I'm Dressing To Annoy You...

I went shopping with my friend today and when I picked up a particular dress to try on, she informed she didn't like the dress at all. I shrugged it off and said she didn't have to wear it. Later, analyzing myself and the day I realized how little her disapproval of my wardrobe bothered me. Here was a person I am good friends with and I think dresses reasonably well and yet I didn't care whether she liked my clothes or not. I believe I have come to a place where I might actually dress for myself.

I like any other human being, like approval and affirmation. Yet, somehow (and I swear this is more recent) I have managed to overcome a great deal of my awkwardness/shyness/self-consciousness and it is reflected in my style. The change might not be obvious to an outside viewer and I have not been wholly aware of it, but it has occured.

So, when on the following day several people teased me that I looked homeless, I was likewise unmoved. Amused perhaps, but willing to change my clothes? Not a chance...
