So – I buy clothes that I love. For example, one shirt I bought I find classy, elegant, and beautiful – I love wearing it. HOWEVER, before buying it, I chatted with 2 guys online. One of them said it looked old fashioned and like a teacher (what’s wrong w/teachers btw?) and the other guy told me it was too conservative even though he had said that he likes girls to dress conservatively.
Then lately I showed 2 guys a photo of me wearing it and one said it’s old fashioned and the other one said it makes me look unapproachable (since when does what you wear make you seem approachable or not? isn’t it about if you have a smile on your face?)
That shirt was a sleeveless silk chiffon blouse that started at the neck and has a black ribbon in the back. When I got it a lot of girls online said it was awful and old fashioned and they’d rather wear a trash bag. At the time I thought they were just upset because I mentioned I bought it from Dolce and Gabbana, but after hearing guys’ comments I’m starting to think my shirt really is terrible. Also I asked this girl yesterday whose major is design and she says it makes me look old. (Since when is age determined by what you wear, not your face/arms and wrinkles?)
And my other shirt I really like and the design girl said the cut is unflattering (it’s just a normal v-neck) and she said I should never wear patterns. This guy also said he doesn’t like the v-neck. And the girls from earlier said it looks like something worn by someone living in the basement with their cats, something worse than what their grandmother wears, etc.
So now I’m wondering…people online hate my clothes….do people in real life mostly hate my clothes too? Sure, I understand you should wear what you like, but if 99% of people look at my clothes and think “ewwwww that looks so bad,” honestly I’d rather avoid attracting negative attention.
