I have always thought that the reason why so many criminals look like criminals is because they 'think themselves' into being nasty-looking and thuggish so they can impress their friends. They like the idea of being seen as 'hard and evil'.
I have also often thought that girls who think themselves to be attractive, beautiful even, eventually grow-up to become so.
A person with a happy disposition will always look more attractive than someone who is permanently miserable. And it shows.
I think the same can be said about 'wealth'. An ambitious person who dresses, and thinks, like a successful person, will probably eventually become wealthier than his or her peers who think of themselves as stuck in poverty.
The mind is a wonderful thing, and one's attitude towards how one sees oneself, can have a huge impact.
Perhaps it's all a question of 'confidence'. Belief in oneself is vital in life.

So, when I dress like a slob . . . ?
You're allowed to dress as a slob as long as you carry a Harrods shopping bag, and wear a Gucci headscarf.
I think, therefore I am.
I wouldn't go to Asda in my P J s and dressing gown.
Nor would I.
The power of positivity is real.
I do believe it is a choice.
I believe so too. it's all related to 'ambition'.
"Physiognomy" is about reading someone's inner life from their appearance - especially their facial appearance. Often our suppositions are spot on but just sometimes a grumpy looking person can be very cheerful on the inside and a smiley, laughing person can prove to be anxious and gloomy on the inside.
Perhaps Coco Chanel got it right when she said "...at 50, you have the face you deserve" 😉
I think your examples are rare. Usually I find grumpy looking people are 'grumpy', and smiley people are pleasant to be with. However, there may be the occasional exception.
She was 'spot-on'.
