Today, I really missed color guard. In order to fill that missing void, I decided to wear my color guard jacket. I love this jacket because it has my name imbroidered on the breast. Wearing this definitely put a smile on my face because I genuinely miss the entire activity. I have been comtemplating on coming out of retirement, but I would like to experience college for what it is without the distraction of color guard. So, I have decided to continue color guard after I have graduated college. After wearing this jacket, I realized that clothes (in my opnion) have sentimental value in my life.

Day 28
I wanted to end this experiment in style. I began in style, and I would like to end it in style. So, I decided to try something that I have never tried before; a turtleneck. One of the most surprising things about the turtleneck is that it keeps you warm. I loved that because the weather was windy and I didn't feel cold. I also got a compliment from one of my fraternity brothers telling me that the sweater made me look slimmer than I already am. I was kind of offended because I am super skinny in the first place, but then again it made me look nice (I'm not cocky, I swear). This was the perfect outfit to end my experiment with because it describes me so well; simple and cool.
Simley face,

Summary
Overall, this experience was quite stressful. Thinking about what I am going to be wearing everyday was overwhelming. I got so used to dressing up like I don't give a damn to having the mentality of dressing to impress. I enjoyed the days when I dressed comfortably because I liked the feeling of comfort. I also liked the days when I dressed really nice because it made me feel good about myself. I have concluded that clothes affect my mood and I also correlate my outfit with the weather. I feel as if this experiment would have been easier if I had done this in the spring or summer time because I could do so much more with my outfits. In the end, this was a learning experience that I am grateful for. I will continue to think about the way I dress ALL THE TIME, but for now, I am going to take a break. I just want to dress like a normal college student and not care to impress anyone else.
You know you love me. XOXO,
Andrew Kunz ;)
I really like how you posted something every day! Kudos for that. I've noticed that since I've been in college, I rarely dress "nice." Its basically jeans and a sweatshirt for me...everyday. I'd rather sleep in a few extra minutes than plan my outfit. It seems like your project was a success though! I like how you correlate your mood to your clothing choices. Good job on your experiment!
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed that you were able to create 30 different outfits during this experiment. I like the fact that you didn't have enough clothes to pull it off, but you mixed and matched so that you could come up with ideas that you never would have thought of. Because you are a fashion design major I think that it is great that you challenge yourself in this way.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a job well done!
