Don't judge a book by it's cover, but I think it's inevitable to judge people based on appearance. It becomes wrong once you let the judgement get in the way of actually knowing the person. I mean, why would you let your impressions keep you from getting to know that person? I don't deny that I do judge people, but I do get to know them just because.
My first 3 weeks in school made me realize that what we wear is just a small portion of who we are. I mean, we can't put everything that we are as a person into our clothes, and there are those, like me, who just wear clothes. I don't have a "distinct" fashion style—I wear what I feel like wearing. I can be a hippie one day, polished the next day, and the extra-girly the day after that, just like what happened this week. Monday & Tuesday, I was a hippie; I was preppy for CT 11's White Day with my white button-down polo; and I was a girly-girl Thursday & Friday with my floral skirt. If you saw me last week, what would you have thought of me? What would have been your first impression-slash-judgment of me?It's not like anyone sees me everyday because my style changed with my mood, but if someone did see me everyday last week, they would've been really confused—even I was!
I think this goes to show that we really shouldn't judge people based on how they look because their characteristics aren't shown on the surface of their skins. I've been judged a million, if not billion, times because of how I look and what I wear, and those who judge me are almost always wrong. I mean, hey! Yes, I like wearing shorts almost all the time; no, I am absolutely not a skank. ;)
