Personal Adornment

I do not really represent my beliefs through my clothing; however, I do believe in respecting yourself and others and therefore not inappropriately revealing my body. I also believe in individuality and I try to incorporate that through dramatic jewelry or accessories. I think for a lot of people personal adornment is their personal way of representing their individuality and uniqueness and while I completely respect and understand that I try to let my personality represent my individuality. I have my insecurities, like many people, and therefore shy away from clothing that makes me feel uncomfortable. Since I have been at school I have gained a better understanding of my comfort zone. I do not dress up for class because I don't see the point. I am here to learn and while I get ready for class I dress comfortably. The weekends are my time to dress up because I am not just sitting in a classroom being lectured all day. My clothing style also changes with the seasons but I think that is a natural tendency for people to change their clothing in relation to the weather. My style has pretty much remained constant throughout the years. I have never been one to get really dressed up or enjoy wearing high fashion clothing. While I enjoy shopping and getting new clothes the increased prices for clothing has made it difficult to indulge. My family has always enforced the morals that you must take care of yourself and respect yourself by putting time into your body and mind. My modest style has a lot to do with where I am from because the laid back community that I grew up in did not necessarily promote high fashion. While it is nice to get dressed up once in a while I will almost always pick comfort over fashion.
