A Shallow Post About Clothes

Oct 22, 2008 11:12

Getting dressed in the morning these days makes me really happy. I think this is because I never really outgrew the loving to dress up in costumes thing, so when I wake up in the morning and put together an outfit, I sort of feel like I am dressing up as a character for the day! So, for example, when I wear a purple tunic sweater-dress and colorful stockings and tall boots, I am in disguise as a Trendy New Yorker; or when I am wearing a black skirt with a tulle overlayer and a short black jacket and the same tall black boots, I am being a Princess Goth Ballerina; or when I am wearing jeans and a giant falling-apart oversized sweater, it is a day when I can be a Casual Writer-Type; or when, as today, I am wearing a jean skirt and a white button-down and a navy sweater-vest, I am temporarily passing for the Preppiest Prep Who Ever Prepped. It helps that I have a job that lets me dress up nicely without feeling silly but does not particularly care about the particulars.

So yes, in other words, I am super-mature about Dressing Like a Grownup. :D

And now, stealing a question from schiarire but with a twist: who are you dressing as today?
