You’ve probably heard the phrase “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.”
The idea is simple if you dress to impress, others will take notice and you’ll rise to the top! It can’t hurt to try, but we’re not so sure dressing like Lady Gaga will turn you into a rock star overnight.

Here are five surprising ways what you wear can transform your mood.
