Describe your "fashion sense".
much of the reason i have been so terribly, terribly slow in posting anything lately is because of this question. i thought it was a great opportunity to go through my collection of clothes and photograph them, and give you a little web photo-guide to the clothes i wear.
but i never did it, because i started to feel self-conscious about the extreme bigitude of my shirts.
so, i'll just describe articles of clothing:
-
sweatpants
grey ones (new -- warm, comfortable, but don't stay up)
maroon ones
navy ones (lots of holes)
-
athletic shorts (shiny, no pockets)
-
athletic shorts (cloth, useless pockets, keys fall out)
-
blue canvas shorts with many pockets
-
beige canvas shorts with many pockets
-
t-shirts
numerous white ones
2 grey ones, at least one of which having mango stains all down the front
a black one
an orange one (serious road-filth stains from bicycle tire splash-up)
two SDF shirts (black and...taupe. taupe has some holes)
washington nationals
washington wizards
2 unitarian shirts (too small)
2 canal-related shirts (too small)
-
papa johns uniform
red shirt
dickies
suspenders (not part of the uniform, but necessary to keep the dickies up -- i wear them over a white t-shirt, and under the uniform top)
- shoes
stinky leather sandals
boot-like shoes
"work" boots
velcro sneakers (holes in the bottom -- bad in the rain)
- suit, i think accompanied by two or possibly three ties, one of which i've literally had since i was 10.
- various button down shirts in various solid colors (three?)
-
a pair of normal pants ("slacks")
- my one weird flowered black-and-white collared hawaiian shirt from wal mart, which i got in california
- a pair of 80s-looking really thick fabric stonewashed jeans. i hate them
- maybe some other jeans. i forget. yeah, one other pair of normal blue jeans.
- winter coat, gloves, earmuffs (no hat)
- hoodies
navy (ancient)
navy (new)
grey (new)
- numerous socks that don't really fit, have holes in them, or are dirty
- numerous white boxer briefs
- a single pair of black boxer briefs
- eyeglasses
- huge amount of wrinkled stuff in different sizes that's in my closet, that i will never wear. i have not thrown an article of clothing away since junior high school. all t-shirts that have gone missing were stolen.
i used to shave my head every few weeks, but i decided to try to look a little bit more normal and less scary, and am letting it grow out. i shave my cheeks and neck sometimes, and trim my goattee sometimes. sometimes i even tweeze the hairs of my unibrow.
anyway, i think that's basically it. as you can see, i am a fashion plate extra-ordinaire. putting effort into personal appearance seems desperate and depressing to me -- it's like an admission of "my self worth is entirely determined by what others think about me".
