Perception

Today as I walked into Dunkin Donuts to snag my usual crack cocaine Dunkachino to suffice my caffeine addiction, I was thinking to myself as I saw an older man starring at me what he thought about me? My new Pontiac G6 keys in hand, Michael Kors tote over my shoulder, new iPhone 4s in my back pocket and my Victoria Secret Pink hoodie over my head. I bet there are a few choice words that came to his mind. But bet he never thought that this yuppie princess purchased her own car by maintaining a job since she was 13 or received her new iPhone from her father as a gift to help her with her new career! If this 75 year old man would have taken a deeper look into my designer brand bag he would have seen "Likeable" the social media book I am reading or my 4gig thumb drive that has my 250 page senior paper on it or even some pictures of the surprise anniversary pictures that I had just thrown my parents!!!

I could be wrong, which does happen every blue moon, I mean who knows he could have been looking at the person standing in line behind me or he could have been contemplating getting in line to get another donut. But it got me thinking about some material for my blog. What do people really think about when they look at me? I do like to dress nice and have nice things which must give me some sort of reputation right off the bat for people who don't know me. I am very guilty of doing this myself as well! But I believe as a community we are all guilty of judging people according to their appearance. I mean, what would you think of me if you saw me walking down the street? Certainly not that this city girl spends most of her time reading  and researching how to be better at her job! I know judging people is bad and I would like to say most of the time I try not to do it! But today I decided I am going to add this new dimension to my New Years resolution list as well! I know digging through my purse there is much more than meets the eye! So what's inside your purse!?! ;)
