What we decide to put on is a form of self-expression, not an opportunity for feedback.
Our co-founder was interviewed recently on a subject we all have opinions about, but keep to ourselves.
Here's a little sampling from the article, you can read the complete Huffpost article here.
"Opinions. We all have them, especially about something as subjective as style. If you look at the comments section of any social media post, you’ll see examples: “That dress is one size too small.” “That color washes him out.” “She needs to fire her stylist.”
Some of us find the need to express and share our opinions unsolicited. And while sharing can sometimes be helpful ― for instance, if you warn a friend that her high heels might not be the best choice for a beach wedding on the sand ― but much of the time, it can be downright offensive, hurtful or even dangerous (especially if you’re in a workplace setting).
But are you even aware of when you’re making an unwelcome comment? We decided to talk to experts (including a sociologist, a psychologist and a human resources professional) to get their thoughts."
