To wear or not to wear, that is the question

So... I've returned to my mother country, planning on staying temporarily, that is, on paper, but in my mind wanting to stay long-term should the opportunity arise.

in ATL a bunch of Asian girls like to wear leggings with shorts in winter as well. I'm glad for them that the temperature has been rising lately. =)

I was having a conversation with a friend last week about what to wear and how much self worth you put into your appearance. I didn't really care about what I wore before, as my dad bought most of my clothes and he thought functionality was a lot more important than aesthetics. However recently I have been paying a bit more attention to what I wear, not because of me putting value into my physical appearance, but because of my respect for the people that I meet daily and the occasion that I am at. It tells a lot about what you wear, and I fully support people to wear what they like and do not conform to the trend/uniformity/whatever is in fashion. God has made us all different, then why should one always copy others' appearances?

PS: didn't know you went back to Korea. How long will you be there?

hey Chan^^

when i was in high school, i heard Korean fashions arrive in America two years later. i guess these days it's much quicker than that. it's warmed up much here as well, but i still see unmelted snow here and there.

respect and consideration for others are good; maybe that's why i've been wearing mostly formal outfits here in seoul.

i'll be here till June 21st. only God knows where i'll be after then. ^^
