When I entered college my wardrobe changed. I used to dress
up pretty boyish, I like wearing sneakers and rubber shoes. But then it all
changed; I started wearing dolls shoes, sandals and heels. I’m not a fan of
dresses, skirts back then. You couldn’t even let me wear sleeveless tops. I
always wear cover ups, or just wear a jersey jacket or loose shirts. I may not
be a fan of dresses and skirts back then but you couldn’t even let me wear
pants. As far as I remember maybe 4 years ago I only own 2 pairs of pants. You
could find different kinds and colors of shorts inside my closet. But you
wouldn’t find any girly garments, not at all.
When I
entered college, I somewhat adopted how my sister dress up. I started buying
heels instead of sneakers, I started buying doll shoes’ instead of rubber
shoes. I started buying dresses and skirts instead of shorts and jersey
jackets, I started buying sleeveless tops or blouses instead of plain t-shirts.
I became really girly that I myself was shocked because of my wardrobe change.
But hey! I liked it too!
But not
just that. I was a fan of skirts, short shorts, tube dresses. I don’t own any
of those that actually would go beyond my knees. To the point my guy friends
would tell me to pull my dress or skirt down. I do still wear muscle tees but I
don’t pair it with sneakers I still pair it with doll shoes or sandals to
reveal the girly side of me. But then it changed again, well it didn’t I just
somehow tried out something new. I started wearing maxi skirts and dresses and
palazzo pants. I don’t usually wear them before because I think I look really
small. But I loved them so it became one of the garments I usually wear.
We had this “MAKE OVER PROJECT” where my partner would dress me up and me; her partner would dress her up as well. This was her output:
Before After
Even
though my college bestfriend was my partner in this project, still she didn’t
know how I dress back in high schoo. But when she let me wore her clothes my
high school days came back to me. Especially on how I dress myself. I can
really say that I like what she let me wore. Yes I wear sneakers before but I
have never wore sneakers of dark color. So it was still something new to me. As
I was saying earlier I don’t own any clothes that would go beyond my knees, it
was always shorter. This dress may be knee length but also something I have
never worn. She then added a denim polo wrapped around my waist. I was planning
to wear something like this before but I don’t know how to make it look good
since I have never tried it as well. Over all I clearly like the meke over she
did.
This make over project with Ingrid Borja taught me
how to eplore and not just limit myself with what I want instaed I should go
beyond and see what else I can do and try out something new that will still
look like me but in a different way.
Till next!
