So I have this sort of terrible/awesome idea (it has to do with Hollister Co., which is what makes my idea terrible). Since at least freshman year, and maybe even before that, I have wanted a school uniform. I don't want some crappy plaid skirt and an ugly polo- I don't want my daily outfit to be hideous, I just want it to be the same. And it's not at all about having the same outfit as everybody else, I could honestly give a shit about what my classmates wear, I just don't like picking out clothes. I know, I know, AP Lang brain, it is clear that public school has destroyed my sense of creativity to the point where I don't even want to pick out an outfit every day, but it's true. I do not. I am sick of picking out clothes every morning.
Having a daily, Hayley-specific uniform would make my mornings just a little less stressful and rushed. Especially with gymnastics season approaching. From here, it is looking like we may have workouts/practices five or six times a week, and if I did not have to worry about picking out clothes for school, my life would be simpler. And it's not like I would never use the clothes I already have in my closet- I would wear them to work, out to dinner, on weekends and in college.
So I am considering an experiment: to create and wear a personal uniform for at least a month. I will buy five polo shirts, one for each day of the school week. Currently I am planning on buying them from Hollister- that's the Hollister part. I am thinking black pants as bottoms, either my black jeans or leggings or a skirt with black tights or sweatpants. Which means that I am leaving part of my outfit to my own discretion on that particular day, as well as whatever accessories, sweaters etc I will be wearing.
So when you think about it, I will be rocking a partial uniform. Kind of like the partial block we have at school, just to test the waters.
If I were to do this, which I still have not decided, I will definitely do it for all of November and if I like it, I will most likely continue it through February until gymnastics is over and I have my life back.
The best part is, I can violate my personal uniform whenever I like because it's my own. Hooray.
Does anyone have any different suggestions for the shirt? That's my only qualm about the whole thing- I will look like SUCH a dork with the lanyard and the polo and everything...
i think this is a super creative idea!!! love it har har!
ReplyDeleteand that lanyard thing is perty herlerious.
