How Does Your Clothing Affect Your Mood?

Are you conscious of what you wear? You probably are if you’re going to a party or an occasion where what you wear is closely studied by the other attendants.  But isn’t this a bit unnecessary? In such cases, people use clothes almost as protection against criticism by playing it safe and wearing what others where to blend in.  What if you turned up at an event in ladies gladiator sandals when everyone else was wearing court shoes? Would that really matter? It would set a great precedent to individualise your style at such formal occasions without offending the host.
