Sometimes I get overly dressed up for things, this is something I have done my entire life. I could say I’m just adhering to the “better to be overdressed than under-dressed” rule of thumb, yet I sometimes get dolled up when going to places where I know the majority will be donning jeans and “designer” embroidered sweatshirts. While this outfit would be reasonable (or maybe just pretentious) to wear to a downtown chi-chi theater this was worn to see the new Terminator flick at a big box cinema. But don’t get me wrong, it was a fun date: buncha-crunch, a huge diet pepsi and action stripped down the bare bones: no acting or script, lots of adrenaline. But this is about what I wore, so…digression. With the tilted hat and scarf worn like a cape this outfit was certainly dramatic. I was not exactly having the easiest day emotionally, the highs and lows felt chaotic. I’m not entirely sure what compels me to go for a dramatic outfit in somewhat improper situations but I imagine it has got to be some of the “notice me, but stay away” dynamic that I think goes on in any overly dramatic or extreme fashion. In a movie theater closer to the burbs than the city I didn’t exactly blend into the wallpaper. But this outfit also allowed me to feel safe while my emotions ebbed, those same dramatic aspects of the cloak and hat also created a sense of being hidden, enigmatic. Very cinematic.
