Yesterday, in a moment of weakness, I stopped by Zara in search of a new pair of pants. Turns out the search was successful (see below images as evidence), but that isn’t the point of this story. The point is this: Whilst shopping I overheard a young lady describe a blouse as “something a nice person would wear.” And, despite some speculation over twitter, I am pretty sure she meant it as a descriptor as well as a compliment.
But here’s the thing: I am confused. I didn’t like the blouse, ergo am I a mean person? Is “nice personality” a style? You are nice therefore you must like lace? I truthfully have never thought of personal style as a reflection of one’s
personality in this way, although that is sort of the point…isn’t it? Hipster, yes. Prep, yes. But jerk, sweetheart or “nice”? Never have I ever. So I went home and trolled through my closet looking for a descriptor about the personality that might somehow be reflected in my closet.
All I could come up with was schizophrenic.
