One of the things Sal brought up in his blog (and the girl in the Strength to resist video) talked about how you dress. Is it how you want to dress or how you feel you should dress? I totally get what they're saying. When I get up in the morning all I want to wear are sweatshirts and sweatpants. But I rarely ever do. I never wear sweatpants, I don't know why, I just don't like to wear sweatpants in public. And when I do wear a sweatshirt, I tend to regret it. I see what everyone else is wearing and immediatly regretted wearing it- why hadn't I taken the time to look put together??
But I don't know, maybe it's me maturing, or maybe it's seniroitis, but I've started to just do what I want. I don't really look around and think about how messy I look, or how people are thinking of the way I'm dressed or sitting or how my hair looks. I just doing what I want, when I want and how I want. Now, I may wear a tshirt four days a week and maybe even *gasp* sweatpants (that's right kids I wore sweatpants TWICE this week) and I'm comfortable, I like it.
I'm not saying I don't care, because I do. But I think circumstances have a lot to do with it. Now, I just don't care anymore. We're getting down to the craziest and most hectic month of the year, and now that we're seniors and we all almost know where we're going but we still have APs to do well on. Well motivation is in short supply. But I'm sure after APs I'll go back to caring. It all just depends.
I believe it's important to dress the way you want to because then it makes you unique and different. I don't always like to conform, but it seems everyone always does at some point. But if I'm in a sweatpantsmood then I'd deff wear sweatpants.
ReplyDeleteI think it is both senioritis and maturity. I think you'll see it in college a lot more too (hopefully) - girls feeling like they can dress however they want. Stay mindful of that and keep your self worth separate from your wardrobe!
