Katherine, you’re so right – adolescents have real trouble pulling off style, because…hello, awkward. And thanks!

Thanks, Amber! It does, and it’s been hard to get my mind around it sometimes. Even still with work clothes, to this day, the ease is the hard part.

I very much enjoyed the dialogue, though thanks for pointing out that you provided both sides. (I couldn’t decide which side was you, as they both sounded like you.)

One time I got the stupid job-interview question of “what is your greatest weakness?” and I leapt on it: “I never know what to wear. I once wore cargo pants to a customer meeting. If you want me to dress a certain way for a certain occasion, you have to tell me explicitly, or I will almost certainly mess it up.”

“I think we can deal with that,” the guy said. (Hey, in my line of work, wardrobe sense is a feature, not a requirement.)

I like Amber’s comment above, too. It almost ceases to matter what people are wearing, if they can carry it off with enough aplomb.

(Logical conclusion: adolescents will look awkward, no matter what they wear.)

I enjoyed reading this. Personal style has so much to do with ease.

There’s not much to miss, as it’s only kernels of truth anyway. Actual details are mostly completely made-up! I was thinking about writing a non-fiction accompanying piece but, uh, so far I haven’t had time.

I can recognize a few of these kernels. But I still feel like I’m missing something.

I can attest they are a sound, sound investment. You think, “$30 for a hemp t-shirt, what do you take me for?” and then you wear and you go, “Oh. Okay.” =)
