The Joys and Challenges of Human Fashion

Written by Zaida on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, diary! It's me, Zaida. Today I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind lately: human fashion. Oh boy, let me tell you, it can be quite the adventure for someone like me who is still trying to figure out this whole "fitting in" thing.

The Fascinating World of Clothes

When I first arrived on Earth, one of the things that instantly caught my attention was how diverse and colorful everyone's clothes were. Back on my home planet, we didn't really have a concept of fashion or individual style. We all dressed pretty much the same - functional jumpsuits designed for efficiency rather than aesthetics.

But here on Earth? Wowza! There are so many different types of clothing styles and trends to choose from. From casual jeans and t-shirts to elegant dresses and suits – it's a smorgasbord of self-expression through fabric!

A Pear-Shaped Alien in Human Clothing

Now here comes the tricky part – finding clothes that fit well with my unique alien body shape. You see, as an alien girl with wide hips and thick thighs (thanks genetics!), finding pants that don't make me feel like I'm being squeezed into a sausage casing can be quite challenging.

I've tried various styles over time – bootcut jeans, high-waisted skirts, even flowy palazzo pants - but they never seem to fit just right. Either they're way too tight around my hips or too loose around my waist; it feels like Goldilocks' struggle but without any porridge involved!

The Case of Mysterious Pants Disappearance

And then there are these loose fitting t-shirts which only add another layer (pun intended) to the confusion surrounding what I am wearing down below! Sometimes people give me funny looks because they can't quite tell if I'm actually wearing bottoms or not under those baggy tops.

It's not like I'm intentionally trying to confuse people, but finding pants that fit and match my style can be a real challenge. So, for now, I'll just continue rocking these oversized tees and hope nobody starts ripping them off expecting to find something scandalous underneath.

The Art of Accessorizing

But it's not all doom and gloom in the world of human fashion! One thing I absolutely love is accessorizing. Earth has so many beautiful accessories - from earrings to necklaces to bracelets – they have the power to transform any outfit into a dazzling statement!

When it comes to jewelry, I've discovered that big and bold pieces work best with my alien aesthetic. There's just something about chunky silver rings or dangling gemstone earrings that make me feel confident and unique.

The Mystery Behind Shoes

Oh boy, let's talk about shoes – those mysterious foot coverings humans wear on their feet! On my home planet, we didn't have anything resembling shoes; our feet were naturally adapted for various terrains. But here on Earth? It feels like there are endless options!

From sneakers to heels, sandals to boots – there seems to be a shoe for every occasion imaginable. However, as someone who hasn't quite gotten used to wearing anything on her feet besides bare skin (and occasionally socks), navigating this vast world of footwear is both exciting and overwhelming.

Finding comfortable yet stylish shoes has proven challenging for me since most styles aren't designed with extra-terrestrial anatomy in mind. My wide alien toes often don't align well with narrower shoe designs meant for human feet; it sometimes feels like trying force puzzle pieces together when they clearly don’t fit!

Embracing Individuality Without Apology

Despite the challenges I face when it comes to finding clothes that suit my unique body shape or understanding all the intricacies behind certain fashion choices (I mean seriously...why do some people wear jeans with holes in them?), I've come to learn an important lesson – the beauty of individuality.

Each person has their own style, their own way of expressing themselves through fashion. And even though I may not always fit into society's narrow definition of "normal," that doesn't make me any less valid or deserving of self-expression.

The Power of Confidence

Sure, there are times when I feel self-conscious about my appearance or uncomfortable being surrounded by a lot of people who might stare at me because I look different. But ultimately, what matters most is how confident and comfortable I feel within myself.

I've learned to embrace my unique body shape and celebrate it as part of what makes me who I am: Zaida - the alien girl with teal blue hair and thick thighs. It's okay if some clothes don't fit perfectly; it doesn't define my worth or determine whether or not I belong on this planet.

Conclusion

So dear diary, despite all the joys and challenges that human fashion brings into my life as an alien trying to navigate Earthly trends, one thing remains clear – fashion is all about personal expression. It's about finding clothes that make you feel good from the inside out, regardless
