Let's all hold hands and be posers together!

My sister and I were talking the other day about how people used to dress for the activities they were going to do. Such as, if they were going to travel they would put on their travel clothes, if they were going to ride a horse they would put on their riding clothes.
My sister and I thought it would be interesting if we still did that today, because it seems that a lot people dress like they are going to go do yoga, but actually they are just buying frozen yogurt or going tanning. I mean it is just very confusing these days to know who people really are.
Back then it would probably be easy to find people you have things in common with, because you see them dressed in the attire of what they really are doing! But today you can't tell if somebody is really into sailing a boat or if they just like to walk around the mall in boating shoes.
My sister's boyfriend was walking around downtown Columbia the other day and he said everyone was wearing Northface and Patagonia jackets. I mean it's possible that they all just came from hiking down a mountain, elevation at 10,000 ft. But considering we live in the middle of Missouri, I kind of doubt it. Maybe I'm being harsh, I know those jackets are warm, but those companies are mountaineering companies whose intent was to sale to people who do mountaineering things. Now it has become a fad that everyone from a 4 year old to the cheerleader owns ones...I'd like to hear about their crazy hiking adventures!
Okay, okay, I'll give northface a rest. So I would consider myself a pretty compassionate person, I like to help those in need. But recently I've been a little deceived  I can't seem to tell the difference between a homeless person and a hipster! I see somebody sitting in the park looking homeless, then they pull out their iphone! Wait a second! I'm not going to give my sandwich to you! I'm just kidding, I love hipsters. I think I'm a little confused by them, and what really defines one, cuz we also have this skinny jean, v-neck, flannel shirt, beard, big glasses, with a beenie fad going on. So I'm not sure if those people are hipsters, or if looking homeless/mountain man is a real hipster!
See my dilemma these days, I don't know who people really are! How am I supposed to start a conversation with somebody, "I see you're wearing running shorts, want to go running sometime?...oh you don't run...well, uhh...hey look at that cloud." The only people I know who they are when I see them are hicks...but even those lines are starting to blur, because cowboy boots have hit the fashion market in the last few years too!
Fads, they are just so interesting. I remember when I said I would never wear skinny jeans! Now almost all my jeans are skinny jeans. Truth is I get caught up in fads too, but honestly I really don't own yoga pants, a northface jacket or sparies. I do have one flannel shirt though! Sometimes maybe my style could be hard to read, but generally my clothes define who I am and what I enjoy doing. I'm wearing sweat pants, yes, I'm going to Wal-Mart...okay maybe that's not a good example considering there is a whole web page dedicated to what people wear to W-M!
It's actually funny that clothes can define somebody. Adam and Eve had no idea what shame would evolve into when they covered themselves with leaves! Thanks a lot guys! I guess that's why the saying holds true "don't judge a book by its cover." Because you really don't know who a person is by what they are wearing! I've been really surprised and disappointed so many times hahaha. I say let's just all hold hands and be posers together (I'm not a hippie, I don't own tie-dye!) Haha.
