moods

The emotional reflection of moods in clothing!
Yeah that's what has been running through my head all freaking day.
I could not think of anything else.
My mind was revelling on how you would tell the mood of a person, by their clothes, without having to know them personally.
Have you ever just been thinking about odd, mixtures of things and then you suddenly remember some distant memory? That Ladies and Gentlemen is how I got onto this predicament. I remember my roughly 12 year-old self, going through a rather embarrassing 'find yourself' 'coming of age' stage where I dressed up as a 'scene kid'. I came by this genre of style through a misunderstanding of certain Gothic romance films and an ancient site no-one uses any-more called bebo. I think the only stage worse than my 'scene kid' stage was my 'awkward chav' period where I admit I wore trackies and a glued-to-your-head neat ponytail practically on my forehead and wore those shitty diamond earrings that are in a square shape. I offer my condolences to my tween self because lord knows I needed it! What fashion mishaps will I dredge up next?!
Back to the plot. A young girl, around 19 or 20 was walking through the high street of my local town (should be more accurately called a village!) (I'm starting to sound like an early-bird pervert), where she was clad in the most outrageous assortment of clothing; Black and red tiny ripped dress, fishnet tights, Goth shoes, I suppose she would be called a Goth but I don't want to apply false labels. I wanted to be her, not because of her scary clothing or her Russell Brand bird nest hair and I suppose I wouldn't go for the anger part of her look but the confidence in which she strutted around in these garments was mesmerising. You could literally see she was angry and she didn't give a shit, and that's what I'm talking about.
I suppose with some people, a little bit of stalking would be in order to actually catch the persons mood but my question is- Is it possible to tell whether a girls boyfriend has just slept with her best friend by looking at her clothes?
The colour ranges for mood clothing have been set out pretty stereotypically, havent they?
If someone wears pink they're in love.
Black for when your feeling murderously angry and/or cynical.
Blue for when your down.
Green for when your feeling reflective (mentally) (or most likely jealouse, who reflects on their thoughts these days? We have the internet for that).

Hours later... I once again forgot to sign off...
After some minorand I admit fairly skill-full stalking I have come to the conclusion that:
you cant.
Maybe if the person is wearing a;

'Get out of the way, I'm already having a laughably unfunny horrific day and now your ruining my shopping experience so move it or my fist might accidently slip across your face'

look and they're wearing black, then maybe they might just be a tad angry and I suggest you obey your instincts and hoof it.
But sometimes I feel a little down, and then I wear bright colours and patterns to lift my spirits, then again sometimes I like to act all 90's with the misunderstood, angst ridden, hormonal teenager appearance (I'm really original like that) and I pretend to be moody and attempt to delete Facebook! ( I just cant do it, it's too much effort!)

Round up of the day:
  • Annoyingly persistent thoughts.
  • Kicked in shin by Demon Child.
  • Skilled Stalking.
  • Embarrassing adolescent moments spread on internet.

Have I no shame?
