Moving to college and living with three other girls has only magnified this tendancy- that's four closets to pick from, leaving no excuse for anything but the perfect outfit. Every morning and evening is a mad dash back and forth between the rooms of,
"Does anyone have a red belt?"
"I need knee socks. What do you guys have for knee socks?"
"Has anyone seen Blaire's grey sweater? Did you have it last?"
"Can I borrow your black and white skirt?"
I, however, generally have the most specific needs. My pleas for fashion advice tend to be the likes of, I need an outfit that says....
I'm in an awful mood but I'm also cuter than your ex-girlfriend.
I'm going to be studying in the library all day but I want to feel like I'm in an office while I do it.
I have four classes today and one of them is ballet so I have to wear tights but I also want to feel dramatic not ugly.
I'm not really trying (even though I obviously am)
I'm seeing my parents for the first time in two months and I want them to think I look healthy even though I actually feel like crap and need something comfy.
I love you but it is too soon for me to say that but please ask me out again.
I think you get the drift. Generally, whether it be a google search, my roommates, or a phone call to a friend miles away the general consensus seems to be "You can't have an outfit that says something that specific."
Well I say you can. And I will prove it.
