2. Overall Reflection of Dress Practice Log:
In my dress practice log, I noticed that an overall theme was that I was really concerned with how my clothing affects my daily movement and function. Everyday I was wearing sneakers, mostly I was wearing my white leather high top Nikes, or on the weekends I was wearing athletic sneakers, so I can stand for long hours working at school and at work, or running and biking around the city. Another theme within this large theme I found of movement and function was comfort. Everything that I was wearing and the reason I was feeling good is because I was comfortable and could be myself. Another theme that I found in my dress practice log and that I had never noticed before about myself is that I wear a lot of the same clothing, like reusing clothes, before they are dirty. I always throw things on my chair (my “chairdrobe”) and I never realized I grab things on there all the time rather than open up my closet everyday. I thought I wear more different things each day, but I really reuse pieces all the time. I grab them on my “chairdrobe” because it is convenient, easy, and I know it’s comfortable and cute because its out and that I’ve worn it recently. The dress practice log has impacted my understanding of the relationship between clothing and the body because I never realized how much I dress for the comfort and ease of my body. I know many dress for what looks best on their body, and I thought that I did that too, but I see now that the number one priority is comfort and movement for my body when dressing, then number two is for looks.
