I'm a person that would rather be overdressed when going somewhere (well, maybe not a sporting event). Over the years I have heard comments like: "Your 'casual' is more dressy than our 'dressy!', "Why are you so dressed up?" "You did your laundry in that?!" "You are always so put together" etc. Now, I really didn't think I was all the "dressy" but I guess that shows how differently perceptions can be. Knowing that Brazilians are claimed to be one of the most fashion oriented folks, I figured my current wardrobe would work well. I'm not sure it was overconfidence or unrealistic expectations but I've learned rather quickly this fact: Even in my "dressy" outfits I am grossly underdressed while at the same time being overdressed. I guess I can view this as some sort of accomplishment, after all, how many people or both at the same time for it usually is one or the other. To help illustrate, look at the pictures and judge see for yourself that I am indeed both. Let me just highlight the fact that I saw similar ensembles of, and especially, of the first outfit at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Needless to say when I go out, I get the look over--no doubt because of my overdressed and underdressed attire.
Macacos me modam!
