I am casual and dress like a minimalist, with some slight alternative influence. Usually I prefer to wear jeans, and a well-fitted t-shirt, preferably plain with no writing. I have a dirty pair of black converse that are almost always put to use.
I have this thin, raggedy gray jacket with an old friend's ex band on it, and the itchiest underside ever. I look like a homeless person when I wear it. It has a penchant of becoming wet and heavy instead of actually shielding me from the rain and warranting its existence.
I have a black shirt with an image of Robert Smith (the Cure) faced away in black and white. That's probably my favorite shirt these days.
I wear eye-liner, mascara and sometimes use eye-shadow and smudge to achieve the whole smokey-eye effect. I like my humble attire and vaguely alternative look in contrast with my blonde hair and blue eyes. I've never felt like my physical traits reflected who I was, and this "look", I guess, makes me look more in line with the way I perceive myself and my attitude in life.
If I'm trying to communicate anything by my dress I guess it is humility and the desire to go unnoticed, hinting at a slight disdain, or perhaps simple apathy, toward the general public, generally, lol. I think this comes from growing up in the early nineties and identifying with the grunge movement that embraced feelings of alienation, promoted dissent through open displays of disillusionment at society in both music and entertainment in reaction to the more upbeat, sometimes saccharine optimism associated with the 60's countercultures. Coming of age in the nineties put a chip on my shoulder, and I'm kind of fond of that culturally adopted chip. I wouldn't be the same without music like Nirvana or the Pixies, or without shows like Daria, Ren & Stimpy, Seinfeld, Rocko's Modern Life.
I continue to write overwrought essays in response to the simplest questions. Sorry. I don't expect people to read all my crap. I just like to reflect upon things in writing. It's cathartic and I enjoy it. So, just ignore me.
