Completely incidental to the clothes-bashing that's been going on, I bought some black trousers at the GAP today, since I need them for all sorts of things. The best bit about them, besides their comfort-level? I can toss 'em in the wash! As for their appearance, I think they look OK on me. It's kinda hard to tell without anyone around to advise. But I didn't know where people were, and these needed to be bought now.

On an unrelated topic, it's very strange seeing all the discussion about Freshers' battle practice on the Wychwood mailing list. I'm nearly (or more than?) halfway through my own damned semester, already!!!

Bashing? Mea culpa...

This is actually a tough topic even when you've been friends with someone for a long time: Any kind of critique-- especially about something that could be considered not mere clothing but a reflection of personal style and, therefore, personality traits-- is hardly ever welcome, as well-meant as it is (which, with real friends, not those hawk-eyed chits one hangs with sometimes, is a given). Of course, I had no real idea, so it may have come across a bit harsh, indeed-- I just felt like weighing in on the T-shirt issue because it is something I have thought about and discussed at length before acting accordingly. Sorry if I stepped on your wick. It's just that I have to agree with vervealemania who says there are compelling reasons for trying to bring out the best in people you care for...

Oh, no, don't worry, I tend to tell people if I'm actually cross with or offended by them. :)

And I'm used to the whole t-shirt thing by now, after a year spent around mciac.... *grin*

i must say i empathise with mciac a bit because I have spent a lot of time recently trying to persude complilerbitch out of her Black Tshirt And Blue Jeans geek uniform and its a tough battle! she is very attractive, and it would be nice if the world could see more of it - and if i could, too, of course *halo*.

i use clothes as a mood alteration instrument nowdays - i wear "how i want to be feeling", and it helps me get into that frame of mind. a lot of my friends are now uncomfortable with the way i dress actually, because i used to be "hippygoth" but got bored of it and now look like an average human on the train just plainer and darker. and some people say i lost my dress personality - oh dear!

could not possibly comment on darcydodo as i have met her in person a grand total of once!

*looks around sheepishly*

*reminds audience that she is completely sans money right now, but is willing to comply with clothes buying requirements when funds allow*

nooo it wasnt a criticism you silly, i am very much in favour completely independently of the mode of dress/presence thereof

Hey babe,

Just to be contrary to the general flow, I think you look great whatever you wear.

But then again, I tend to judge how good somebody looks from their voice... (joking, partly at least)

Be yourself. If anybody doesn't like it then they can bugger off.

love always
