The images above are my dress log entires for February 14 and February 16.

While I was writing my dress logs, I noticed that I wear some of the same pieces a lot, and that I really emphasize comfortability. I found this strange because I associate dressing well with feeling uncomfortable, and I was asking myself if I had been dressing bad all this time. I don’t think I dress bad but to me comfortable is a pair of leggings and a tee shirt. There is something extremely casual about that word that makes me associate it with bad dressing.

The dress log impacted my understanding of the relationship between clothing and body by forcing me to see everything that I’ve worn laid out in front of me and realizing that each piece is there to serve a purpose. For example, on February 16, I wore that knit top because it was comfortable but also presentable enough for me to wear at work. In New York I’m always moving around and walking everywhere, and that has changed the way that I choose my clothing in the morning. When I’m in Los Angeles I don’t have to worry so much about feeling uncomfortable in my outfit because I usually travel by car or on some type of vehicle.

Overall, I’ve noticed that logging my outfits everyday for a week is extremely repetitive. I try to keep my outfits as different as possible every day but I guess that wasn’t going as well as I thought it was. I noticed that I stick to key statement pieces that go with multiple outfits.
