Youth in Southern Cali are wearing leather, tweed, and suede in the hottest part of the summer? Whereas up here in the Pac NW, I see teens wearing miniskirts, barely-there camisoles, and VERY loosely knit hats in January. As a teen I was a horrific dresser, but at least I dressed for the weather. What’s going on here? Youth in Southern Cali are wearing leather, tweed, and suede in the hottest part of the summer?

Mind you, we were all goths at that time. And she said "Oh my god, Texas goths are insane, they wear head-to-toe velvet and capes... and they go out during the day like that! Any self-respecting goth knows you only go out at night." Though, I must admit as a Californian, I was completely unprepared for how much of my normal summer wardrobe got cut out when I moved, due to the humidity.

Back-to-school sweaters especially. It goes hand-in-hand with Thanksgiving and Christmas outfits that were also too hot and were shed in favor of shorts for a walk on the beach.

And second, I recall those very same inappropriate clothing choices on my own--in grad school in Florida, I tried wearing my leather pants in November and nearly passed out. It might be leather pants-weather in Georgia in Nov, but not in Florida. Lesson learned--just because you dress that way elsewhere, or you see it in a catalog, that's not carte blanche to dress llike a goober everywhere else.

Hand in hand with that realization is the fact that playing dress up is fine for adolescents and the adolescent-at-heart, but not for me. The older I get, the less I care what people think about me.
