    Well I live in two worlds: the world where I am a student and must function among everyday people without too many odd looks. There I look much like any other college student. If you don't notice the year round knit hats, rubber boots most days, or other odd details. I don't own anything tartan or dress up nicely in any way. not when I can help it. On the other hand, Yeti likes dressing nice.

    The other world is 18th century reenacting. I tend to go the whole nine yards and try and be as much of a perfectionist as I can be, i'm not totally there yet but I am honestly more comfortable and at home in these clothes than I am any other time.


    That's me in the purple. If I don't look totally comfy that's because I'm standing in 90F sunshine in a fashion show and I've been forced to not only wear my poor woman leather stays, but my wool jacket over them.

    I like that. Yeah, you can't wear it to class, but I like it anyway. I think it's the straw hat...

    Dunno... I've always imagined that's how students at Berea (KY) College dressed. But String's at a different KY school.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    As far as I know berea's students don't dress like that. They tend to lean more towards the grungy hippy look

    PS, If Yeti is reading, I need new jammies ;)

    Here is my wife just before heading down to the local to celebrate Tartan Day Eve. She's wearing her NYC tartan mini. It can be dressed down or up depending on the mood.
