Appearance and Clothes

How important is your appearance? No doubt, different people would answer this question differently. Some of them are tall and slender, others- short and plump, some people have fair hair and blue eyes, others – black hair and hazel eyes. But I’m sure that everybody wants to be attractive.
Though a famous proverb says, “Clothes do not make a man”. I think that appearance and clothes play an important role in our life.
To be attractive you must pay attention to your look, your hair-cut or hair-do, and, of course, to your clothes. When you buy clothes, try them on; make sure that they are your size, that they suit you well and that you like their colour. Besides, try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive.
Speaking of appearance, I’d like to describe my best friend Dasha. She is a tall slender 10 year old girl with fair hair, blue eyes, straight nose, full lips and pink cheeks. Dasha is a pretty girl with a kind and sincere smile. But most of all I like her inner beauty which is as attractive as her appearance

Appearance

Meeting people for the first time we always make a judgment based on their appearances though the proverb tells us not to make such a mistake. Appearances are really deceptive; it's like a wrap of a sweet. I believe that everyone at least once in his/her life unwrapped a sweet in a bright paper but instead of a chocolate sweet found there just caramel. Or vice versa sometimes a really tasty candy is hidden under very unattractive wrapping paper. The same I can say about people.
It's better to stay neutral until the moment when you can say for sure that you know this or that person pretty well to say he is a person who deserves (or doesn't deserve) faith, understanding or attention. It's my life motto since I've made such a mistake.
My best friend's name is Nina, we are friends for many ages; but I can never forget our first meeting. It was in summer when our families decided to rest in the south together. When we drove up to their house my attention was attracted by a little tidy girl in a rose dress, who was sitting to squat and playing with her long blond curl. It was Nina. My first impressions about her were far from my opinion about her now. At first she seemed to me so correct, obedient and shy. I didn't like her at all. But when we began to communicate closer I understood I was mistaken. I think it makes sense to say that when we returned home we were loyal friends.
So I know it for sure that appearances are deceptive. That's why now I never make any conclusions about a person when I meet him or her for the first time. It's not my rule to make hasty conclusions, I prefer to get to know more about a person, then to analyze this information and only then to draw my conclusion. It's very easy to form a negative opinion about a person just because you don't like the way he looks, and it becomes like a barrier for further communication between you and this person, though in fact he can be an interesting, well-educated and talented person with whom you have a lot of in common. So, never judge people by appearances, because appearances are deceptive!
