My clothes all turned out blue. These days I’m favoring blue and brown as colors. Either on their own or in combination. They’re easier to look at than other colors, for me, and I enjoy what they look like when combined together as well. I like them because they are the only colors that, for the most part, don’t hurt my eyes or overtax my visual processing. I don’t know why it works that way, it just does. I’ve had other “favorite colors” sometimes, but I don’t like to look at those all the time, they strain my eyes and my brain. So back to blue and brown. People think that skirts aren’t practical. Most such people haven’t tried living in bed for days, weeks, months. There’s a reason hospital clothes are gowns. I got this skirt a couple years back in a thrift store, it was loose and elastic enough to fit me, it was amazingly comfortable, I haven’t looked back. The scarf is from a thrift store longer ago, when I was buying a bunch of scarves to use as shawls. And my mom bought the shirt. It grew on me. The top part emphasizes what’s left of my breasts more than I’d like. But it makes up for it by being elastic. That means I can pull it down from the top, to get access to parts during bed baths, without disturbing the pins lower down that hold my feeding tube in place. I guess if I were going to wear socks on such a hot day, I could use the fluffy blue socks my mom got me and be blue all over. I am not doing this for autism awareness. I’ve done better visually with blue and brown since before this blue autism awareness BS was a thing. I hate the whole light it up blue concept and I refuse to let it change my color preferences.
