“Your clothes don’t match your personality at all.”
— the Guy
The fashion industry (and consumerism in general) thrives on individuals believing that they can change their identity by changing their outfit. I’m not sure if the way I dress reflects the way I wish I were perceived, but I do know that I have a girly-girl style though I’m a far cry from feminine in every other respect.
My wardrobe consists of dresses from labels like Nanette Lepore, Milly, Rebecca Taylor, and Cynthia Rowley. I don’t own anything remotely casual. Most of my bras have lace and bows and bullshit on them. Same for my shoes. I wear heels 70% of the time; flats the other 30% (I own sneakers and flip-flops but never wear them unless I go to the gym or beach). The Guy calls my style “girly provocative”, and really, only the latter term is descriptive of what I’m like in real life. He thinks I should wear stuff like hoodies and tees because it’d be a more accurate representation of my personality. I veto that idea, though I admit I’ve been searching for the perfect pair of Chucks.
