Here's to Being Tacky
Here’s to Being Tacky
Here’s to being tacky. I pastime I adore.
Here’s to being tacky, shopping at outlet stores.
Here’s to Uggs. Here’s to Crocs. Here’s to orthopedic shoes.
Here’s to the feet who walk miles in these…at least they are comfortable.
Here’s to Juicy tracksuits, and the moms that wear them.
Here’s to their daughters. Here’s to their single color. Here’s to the purses that go with...

Uggs, Tracksuits, and Other Gross Things
While I am incredibly critical of other peoples’ style, I have a disclaimer to make. I am not here to say that the way I dress is the way that everyone should dress, nor do I think that I make the best outfit decisions all of the time. What I am saying, however is that people should try to look good – not for me, not for their boss, and not for sexual possibilities. I am saying that people should...
Strings
These are a part of myself
My organs
Only
You can see them
They are my clothes
They are my clothes
Mine
and I wear them.
Simply strings
woven together
Sitting on my body
Underneath which I am naked.

This is How I Was Raised
My mother did not teach me much on punctuality. If me having perfectly bouncy curls and the world’s cutest outfit meant being ten minutes late to school, then late I was. She didn’t even let me dress myself or style my own hair until middle school, and even then I was never to leave the house without looking perfect. I was never scolded for leaving the house in something too scandalous...

Eight Dollars
I had stood in line for Space Mountain in silver flats, denim, shredded shorts, and a lime green t-shirt. None of these pieces were all that special, but when they were all put together they fit. Snug on my body like best friends. All of these things lost orphans that I saved from the Goodwill. My friend Kelly examined what I was wearing and said, “I wonder how much this outfit cost.” I thought...

Midriffs, Leggings, and Other Scandalous Things
I will often walk into a classroom and see a teacher taken aback by my wardrobe choice. I might show up to an exam in a t-shirt that I cut up to bare my midriff or substitute leggings for jeans. Perhaps it was due to the freedom that I received upon entering college and not having a dress code, or maybe it’s the fact that deep down I seek attention, but all in all, I am one of the few people who...

Thrifty Adventures
Many people look at thrift shopping as a punishment, or something that is not as rewarding as shopping for things that have not been used, such as things from the mall. I’ve had a different kind of experience with thrift store shopping. In fact, according to Fleura Bardhi and Eric J. Arnould in Thrif shopping: Combining utilitarian thrift and hedonic treat benefits, “Taking a...

What Clothes Reveal
When I walk through a thrift store, each piece of clothing has a story to me. Everything has a musty smell to it, because it has sat in closets for far too long, and then finally passed along to a Buffalo Exchange or Goodwill.
When I come across something beautiful, I wonder why it was abandoned. The owner could have struggled to squeeze in one more wear, but their weight...

Threads and Outcasts
In my own research, I surveyed 100 people and asked them various questions about bullying and finding creative outlets. 22% of the people who responded were male and 78% of the people who responded were female.
I knew that these results would be skewed just by the fact that so many of the respondents were female. The way that girls bully each other, whether we like to believe or not,...

Nudity
Clothing is not some materialistic obsession that I have. I do not thirst for trips to the mall nor do I ever wish to have a closet full of hundreds of shoes. Someone could waltz into my closet and take every single article of clothing that I have, and I would be okay with that.
I wonder daily why people are afraid of words such as Vagina or Penis. I have uttered this word and people...
