Fashion Mistake

· · 🌡️ 67°F

So I realized today after it was too late that I projected the wrong image by the clothes I put on this morning. Basically I wore a plain white T-Shirt since it was clean & topped it off with a Black Chicago White Sox Hat. Needless to say for some odd reason I felt out of place out in the Burbs in the morning and when I was walking and driving around the city later on in the afternoon I felt even more out of place. Basically I my clothes on many teenage boys on random street corners. The topping was when a group of African-American men in a Cadillac SUV were laughing at me was I crossed in front on them at a stoplight. Usually it would happen organically, but today I knew exactly what they were focused on.

    I always look stupid and I am sure people laugh. I don't care anymore. One day I realized I had a collared shirt on inside out with the collar tucked in and one leg if my jeans tucked into my sick.

    Not sure where you where. But don't people wear white shirt and Yankee's cap with jeans all over NYC. I'm sure if you would have a just carried a skate board you would have fit right in, HA kidding. Yesterday in the falls I saw two cops and a bunch of skateboarders. I thought I wonder if they got that way for being young and doing something, I'm guessing for skating and not doing anything wrong. My point is you had a certain look not sure what that look is and how it compares to where you were, but if it is comfy then fine........

    Hmm... I wish I had more fashion in my life. I just think it's too tiresome sometimes to worry about it - not to mention the uncomfortable and damaging footwear that comes with the state of fashion.

    I have been trying to walk in a paltry 2" heel for some days now and I feel as if the air 2" above is toxically dizzying, that I am going to fall on my nose, that my toes are being murdered in cold blood with a hot axe, that my lower back is complaining to my brain and the spinal cord is conveying the coup messages, that I am committing feet homicide, that I am selling out - all at ones. I have returned no less than 3 shoes through this ordeal. The thing is, I am absolutely convinced that most women are completely unaware of what they are doing to their feet when they wear these monstrosities. The big irony is that the realization is making it even more difficult for me to adjust to the heels.

    Aaaargh I hate fashion conventions that say that sneakers are not equivalent to "dressing up". What I really want to do is to defend in bare feet - but then I will have to go and get a pedicure, I suppose.

    And I absolutely detest that you sound like a clippety clop horse gallop on heels. I need to get something to choke the sound out of these heels.

    @tinypliny - something like this :::link::: counts as dressed up, especially with a pantsuit.
