Love is a drug, you are my cigarette. Love is addiction, you are my Nicorette...
If I was a male, I would dress so much better.
It would be easier. There is only a single acceptable silhouette for a man. I wouldn't have to worry about proportions or accenting the wrong parts of me. I could wear suits with smart bow ties and look pompous and booky without trying.
As it stands, my typical daily wardrobe is as follows:
1 t-shirt
1 thin long-sleeved shirt
(which shirt is over the other changes, depending upon what is on the t-shirt and which is the longest of the 2)
1 sweater, usually zip-up and/or hooded
1 of about 3 pairs of pants I actually enjoy wearing, 2 of which are black denim
1 pair of black shoes, either all-black Converses, fake leather "dressy" shoes that are falling apart, or black and pink Vans
So, like, I already am dressing like a dude. But I feel like these things on my female body just aren't cool. More likely, I appear "sloppy".
There are several problems with altering this I would like to enumerate.
For one, I am not making a bunch of cash. My car's various parts are dying and I really need a laptop to myself. My clothes mostly come from thrift shops, or the clearance rack. So my choices become limited to what someone else doesn't want. Already a bad place to start in the pursuit of fashion.
Secondly, I get cold VERY easy. As you see from the list above, I exist within many layers and will do so until the weather is around 75 degrees Farenheight. There is no way I will give up being warm and comfortable for a look that most people probably won't even appreciate.
With my dream boy self being a suit-wearer, you'd think I could just do that now. Sometimes I do. I have worn my neckties and bow ties to work before. But when I do it, it's more likely seen as "weird" than "cute" and "dapper". I've had a few people ask me, "Whose tie is that?" When I reply that the powder pink tie is mine and that I tied it myself, I get nods and silence.
This complaining will lead me nowhere, as I have no really will to change. I wish I could, say, consult with a professional on what I should be wearing to fulfill the various desires I have for clothes and the outward persona I imagine I have and is very important to those around me. But I assume such people require a lot of money. Their opinions will be skewed. I will probably walk away dissatisfied.
I leave the ultimate changes up to my future self, who may have money, and be famous. Famous people have reasons to apply a persona to their outside selves and will have other people even willing to pay to get that shit straightened out.
