How do my fellow geeks dress?

I've been called:

Goth, freak, satanist, satan, "holy shit!", psycho, "you dress like an asshole", evil, raver, asian-wannabe (still trying to figure that one out), depressed, and homocidal.

needles to say, i'm against labels =)
but, if forced to classify myself, i'd have to say I dress a a "freak"/"goth"

I dress in  whatever is:

1) Comfortable
b) Affordable
Zebra) Looks ok.

The closest I can describe my style of dress is "old man nerd slacker".

Or something.

the clothes i wear could prolly be described as skatey style... i like the baggy pants. but lately its been trakey dacks and slopey joes (winter) so i geuss its just daggy. although i do have a tendancy to goth clothes but in the small comunity where i live (1500 people) it would not fit in to well. so i steer clear.

Black shoes, black hat Cadalac!

Ok, enough of that.

Uh... I dress casually... such as jeans and a matching shirt, or khakis and a matching shirt. I don't wear any of that crap that says, "MECCA"  on the front of it, or something that says, "I <3 this band". I try not to advertise for something that I don't own.

I like cute.Low rise Levi's(or the el cheapo Wal-Mart version on occasion though they never fit my ass right)and a shirt.I wear shorts if its hot,a skirt if im doing something with some semblence of importance.I try not to dress too slutty since I have two kids and self respect and all,but todays styles make it pretty difficult.
It was a lot easier in high school when i just wore baggy clothes and converses.oh and dammit dont be afraid to accesorize,Claires all the way.

Wow... you just reminded me of something about our mall here.  There's TWO Claires Accessories in the same mall.  I think that's pretty messed up.  I have no idea why there's two of 'em, but there are.

I literally am not even allowed to go in there when my hubby is with me.He says I get sucked in there and even though it seems like its only been 5 or 10 minutes,in fact he's waited outside for over an hour.
I have to take a sister or friend in with me now :cry:

Anything confortable. Usually blue jeans, a little loose but not "ghanghstah" loose, shoes of a brand no one has heard of (why should anyone care about your shoes?) and a t-shirt with white on it. Or maybe some t-shirt I got on a vacation.

Typically anythin comfy enough to move around in... not that I need to move around much unless at work... though at work we hafta wear pants...

Sometimes I'll look and notice that I'm wearing a T-shirt with a witty sarcastic saying on it.

Some of my T's are kinda tight.... That's weight fluctuation for ya...
Dramatization: (last year) "160? Best shape up." (months later) "145... Better..." (months later) "130? Oh sh**..." (within the span of the next few months) "140... 135... 130... 135... 130... 140... The f***?" (2 week summer vacation) "150? G*ddammit..." (Heh.. mom certainly didn't help my self-image here much, and I'll leave it at that....)

Oh yeah *flex*

You mean you would walk around at K-Mart without any pants on if you could?

I think he did. That would explained why they had to close so many stores lately.

You've got to start back-to-school shopping.

You've got to have the goods when you get back to school! Afterall, you don't want some kid making fun of you because you don't have the right l33t shoes!

Wow, that's just like me, instead of "hated" it's really "hate".

Of course, if one of the techers were to see this, they would throw a fit and tell me, "take that down or you can't come to school!" I'd just chose not to go into school.

I don't understand schools that kick kids out for what they write on their own webpages.  I keep hearing about kids getting suspended for making a website... Weird Tingly Feeling.

I think this year I'm going to aim on making them mad at me for this stuff. I just need some ideas and some ways on getting them to actually find it. Afterall, this place isn't AOL.
