Ten Reasons Why I'm Not a Fashionista
1. I don't wear any jewelry besides my wedding ring. Once upon a time I wore earrings and even sometimes necklaces, but I haven't done either for years. I've always hated bracelets.
2. Those tall leather boots with big heels really scare me.
3. Actually, I don't like to wear any shoes with heels. I prefer not to wear shoes at all, so the less shoe the better.
4. I like to wear jumpers. With white cotton knee-highs underneath to keep my legs warm. I don't really like to wear shirt and skirt combos, so I'm counting down until Little Dude stops nursing so I can wear dresses to church again.
5. I hate wearing makeup and I have no idea how to put it on. I will sometimes wear some powder, mascara and lip gloss if I want to be "fancy" and distract people from looking at my zits.
6. I don't like wearing black clothes. I don't like white clothes either, because I'm always afraid of getting them dirty.
7. I hate layering clothes, so I've never gotten into the whole "wear three shirts at a time" thing.
8. I only own white cotton socks and a few pairs of tights for Sundays. No fancy socks for me.
9. Even though I'm short, I don't buy petite pants, so all of my pants drag on the ground and get dirty and frayed at the edges.
10. I don't like three-quarter sleeves, shawl collars, loud prints, fancy glittery embellishments, or anything that will call attention to myself.

It is not too late, however, to become a thashionista.
And being a fashionista's over-rated, anyway. A thashionista on the other hand ...
What drives me crazy now is all the nasty leggings under everyone's clothes. Blah.
2. That's why I wear them. (I mean,
not to scare you; to scare freshlings. Sorrs about it if I've ever scared you . . . )
3. Although I find shoes uncomfortable, I nonetheles buy them in enormous quantities. (It makes sense if you think about it in terms of patriarchy.)
4. Jumpers are cozy, I agree. I far prefer skirts and tops to dresses, though.
5. I wear make-up most of the time too. Especially with the rainbow-hair, it looks weird if it my skin's not all one color.
6. I rarely wear white, but I love black. It makes me seem scary.
7. I love layering clothes, but a lot of that probably has to do with the fact that I can't pass up a cheap clo, even if it's entirely slutty. Layering is the only way to wear more than half the things I own.
8. But fishnets?
9. I do this too, and eventually the bottom few inches just give in and rip off, which looks even weirder. Fortunatley, looking weird doesn't bother me much. (See everything above.)
10. or anything that will call attentin to myself
This is probably the fundamental point of idealogical divergence between us.
And that's why no man will ever love me.
