    i'm at oxford university where we have to wear academic dress (gown, mortar board etc) for exams and things quite often. everyone looks really smart, but my best friend said i was the only person in the university who managed to look like a tramp even in this outfit [​IMG]

    it's not a great picture (i was drunk) but you get the idea...

    Lol I go to cathalic high school where you have to wear a uniform...
    For most of the last months of the year. I had crazy hair, where at the stage where you hair starts to knot up but there is still loose hairs around. Id rarely tie it back, so some parts would be sticking out or standing up. Ah, also the last few mouths i got really lazy about my apperance, half the time i wouldnt iron my dress shirt, so i would have wrinkled shirt. Also i didnt tuck in my dress shirt so, most of the time i looked like someone who just came out of bed (which most the time i would be running out the door in the morning trying not to be late :p)... Peoples thought i was a bum lol or a hippie which was i most of time laughted...
    LOL also when i went to pic up my report card at school... I just slapped on a shirt and some shorts on, then walk to school. When i got to school, i walked up the teacher (a religion teacher) who had my report card. For an honest 3 mins he was laughting his head off. Then asked me if i had a comb. . .

    I just wear my hair up. No problems at work (yet).

    I don't think you looked bad (like a tramp). Maybe your friend was jealous.

    peace and love
