I mentioned that I've been choosing practically over beauty these days. Let's move that from the topic of technology to clothing (and accessories). True, I've started wearing makeup occasionally. It's done rather in a dark or Lady Gaga way to express my love of bright colors and contrasts. I'm not being serious when I wear it, so don't tell me I'm doing wrong. I know I'm doing it wrong--that's the point. Besides, fashion and beauty rules change so often, what's the point of keeping up with the "rules" anyway? Who are you to say what I should put on my face?
Anyway...back to clothes. Much to Imah's chagrin, I've become a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. This has only been since the past couple years. I used to wear nice, classical sweaters in the cold months and modest blouses in the summer. All my clothes were too big and covered every part of my skin except my feet, head, and sometimes my neck (thank you, Mother).
This change to t-shirt came about because of college. I didn't have time to prepare my outfits (it can get amazingly complicated), and iron them and whatnot. Toss on underclothes, a tee, jeans, and sneakers, and you're good to go! I do occasionally wear skirts (I love skirts)--short ones. It horrifies my dear Imah if my calves show. Sigh.
Another reason I wear t-shirts all the time is because it's a great way to express myself. I love shirts that have funny/sarcastic sayings and images. I'm addicted to Shirt Woot. If you stalk through my Twitter pics, you'll see some of the t-shirts I've gotten (or want). That's the good stuff.
My mother laments that I don't look classy anymore. Hey, with a few well placed accessories (I'm good at that when I want to be), I can still pull off the stylish look.
As for looking attractive...ladies, this comes naturally. I don't need to show off my body, paint my face, or dress like a socialite to impress people. I certainly don't need (or want) to attract men. My problem is usually getting rid of them (Here's a question: why are men attracted to women that have no interest in them? Meanwhile, women drool over them and these guys don't even notice! *rolling my eyes*)
I like how I look--no matter what I'm wearing--and that's all that matters.
P.S. Cotton breathes! Synthetics don't (ew!).
