Anyone who has read this blog for even a fleeting period of time knows that I am not a tee shirt and jeans (or shorts) kind of person. Nothing against that kind person, after all everyone has value and I enjoy different perspectives, but it's not me. It was someone I tried to be once; I spent much of high school in a uniform of jeans and tee shirts, but these sartorial decisions were driven by a desire to not call attention to myself and a self-consciousness over my pale (often bruised and bitten) legs. As I've gotten more comfortable with expressing myself through clothes I've donated nearly every tee shirt and thrust all jeans to the back of my wardrobe. However, on occasion, it is nice to choose a comfy tee and an easy pair of shorts. It's also nice to know I'm choosing those items now not from self-consciousness, but rather for variety.
