after going home this weekend and watching my sister get ready in the morning, i feel like a sloppy hippie. don't get me wrong, i'm a daily shower-er. i wear clean, simple clothes every day and i smell relatively pleasant. however, i don't wear a layer of make-up. i don't curl my hair or use product, and often i don't even blow-dry my hair. sometimes i wear socks and sometimes i don't, and i especially don't wear a matching piece of jewelery. i haven't had a professional haircut in over 3 years (every hair cut has been DIY, thank you very much!). i don't get my nails done. what would be the point, they'd be wrecked in a matter of hours... and so i come back to my apartment in pullman contemplative...
how would my life differ if i gave a shit about the sort of things my little sister does? if i used a curling iron and a wand of mascara every morning, would i....? the fact that i'm single isn't what i mean, either. i mean would i be more successful? would more people approach me? would less? ... what sort of judgements would people make when seeing me, as opposed to what they feel now?
just a thought.

Yes. It will change your life. I thought the same thing this summer. Especially starting over in a new place. I do it all when I get ready in the morning. It's hard. But I find, for me, it helps with my professionalism. I feel like I can approach a business and ask questions, and that I'm taking this seriously.
Now I just have to keep it up all year. Can you believe that? Me. Me not wearing jeans or tshirts.
it feels like if i dress to impress every day, it'll be an expensive habit, as i would ruin each and every thing with paint, glue, or holes. oh the disaster of being an arty kid. so what, do i keep seperate wardrobes for 'leaving the studio for the night'? or only when i plan on seeing outside humans? what's the difference, and what consists of an 'outside human'? excludes the roommate? the daily visitors? the people outside the art department?
why do i continue to ask ask ask?
