hehe. i dont really care what i wear at uni anymore. my hair is usually tied up in a single pony and i love wearing sweat shirts :D what i dont understand how do they get time to actually get dressed up so early in the morning and then walk all around the uni in those heels!
as long as u r comfy, who cares what others think.
i cant even do that for work :) let alone uni... i miss uni.. wearing my cargos and sweat tops, i miss those days but then again, australia is known for its slobbiness and laidbackness
I’ve always found Kakis in Khakis to be hotties. And a rough shirt…my oh my. :rotato:

*Fraudz, I did mention the difference between dressing neatly and looking decent. If your dressing in a mini with high heels during the middle of winter, just to come to class, you tell me the motivations? *
could we thus also say that if you wear a burlap sack type of shirt with some ragged chinos that you have some other motivations? The point is simple, you can "assume" people's motivations, those are your assumptions guided by your own views, experiences, biases, and observations, they are not universal facts.
people's views about what is considered neat and looking decent are different, as is everyone's style. Life is not a Gap ad, not a page from GQ and not a candid pic at the homeless shelter.
*A guy wearing khakis and a shirt..sure thats reasonable but coming in your best Armani three piece with your cologne entering the room before you do, definately means something is up. *
No it does not definitely mean anything. First of all anyone whose cologne enters the room before they do have no style anyways. But heck if you want to wear your Armani because you feel like it, its your perogative. I mean clothing needs to be situation appropriate, but whether it is overdone or underdone, it could be a matter of lack of sartorial sense than any hidden motivations.
One can say that in college ppl who dress like bums are trying to get attention by trying to look cool and anti establishment a la those grunge losers..why is it only the well dressed folks who get this label of looking for attention.
Oh btw, I have seen guys (of the Middle Eastern my dads a Shiek variety) pull that stuff, but even they admit, it's to impress the ladies.
sadly they only manage to disgust them. A badoo in zegna is still a badoo.
*In college, most of us are try to be practical..doesn't matter the tastes, or economic class..Now if your going out of the way, it's eitherto get noticed or hook up. Thats the real deal. *
dude but what is practical for you is not the same thing which is practical for someone else right? u can feel comfortable in jeans and T, someone else can feel comfy in chinos and button downs, someone else may prefer a sports coat and trousers. Someone paying attention to hwo they dress has as much connection to trying to get noticed, as someone dressing like a bum trying to not get noticed.
i.e...none whatsoever. Could it be true in many cases, sure. But there is no universal truth or direct absolute connection present.
lol, nadia, why do u even care?
just give em the 
and don’t bother thinking..
^ mystical.. im ur biggest fan ;) sorry didnt say bye to u on saturday
lol sadz,, comon..
it's arite, i was outofit neways.. :p
hehe :) i got home so late.. very long story
Please let me apologize to everyone who read this thread who may have been offended by any of my views. i didn’t intend to offend anyone, i am truly sorry if anyone felt offended or hurt. That’s the last thing i wanted to do.
Irem, Suroor, Mystical Miss, and Sadzzz,
Thanks for the replies. MM, you are right - i shouldn’t even bother thinking about it, but it just bugs me… i wish i could just put on a thick skin everytime i leave home.
Suroor, i read your ‘thak thak’ wala thread in Cafe. lol! That was funny.
Sadzzz, Cargos and sweat tops? :k: Very comfy, eh. You can muck about doing anything in that type of gear - hiking, walking, running, anything.
Irem, lolz @ matching red watch. i consider myself lucky if my jeans match my shirt. Wo ho jata hai, tau bahaut bari baat hai. Some days, i do dress up - but my definition of dressing up is vastly different from the majority. Anyhow maybe i’ll send you a pic;)
hey nadia :) most of the people in my course dressed like that, if u were dressed up u were immediately considered a first year student hehe :)
honestly, whats the use of heels if u gonna be stuck in a lecture theatre all day huh? and make up? geez the lights were always so dim, noone is gonna pay attention, i'd rather sleep
Actually it's not only desi girls who give strange looks.
I mean even in my uni, many desi girls dress like they are going to a wedding reception. The gori gals are similar, I mean the amount of time they spend on make -up and fixing their hair is ridiculous.During lectures,I'll be scribbling down notes- while the girl next to me will be fixing her lipstick with her small compact mirror infront of her.
Most girls at uni are very conscious of how people look at them.And its also true that if you're well dressed, it makes an impression on people.I never go out in a t-shirt, however I dont over-dress either.I usually wear clothes that are comfortable, but also that have some sort of style.
I mean I dont know, but I think people do judge you a lot on how you're dressed.However you dont have to have perfect nails or lipstick or outfit.You can just be neat and dressed in what you feel is comfortable.
Personally I dont over dress- but then neither do I wear mismatched clothes. I wear heels sure, and I do care a lot about how I look when I go out.But not to the point where I have to keep looking at a mirror every two mins. As long as I think im dressed in something comfortable, and that looks good on me-I dont let other people's looks get to me.
I’ve never had snooty looks from desi girls (in college etc) , i mean i just smile and they smile back
i dress casual/formal, but i cant do the whole manicured nails, matching handbag/shoes thing, unless its someplace classy im going to 
rough shirts?? i never do the gardening anymore so i dont have any 
the kind of clothes i buy always match with the ones in my wardrobe so i just throw anything on and it looks good 
wese Nadia, leave these girls, the’re probably on their pees or just jealous that you dont need to spend as much time preening in the mirror to look good

haha Me too. Half the time, i can barely stay awake in class.
Muslim Queen, i liked how you expressed yourself in that post. Very confident, Masha’Allah :k: Thanks for your reply. i am glad to read someone thinks and feels the way you do.
Xara, haha maybe that’s it :o i’d like to think so
Irem,

How do you know that a person who looks all dressed up and put together keeps looking in a mirror every two minutes?
Some people have a better sense of style, and always being prim and proper is second nature to them.
