Work Outfit: Artsy

i bought this skirt recently with a bunch of other quirky items, and the lady at the counter actually commented that i have weird taste. she said it with an amused smile, like in a “wow you’re cool” kind of way and not in a “freak much?!” manner, so i just laughed it off. my day-to-day encounters that involve fashion in some way are so bizarre and diverse that i can never form any real opinion on the current state of fashion – or public perception on personal style – here in the country. often i am convinced that people from this side of the world have become more open to fashion in the last few years, but then something happens and i revert back to the belief that the average joe is still not ready for some good ol’ sartorial craziness. i’ve gotten used to this little back-and-forth though so it hardly makes any difference anymore. however i do still make the occasional curious observation on days when i feel like being thoughtful about fashion and not just going “hnnng” with every cute skirt i see in the stores…
