My turn! Its been so long! Just got back from a lovely three day weekend trip that was truly amazing. I'm officially ready to get down and write for all you people!
Question; "Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked." Answer; I'm so glad that I have a reasonably appropriate question this time. The truth of the matter is that I don't wear scarves. Ever. I have like... two scarves and I only break them out when absolutely necessary. The first scarf I ever bought was at H&M and it is this dark gray number that was woven in this really cool plaid pattern. I had liked it originally, but like... as soon as I had worn it for one day, my friends started talking about how it was a keffiyeh and it had this whole other meaning and they were sorta making me feel ignorant as to the war that is going on in the Middle East. However, since I can never fully come to realize my ignorance just because people try and tell me that I don't know the messages that I relay through my clothing or whatever, I went and researched these keffiyehs and I quickly found out that this scarf I bought looked nothing like a keffiyeh except for the fact that it had tassels on the end of it. Anyways, even though I found this out, I just completely stopped wearing the scarf because people keep on talking to me about it and I don't want to hear the same redundant story over and over again. Of course, in reality, I support the message behind the keffiyeh, but I figure since I'm some white teenager, I must not know anything at all about that stuff. Anyways, as for my naked neck, I constantly tell those who I talk fashion to that I just can't rock the scarf. And, if you know me, a cold neck is nothing compared to looking good. In all honesty, if I found a way to wear a scarf in a reasonably fashionable fashion, I would like... rock it night and day, 24/7. But I cannot imagine how one would go about wearing a scarf while sporting tees and skinny jeans. I've tried it before and I just look pretentious. Plus there's the whole deal about matching colors because I hate super sporadic color schemes and I always focus towards the monochromatic schemes or contrasting colors, with occasionaly mixes, but I definitely don't like going past like.... two colors in an outfit or something, and all the scarves I see are either super colorful or super bland, neither of which I am particularly keen on wearing. However, if anyone happens to know of a nice scarf to add to my remote, infinitesimally small collection of accessories, I would love to hear about it. Who knows? Maybe my neck will start having some clothes of its own. Labels: Tristan |
