My Fashion

They told us that the dress codes made it easier for the kids because they didn't have to worry about buying nice clothing, and trying to empress people, yet in a way everyone wanted to be at least a little bit different. Some girls would wear pants everyday and others would wear skirts because they knew that if they wore a skirt the guys would look at their legs. I think that the point of people wanting to be similar but still stand out can be compared to the larger culture of what people want. Everyone wants to look similar to the people around them, but not exactly the same. For example, if everyone is wearing blue shirts, some people might want to wear a blue button-down because that is still the same color but different than just the plain shirt.
             My second style can out when I started following in the footsteps of a close friend of mine. My best friend in private school was a kid by the name of Danny Mufson. Danny was a trendsetter. He would go to vintage stores and buy used clothing. Wanting to be like Danny, I copied his trend. I went to Urban Outfitters and bought shirts that looked vintage and then would try to find unusual ways to wear them. People would come up to Danny and I on the street and ask us where we got our shirts or pants, and we would lie and tell them somewhere else because we didn't want them to try and get the same thing as us. I wanted people to look at me and think I looked older. Even when I was a little boy I always wanted to be older. People would ask me how old I was and I would tell them two years older than I really was. I guess wearing this type of clothing came me a sense of security. I wasn't necessarily on my own because I dressed like Danny. He was my scapegoat. If someone told me that they didn't like my shirt, I could always say, "Well, Danny has the same one too." I tried to break away from what everyone else was doing and be an individual.
