Smaggle

Lately I have been craving colours – I think it’s a reaction to the grey Melbourne skies and my own grey moods. One day I wore a black skirt, a red jumper, a royal-blue cardigan, canary yellow tights, bright blue shoes and an orange scarf. It definitely worked to cut through all that grey, and put smiles on the faces of my tutor and classmates!

Aside from the obvious, it’s ‘who’s going to see me?’. Am I at home, am I school-teaching, how old are the kids, will I be teaching ballet instead (these poor students do have to look at me all day). Am I going to a meeting, am I going to Pak n Save, do I have to do some physical chores involving kneeling/crawling (not dress-friendly). Am I in a total rut and do I need to make things more interesting?

(And also, of course, “what would Smaggle wear?”)

I generally dress to impress or dress to intimidate. Especially in regards to work: I try to wear slacks and shirts to work with neat looking sweaters because most of my coworkers wear track pants and lumionus yellow vests; and I’m a snob and I aim to set myself appart from them.

I totally agree with Current Inspiration though: since discovering your Blog I have been trying to find a way to sucessfully wear an obi belt, to little avail

My reasons seem to be very similar to yours and inspiration plays a role as well.
Plus, sometimes I dress to cheer myself up: really fancy or bright, when I’m feeling glum.

Great question. My main three are yours: Weather, walking, destination. But also factored in are level of fatness, level of happiness, and what else has been worn that week. I, like so many, am drawn to the same 5 pieces in my closet over and over, so I make a conscious effort to mix it up.

You’ve pretty much said all the factors I was going to write!

Although I wear clothes I normally wouldnt when I have a date.

And I agree with The Clothes Horse – sometimes I’m not going anywhere, but I’ll dress in crazy bright funky clothes to cheer myself up

Ooo! I just had a peeek at the guy in the photos art:

funky

On reflection I have concluded that subconsciously my dress is totally AFFECTED (I got it right, yes?) by the people I shall be seeing. I am a total mimic
If I will be seeing my super fit old housemate who is currently cycling around kygrstan (or some other stan) I will wear practical sporty no-fuss-things clothes, or if I will be seeing my theatrical better dressed friend (the lovely Lady Smaggle for example) I (usually) try to wear something a little bit interesting (I realise I probably don’t hit the mark on this one).

Oh yes, my mood IS how I dress.

Lilly – I love people who dress in bright colours! It’s never worked on me and I adore the quality in others.

Nadist – Oh you flatter me! I generally dress up all the time. There is only one friend that I dress down for but that’s because we have a tradition of wearing trackies and hoodies and drinking gin together.

Grant – Oh honey! How sad for you… Maybe you could wear one around your head? Karate Kid style?

The Clothes Horse – Me too. If I feel like crap there is nothing better than wearing something smashing!

Sal – I actually have a really high wardrobe turnover. I wear most of the things in my cupboard.

Ivy – I don’t know how I would dress on a date. I haven’t been on one in ages and Mr Smaggle loves the way I dress so I’ve never had to tone it down for him. Oh and this guy is great isn’t he?

Dr Stumpy – Aw that gives me a bit of a shucks!

Hailey – Totally!
