Great metaphor: Your clothes as the book jacket

By Meg | May 23, 2007

The saying goes that you can’t judge a book by its cover. While that may true to some degree, I bet a lot of thought goes into designing book covers. What does that have to do with clothes? Well, here’s a great quote from What Every Woman Needs in Her Wardrobe’s post today entitled Wednesday Rambings:

You are the most fantastic story ever written. Your childhood, your education, your travels, your passions and hobbies. No one else has a story quite like yours. If you were to be published, you would desire a book jacket that illustrated your story well, so people would understand the plot just from the cover photo and the few paragraphs of text on the back. Well clothing is your book jacket. A simple cover shows class and elegance and invites those who like to read to delve in and learn more. A bright and colorful jacket informs potential readers that the story will be vibrant, unique and artistic. A photo in soft focus with delicate colors infers that the story is romantic, feminine and a bit mysterious. Think about your hobbies, your passions, your dreams. They are what make you the amazing person you are.

That’s certainly something to think about. Check out the post yourself because there is a lot more wisdom in today’s ramblings. And remember - be true to yourself, not fashion fads.

If you wrote a book about yourself, what would the cover look like?
