I agree. I love being my own person, with my own thoughts and opinions. Seriously, it doesn't bother me that I'm different and don't fit into any kind of mold (that I've discovered yet anyway). But I know what you mean, it's natural to want to fit in and be accepted, to belong. Sometimes it's hard to reconcile belonging with conformity for the sake of fitting in. It's a balancing act if ever there was one.FRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904827.post-35734780709388332322010-07-19T21:42:21.673+12:002010-07-19T21:42:21.673+12:00Love your epic comments!

So good when people write thoughtful comments - but I'd have to expect that from you :)<br /><br />You're definitely one of the people I consider as one 'alternatively dressed' in a very cool way. It's all about the character-full glasses, black lace-up boots, huge woven scarf and big black trenchcoat! <br />Nice.<br /><br />But it's not so much the style - like you're *trying* to be different, but that your clothes express your difference. <br /><br />People should be true to themselves in that way, I think.. that's why I disapprove of people wearing generic fashions, or bling. It doesn't say anything to themselves of who they are, but what other people think is 'fashionable'. bleugh.<br />You'd feel like a traitor if you did that to yourself I reckon.<br /><br />Of course, I'm a hypocrite. We all do this to a certain extent, some more than others.Lydiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217776444770442149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904827.post-38153953573744101622010-07-18T02:06:42.177+12:002010-07-18T02:06:42.177+12:00...it's something that's often crossed my ......it's something that's often crossed my mind. Love your descriptions of the fashion clans (or, Un-fashion clans!). <br />...where i'm at, girls usually don't reveal much of an individual style till they're pre-tertiary-education-stage. Because they'd be in school uniforms most of the day otherwise.<br />But when they do, there're the sort who don't appear to care and wear ubiquitous and unisex articles of clothing.<br /><br />It even gets tricky, at times, to decide which gender a thus-styled person belongs to. Then you have to avoid addressing them with non-neutral terms.. <br /><br />As to the rest, there's a large group of stylish Conformers, who would get full marks if graded against the pages of popular women's magazines. <br /><br />But one sometimes spots a refreshingly unique and nicely put-together person. Something about the way they tastefully combine various items of dress, some of which look like they've interesting pasts, or simply not from Mango/Zara/Topshop et al., ...<br /><br /><br />i guess i'd like to belong in the last category. No one's really the same inside, any way- external appearance is just about the most changeable part of any person, i think! :) <br /><br />...sorry, this looks really long-winded and almost doesn't belong to the Comment species anymore :)a bite of airhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133137456223840068noreply@blogger.com
