If you live on the edge of fashion; that is, you don’t worry about what everyone else is wearing, you have your own style, and then that’s fine. You probably have a lot of fun.
However, you know that there are times when your extreme fashion tastes simply cannot be flaunted. You may not like it, but that doesn’t change it. So, you look for ways to continue expressing yourself even when faced with dress codes or times when you have to tone it down, at least a little.
Fortunately, there are ways you can do this without feeling as though you’re sacrificing your tastes. Here are a few examples of what you can do.
If you have tattoos, and the dress code of your school or workplace states that these must be covered, or if you have multiple piercings and only earrings or the very smallest, barely noticeable jewelry is allowed, simply come up with some creative ways to adhere to the policies.
For visible tattoos, keep a light wrap handy—something that will sufficiently cover the tattoo but won’t make you uncomfortable in warmer temperatures. Or simply use a large bandage to cover visible tattoos.
Remove piercings if your dress code dictates it. You can wait until the last minute before you walk in the door in the morning to do this, and re-insert them as soon as you are out the door in the afternoon. The holes won’t grow up in that short amount of time, and knowing that you have your jewelry with you ready to be popped back in will make you happy.
