me I need to start documenting what I think is going to happen in the fashion industry, for those who want to know and be on top of it. "People need to know!"my friends exclaimed. I was pushed and pushed. Now I have the complete confidence in myself and and my abilities to forecast fashion.

So here we are with Psychicfashions by Lady Imagery!!! I will be telling the new trends, speaking about jeans...!...? Self Confidence also taking control of your own fashion sense and much MUCH more. This will all be from what I SEE and what I FEEL. This is my opinion alone. Take it or leave it. We all have a choice.





So, see what I see
