Distinguish open-minded people from closed-minded people. Open-minded people seek to learn by asking questions; they realize that what they know is little in relation to what there is to know and recognize that they might be wrong.

But there's no escaping what you wear and the fact that you've chosen it. Even if you insist that you don't care about fashion, that's your statement.
