High School

So I was watching a Target back to school commercial and I finally found something I miss about high school. How fun it was to dress. I cringe almost to the point of straining when I see the kind of stuff I wore but high school was all about clothes that created a persona. I wore a nightgown and boots to school once and thought it was the best thing ever. There is picture in my yearbook of me in an english bowler hat. I don't know how my parents weren't reduced to tears of laughter every morning when I went to school. I purposely bought a paisley scarf and wore it. I wore shorts in the winter. I should call my parents and tell them that I love them for purchasing those hideous clothes for me and allowing me to express myself in clothing that way. The point is that dressing isn't fun like that anymore. I don't recall ever thinking about how long I would have to walk when figuring out what shoes to wear or considering the weather at all. I just wanted to project a certain image. Nevermind the image was goofy, every fall was the fun of becoming something new.
