Peacocking

To "peacock" is to dress to gain attention. This, usually, has a sort of negative connotation, (I think of an ugly guy in white pants and snake-skin shoes) but I think it can have a few benefits if done properly. Ladies, of course we want to be remembered for our unique qualities. A sense of humor, quick whit, intelligence, a kind heart...whatever great traits you have that make you YOU should engage others and work in your favor. However, for first impressions it never hurts to have a bit of fun with your look. I used to always tell girls heading into sorority recruitment, "Wear something bold and bright. That way when one girl mentions the statement piece, the others will remember you, and be able to discuss from there."
I'm applying to medical school at the school I am currently getting my master's at. I submitted my secondary application today and decided it would be a good idea to casually pop into the admissions office, say hello, and put a face to the app. I took a bit of my own advice: when I saw this cardigan it reminded me of a peacock. I made an appointment with one of the women to go over my application tomorrow so that she'll know more about me than the fact that I like to wear funky patterns.
