Cool

I found this article very interesting. It really made me think about what I think is cool. I remember thinking some of the things mentioned were cool, like when I was little I thought my older babysitter was the coolest, but now I just think her 90’s styles were funny looking and I probably would never wear them now. The things I think are cool, I wouldn’t say are necessarily trendy. I have my own style made up of all kinds styles new and old, that I find “cool”. Lately my style has been forced, because I work almost everyday and go straight from class to work, my style consists of jeans and a black shirt. I guess if people didn’t know that they would just think I really like black shirts! Since I have to wear them so much I really don’t like wearing plain black shirts now, because they make me think of work. Maybe I’ll start a trend! Someone like DeeDee will see me walking around in my black shirts and who knows everyone will be wearing plain black shirts and jeans! It is very interesting to think about how all the trends started. To just think one person thought a combination of canvas sneakers with a star logo would become such a large trend. Converse is still trendy even today. I have three pairs and find myself wanting more! My reasoning more for comfort and I like the way they look too. I wasn’t always this way, when I was young and still becoming myself, I followed the “cool kids” but that is all a blur now. Cool is merely a word I use to describe something that catches my eye.

  1. It's all about the plain black t-shirt and jeans. That's been my "uniform" (at least, non-academic) for years. Unobtrusive simplicity : )
