Wednesday Outfit: Lady Looks Like a Dude

Okay, this is not at all typical, and perhaps not worth including.  But as a faithful documentarian, I must note that today, I dressed in drag.  Now, I haven't dressed in drag since college, and even that was only ever for Drag Ball.  I'll be honest, I've always found that crossdressing for girls is just not as much fun as it is for guys.  However, the sheer shock factor for this one made the effort worth it.

I had to pay some sort of tribute to Oberlin in this getup, so CS department t-shirt it was.  It was the shirt from my freshman year- the back says "Think one person can make a difference engine?"  I was going to wear the Tree Hugger shirt that I designed, but I was wearing a racing swimsuit underneath to flatten myself out, and it showed a little under the cream color.  So, darker shirt it was.  The shorts weren't ideal, especially since it wasn't actually that warm out today, but it was more masculine than my girly pants.  I've made an effort to see to it that all my pants are well fit and hug my curves flatteringly.  I did not want my curves showing, so scrubby cargo shorts it was.

This is not at all typical of what I wear, but it was a lot of fun to see all the looks of shock on my coworkers' faces.  Tomorrow I will probably be extra girly to make up for it.
