This is a nice piece on how one woman was judged based on her apparel choices. It's from a few months ago but it just crossed my inbox.

There's a lot out there that says we react to things without thinking. And there's some evidence of the fact that when we can keep critical criteria in mind when looking, we can override that. The key part is the latter, of course.

That was a great article, yeah.

She did such a good job of that!

Also, I found myself noticing how pretty I found her, things that I don't like as much in myself. That's... kind of messed up, but I know that, and I'm working on it.

Given that people use apparel to broadcast how they desire to interact with the world, what would be surprising about that?
