Did you ever notice as the leaves slowly die and lose color, daylight diminishes at about the same pace? In most places, it's autumn, and the leaves are just beginning to turn from deep green to shades of orange, rust and yellow. Haystacks, tan footballs and chrysanthemums echo autumn's foliage. Shop windows do too, and there you will see garments and accessories that mimic pumpkins, haystacks, moss, gourds, nuts, teal duck feathers and toasty hotdogs. It's very tempting to dress to match the season. If, however, you would like to dress to look more attractive, powerful or distinctive, you may wish to reconsider this primitive urge to blend into your surroundings. Most of us DO dress to blend in with the background, whether we know it or not. Primitive survival instincts cause us to leave the house each day dressed so that the dinosaur won't get us. The most famous camouflage colors are, of course, army fatigues, designed to keep enemy fire from getting us. Since few of us are under enemy fire and there aren't any dinosaurs around these days, do we really want to dress to become invisible? In today's competitive world, isn't it better to stand out in a crowd and look distinctive?
