Chu Style
I was looking at some old pics a few days ago and I realized that... well I've always dressed a little funny. Translated that means that I'm whats know as "fashion impaired". It might partially be due to the fact that I let my mom dress me until I was 12. =.= What!? I've never been a morning person D : so I was always to sleep to argue in the morning before I had to go to school! It wasn't until I started to go to private school that I started paying any attention to how I dressed.
Sadly for me -.- ... my fashion impairment leads to me wearing some preeeetty weird things. D : And due to my slightly obsessive personality ... once I think something looks ok -.- I'll wear it until proven otherwise ... and I won't wear it just sometimes.. I'll wear it a LOT. Take for example my bandanna phase.
For about 5 months I constantly wore a bandanna on my head. Now there is nothing wrong with wearing on sometimes. In fact a bandanna can look really nice on some people...but when you wear one 24/7 for a full 60 days ... people start to look at you a little funny. Finally I woke up one day and put aside my bandanna (...yeah thats the other thing -.- I wore the same design all the time D : I had two almost identical ones.) My friends were all smiles that I'd finally become normal again =.= and then I discovered the acorn hat.
The acorn hat is a hat my mom wore in the 70s I think. It literally looks... like an acorn -.- you know the part that the nutty part of the acorn is attached to. D : Yeeeaaah I sorta started wearing THAT everyday. My friends : D turned into D : again and the strange looks returned full force! -.-
As you can see for about an entire year... my hair never saw the light of day. Then a miracle happened! D : .......... actually a miracle didn't happen I just switched obsessions again. -.- I turned into whats known as "a prep"....well a prep wanna be. The year that followed was full of miniskirts and ribbon belts... pastel colors and those little kitten heels...oh and cheer leading shorts D :
Then one year later a new obsession! -.- Sweaters... D : I have a small army of them... why? Because I wore them ALL THE TIME. In Florida D : which is just as hot as Singapore. =.=
Then came the 80s style hair... like some strange lion mane....
They (don't ask who they are) always say that teenagers try to "find themselves" through their appearance. -.- I was one looooost little girl. Now of course I dress a little bit to old for my actual age .. leading people to assume I'm 23 or something vs my actual age of 18 (or technically almost 18 : D 6 more days!) I think the fact that I've stopped experimenting with my er...style ( -.- if u can call what I wore before..stylish D : ...nope u cant..it was just weird) is a sign I'm finally starting to "settle down" in terms of my personality and likes and dislikes. The search for self is finally starting to enter its final stage.
