String Theory

Just mildly scaring the good people of Toronto. Nbd. I was feeling dark and twisty. Also, I felt like I hadn't done a straight up "weird" outfit in awhile. Being cooped up and studying day-in and day-out has severely affected my mojo. I barely have time to think about interesting clothing combinations or to give thought to what pieces in my wardrobe aren't getting enough wear, so I can breathe new life into my closet. It has been getting really hard to even make it outside, these days. So, I had to do something.

I was more nervous than usual about wearing this outfit. I'm no stranger to wearing dark, edgy, properly scary outfits. It's just the reactions I've gotten in outfits that I personally considered to be quite "normal, but interesting," made me think twice about wearing this outfit, since it's clearly outside the scope of what people in this town are used to seeing. Heh. I know I could have pushed it even farther, but I held back, because of that reaction factor. In hindsight, I regret letting the prospective feelings of others dictate how I sculpted my outfit. I'm still trying to get a feel for what people are like around here.

In the end, heads turned, as to be expected, but no one balked. So, that's a good sign. Heh. Honestly, I don't think this outfit is that out of the ordinary, at all. I toned it down a lot and kept it simple with a black bell sleeved sweater tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt. I wore my black fringe poncho as a chunky scarf and then added the brightly coloured leggings and fringe bag for more colour and texture.

Ultimately, I got to be all dark and twisty, but without managing to scare people and get arrested or something. I don't know. Haha. There seem to be a lot of uptight people, here. It's getting to me, but I'm going to just try to stay true to my own personal aesthetic, while respecting certain boundaries. :P

How cool are these leggings! I remember when blogging just started and these leggings were my biggest craving, everyone wanted to own a pair of these. And they still rock!

Love the tights!

What neighbourhood are you in? I find it super hard to imagine that people did much other than give you a second glance. On Queen West, Parkdale, Trinity Bellwoods, China Town etc this would be considered normal. Maybe you need to switch up your neighbourhood?

I quickly discovered that I wasn't in the right neighborhood. Haha. I mean, we didn't have much in the way of choices. Housing prices are out of control. So, I'm super grateful to be in the High Park/Junction area. Unfortunately, I've only been able to go places within walking distance of our place, lately, because I've been so busy and I have to wake up early pretty much every day. So, it's mostly the Junction where I go hang out and it just seems really stuffy up there. Lot of well-to-do, I'm carrying my yoga mat types. Heh. There's nothing wrong with that state of affairs, mind you, it's just those kinds of folks tend not to appreciate things that are out of the ordinary, is all. *shrug*

I get stared at on the train a lot, too, though. I always thought people on the train were generally unphased by things, given there's always at least a few strange folks that frequent such mode of transport, but yeah, I still manage to stick out like a sore thumb even in the public transit eco-system. So, I dunno.

I definitely need to get out more, I know that for sure. Haha. Now, that I've finally finished all of my required reading for my exams, I look forward to doing just that! Thanks for the heads up!
