Yes...and where have you interpreted me to be saying don't be contrary? Be contrary, be contrary all day long, that doesn't mean I can't challenge or question that opinion, I'm just questioning the nature of your particular contrary opinion as i think it's full of shit, that isn't to say you shouldn't be contrary any more than 'I've never sat well with the idea of 'don't be contrary' ' is saying that every time a contrary opinion is presented that it is infallible by default :lol: You've not thought this through, have you? :lol:

For me, it's a balance.

If it's my day off and I don't plan on doing anything in particular, I have no problem taking a trip to the supermarket in a t-shirt and basketball shorts. As a matter of fact, I just went a picked up a pizza in basketball shorts and sandals.... :D

On the other hand, it feels good to make yourself look good for the right occasion. I usually wear either polo/golf shirts w/ dress pants or shirts/ties for work. If I go out somewhere, (like a club/lounge, bar,etc. )I usually wear a "cool looking" shirt with designer jeans and a decent looking pair of shoes.

For "daytime" clothing, if I'm going to a park or the beach, I usually put on a golf shirt with khaki shorts...with either sandals or sneakers.

Ha, I never cared what anybody thought of what I wear. It's a proud tradition really. In highschool I was the oddball with baggy pants, long hair, wide bandshirts.. In college and uni I was the guy in the kilt or the large yellow tartan 3/4 shorts. Or the corduroy patch 70's pants. I liked being the odd one out. Never had a problem with it. I also used to dig the reactions. From giggling 14 year olds laughing at me to old ladies stopping me on the street to tell me they liked seeing a young person wearing such colourful clothing (that actually happened, more than once). I always cared about looks, but never about fashion. I just did what I thought was fun, and I dug the reactions. Positive and negative. Yes, I did mellow out (or grow up?) a bit, but I still like that. I don't mind showing up at work in jeans and a bandshirt. I don't mind wearing a pyjama or sweatpants to the store/supermarket. I've always thought fashion is awfully pretentious. Still a bit of an alternative teen at heart maybe. ;)

I didn't get dressed this morning. Think about that.

Yeah but you spent your morning in your basement with a young bodybuilder gaffer taped to a chair so it don't count :lol:

Sounds like a giant attention whore to me.
