If you like what your wearing and feel good in it, then that's all that matters :).
Depends on the occasion. You wouldn't want to wear bright colors to a dinner party, or dark colors to a lunch event. Wear colors that you think look good on you.
Sometimes, the opinions of close peers may help....i never thought i'd wear bright green in my life, but I got a bright green tshirt as a present once, and i've gotten nothing but compliments. Try out new things, see what looks good and what makes you feel comfortable!
If you are comfortable with your getup ,then no issues for it. But if you are not liking your dress code then its better you should go for another one....
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
