WTF?!
So you don't follow that stuff, yet you went on to label yourself various things, claiming you have 'full right' to use a term?!?! :eek2:
So do the majority of people, but they still end up in a 'group'.
Well some days I will wear a hoody and baggy jeans, another day floaty skirt and cami top, then maybe a shirt with some jeans, a dress and a cardi, linen trousers and tee. Now that really does not fit into a group. I fucking hate it when you are told that you have to fit into a group. Obviously the more extreme dress styles stand out, but most people do not!!
no 1 = when im well (i.e not got a cold) i wear girly stuff
and no2 = wen im ill - i.e a cold/hungover/ period pains its usually a hoody and velour tracksuit bottoms so nice and comfortable but wouldnt want anyone to see me dead in it as i look well silly.
I can't be arsed to fight the pigeon hole-ing, it happens and tbh as long as you're comfy being who/what you are, who cares.
I understand all the 'who cares' stuff but at the same time I LOVED being a b-girl and feeling like I belonged to a group of people with similar tastes and interests, who I could recognise in the street or a club and I dunno, just that sense of belonging, like pride in your uniform. I was talking about this just last night with a friend who's going to join the army and I am jealous of how she will soon belong to a 'group'. I dunno, it completely totally doesn't matter at all but at the same time it does feel nice.

everyone else (the majority) was known as dave or sarah or something similar.
Slowly I'm going away from my baggy pants (rather old, half ragged sir benni miles etc), zip-up hoodies etc, but I still love them.
But generally, I do have a soft spot for my retro-style stuff.
