Stranger's Reactions to your Clothes?

[lionlimb]

Having my coffee in the park before work, wearing lost and found, Demeulemeester, guidi, and a big pile of cashmere. A man and his wife approached me to kindly but insistently inquire if I was hungry, if I needed help, etc. They thought I was homeless. There's not really a non-awkward way to correct that assumption.

But the fun way could have been to go along with it, playing dumb to their assumption.

"No, I'm not hungry yet. Just starting the day with my coffee. Why, did you have a place in mind? Or were you looking for a recommendation?"

[Resonkuken]

You should´ve played along and got a free breakfast.. and maybe some walking around money

Demeulemeester and an amazing Dries Van Noten scarf (black wool, very wide, long and end of world looking, still regret selling it)....
having lunch with my friends and I didn't eat because I wasn't feeling good (one of those lunches)...waiter comes up and hands me a plate of fries and says the elderly couple that just left bought them for me.
homeless looking i guess. haha.

[DudleyGray]

OK, next fashionable person I see, I'm offering to buy them a sandwich with a look of pity.

[Tafkap]

lol...i'm going to make it a point to find fashionable people around the holidays, and ask with a look of pity if they would like to come over to have a turkey dinner.

while dressed in ccp & rick owens explaining something called homotopy type theory* to someone: "damn, are you sure you didn't pop out of the matrix to explain its source code?"

buying kombucha while wearing an inaisce beanie, cashier lady is looking at my license and giving me a strange look. I thought she was unsure whether it was actually my license (I shaved my beard and look different) but it turns out she just liked my hat and wondering what it was made of. I told her wool, but coated with resin to look like tar. She asked if I made it and I said "no it was made by a designer in new york". Her reply (nodding): "yep that would be from ny".

*the newest foundations of mathematics program, largely developed at the institute for advanced study in princeton (which is where einstein and godel worked). has interesting connections with philosophy, physics, and especially computer science. see the synopsis for this carnegie mellon course on the topic if you're curious: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/courses/hott/ + this stack exchange answer if you're curious about the philosophical connection http://philosophy.stackexchange.com/...ears/9814#9814
