Deciding what to wear was not very hard for me because I really do not own a lot of clothing that makes me uncomfortable. I got the suit from Savers about a year ago and wore it with some friends as a joke, so I thought it would be fun to wear it once more. I would not wear anything feminine such as make up, jewelry, clothing, ect… I also would not be comfortable wearing clothes from Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, ect… I was raised in the country and people poked fun at people who wore these kinds of clothes, so that’s where my dislike of these clothes came from.
I was more comfortable approaching people I knew because they would just laugh with me and accept me no matter what. It felt awkward approaching people I did not know because the clothing I was wearing was definitely out of the ordinary, and I was sure how they would react. Nevertheless, I was not too worried about what they thought.
My friends asked me why I was dressing that way. Other than that, they all treated me like nothing was different. I didn’t notice much of a difference with my professors either. I am assuming they just figured it was part of my everyday attire.
As I was walking to and from class, many people gave me funny looks as I walked by, but I got very few comments. A student did ask me if I was going to a golf tournament. One of my friends asked me if I was dressed up for some special occasion. I think most people did not care or were too shy to say anything.
Now that I have gone outside my comfort zone and wore clothing I’m not comfortable with, I feel that my view on the phrase, “clothes make the person,” has changed very little. Generally, what people are wearing is a pretty accurate reflection of their personality. Yet, as we walked around the campus that day, our choice of clothing definitely did not match our personality, but this was a rare occurrence and definitely not the norm. With this being said, I still agree with the statement “clothes make the person.”
