{RANDOM POST CONCERNING FASHION SENSE AND MY LACK THEREOF}
I'm wearing a new dress today and someone in my English class commented that I'd worn a dress every day that week. This person is (like many of the people in my english class) an intelligent, nice person, though I don't talk to her very much, so it kind of surprised me. More surprising was the fact that another person (also nice and intelligent, though a little overbearingly religious x__x;) said that I wore dresses all the time and looked really pretty. Mostly it made me think about how people notice me when I'm at school or in public, which is not something that's often on my mind and it probably ought to be...

I alternate between being observant (I like to watch people) and wandering around in my own world myself, and everyone around me generally looks well-groomed and nice so I don't think about how other people look too often. I think, in general, I'm the worst-kept girl at my school, in terms of hair at any rate. All the other girls I see have perfectly flat (or perfectly wavy), smooth, manicured hair that never seems to fall out of place, and then there's me, with the bush of fluff growing out of my scalp. x__x My hair obeys only under extreme duress from styling products, and it takes more time than I'm willing to spend to tame. Now you might say that the girls at my school do spend the time and that's why their hair looks nice, but I know a few people who wake up, have a brush, and then are off and look perfect the whole day.

Also most of the girls at my school wear jeans and pants (like capri and pleather and leather and so forth..designer pants, basically =p) and I come to school almost every day in a dress or a skirt. When I wear pants it's generally khakis because I've not yet found a pair of jeans that doesn't make me feel like I'm bottling myself in. xx

I don't have a style when it comes to what I wear. A lot of people believe that what you wear is part of who you are, but you can't really garner who I am from the clothes I wear, except that I like to be unrestricted, since I tend to only wear things that are soft (like silk) and flowy. Unless I'm forced into wearing a tight whore-top that my mom buys because she thinks they look 'nicer' than a baggy T-shirt.

If I were let loose in a mall with enough money to buy my own wardrobe, it would likely be a stark contrast to what I have now. This is because my mother, despite me being 17, still has a firm grip on my clothing choices, and she never lets me wear anything interesting. There's this girl in my French class who dresses exactly how I want to dress--in flowing, gypsy kind of skirts with beautiful patterns and comfortable, dark or earth-toned tops. She wears things like this every day and I love them x__x But mom insists that tighter things look nicer.

...hmm, well, yes, that was random. x__x
