I think my style has changed serval times during my life. When I was a little boy in China, I always wore some clothes that like sports style. My favorite brands were adidas, nike, and etc. Because I used to play basketball everyday, so I thought I should be ready every second to go to the playground to play basketball. Furthermore, I loved to discuss the basketball shoes when I was in middle school, since I watched every NBA games. We talked about NBA stars everyday. My favorite one was Tracy McGrady. My friends and I thought if we wore a pair of shoes that our idols wore, we could be one of them. Therefore, we played basketball; we talked about basketball; we wore like basketball players. In that time, basketball was our whole lives.

Then, I grew up to a high school students. Normally, in order to obey the school’s rules, we had to wear the uniforms that made by campus, because high school teachers think that uniforms could make students act uniformly. We were not allowed to wear our own clothes during the school time. However, some of us still wore their own clothes everyday, even I was a part of them. The reason I did  that is that I just wanted to be different to each other. I guess other students who didn’t wear uniforms had the same reason for that.

Nowadays, I am a university students. I could wear whatever I want everyday. At first, I always want to be like a model, since I thought that would be cool. Sometimes, one’s dressing could express his/her attitude of life. For example, some always wear colorful clothes everyday; I think that means they want to be noticed. On the other hand, some would like to wear the clothes that are only black or white color. In my opinion, they don’t want to be noticed, and they don’t talk much to the people they don’t know. However, now I think dressing means nothing, since In America, people’s dressing always depends on what they do. For instance, people wear sports t-shirt when they go to the gym; people wear suit when they go to work. Although this is obviously for some people, however, I just deeply understand this reason. Now, I don’t judge a person by what they wear; I care more about the behaviors. Therefore, personally speaking, behaviors could express a person more correctly than one’ dressing.

Individual 1:

Describe what you see:

The first person I watched was a Chinese student. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of red shorts. Moreover, he had many jewelry on his body. He got a gold necklace, a black bracelet, and three earrings on one ear. Furthermore, he also got an attractive sunglasses on his face, which is a two small circle glasses. Nonetheless, he has at least two tattoos on his body. One is on his left arm, which is three ices with a ball of fire around them. I guess it means he needs water or something. The other one is on his right arm, which is just some words; it says, find and seek.

Values/ beliefs demonstrated by how he dresses and body adornment:

believes that he does not care about the clothes on him, what he cares is the small little stuffs, like earrings and necklace.

Assumptions I Made:

He is clearly a fan of Chrome Hearts due to the jewelry on him. And since what he was wearing is not luxurious. I guess he uses the majority of his money on jewelry. Because of his tattoos, I guess he has his own special beliefs. And part of the sunglasses means that he does not want somebody to talk to him.

What my assumptions say about me:

I like the people who have their own styles, and own beliefs. Then when I talk to them, I could get more information that I have never heard before.

Individual 2:

Describe what you see:

The second person I watched was a girl. She was smoking outside of the campus when I saw her. She was wearing a red shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of boots. She has a beautiful long blond hair. Moreover, the way she smoked, is like she is in her own world; and she does not need anybody be with her. After she smoked, she put the cigarette in the trash can.

Values/ beliefs demonstrated by how he dresses and body adornment:

think that she does not think appearance is a big part of her life due to the way she dresses.

Assumptions I Made:

I guess she needs some friends, although from the appearance of her, she acts like she does not need anybody around her, however, since the way she dresses was normally and made people feel comfortable, she wants to make friends with others.

What my assumptions say about me:

Sometimes, I do the same thing, which is when I want to meet some new guys, I always act like I do not care about them, however, deep inside of my heart, I really want to make friends with them.

Individual 3;

Describe what you see:

She was standing in front of the duck store with her friend. She was wearing a pair of New Balance, a basic t-shirt, and a pair of leggings. Under a blue hat, there are two most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen. While I was standing in front of duck store. She just kept talking with her friend, and she kept laughing all the time.

Values/ beliefs demonstrated by how she dresses and body adornment:

Believe she was so happy about the wonderful weather today, and she does not care about others opinions. And she always wants to talk about her opinions to her friends.

Assumptions I made:

I guess she was a super outgoing girl. And everybody knows her must like her. Since she always wants to share her happiness. I can assume that she has many friends, because I want to make friend with her now.

What my assumptions say about me:

I am outgoing I think. But I do not think somebody would think the way I thought about her, which is I think everybody likes her. However, sometimes, I act another person when I am in front of people. When I am alone, I will be a totally different kind of person.
