What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
Dress however I wanted and not worry about where I'm going and who is going to see me.
You might assume what I'm getting at is a desire to just wear jogging pants all the time, and while I would definitely make some trips to Wal-Mart wearing my favourite jogging pants I would also grocery shop in my prom dress. I hate worrying about being over dressed or under dressed and if we all just wore whatever we wanted to when we wanted to with the understanding that sometimes you need to dress up and other times putting on real pants is just too much to ask.
I get a taste of this during the summer. After a week of wearing neon Nike running shorts, baggy t-shirts, jogging pants and hoodies you just want to wear some real clothes. I have made more trips to the Camp Town Wal-Mart wearing cute sundresses, perfect make up and hair than I can count. And I've never made the trip alone, Wal-Mart and Subway have seen some of the best summer outfits from the female camp staff.
On the flip side as AD sometimes I will have to go into town to run an errand during the middle of the session. I once wore leggings, knee socks, pink rubber boots, tie-dye, a winter hat, no make up and my hair in two braids into Sobey's. I got some great looks. Although they could have been because I was buying 20L of olive oil, birthday candles and a bag of Twizzlers for the drive back to camp.
Back in the real world though people are excepted to dress a certain way to go certain places. And if nobody was going to judge me then I'd wear whatever I want where ever I wanted to wear it!
What would you do in a judge-less society?

I agree, I'd love to be able to wear more comfortable clothes to work! And eat nachos every day :)
ReplyDeleteah it would be so nice to wear wherever we want. I kinda hate getting dressed up for work so it would be nice to even just wear a t shirt and jeans.

Early mornings would be much better if I didn't have to wake up earlier to put some make up on. :)
ReplyDeleteI would live off of bagels and coffee--yum!!
