My wardrobe is so damn simple. When it's warm (April-December) I only wear 2 pieces of clothing... a t-shirt and board shorts... well 3 if you count my cap. When it's colder out, I wear either fleece or pajama pants, a t-shirt, and a long sleeve or sweatshirt and boxer shorts. I never wear jackets. I also always wear one of those rubber bracelets, a watch, and either a bead or shell necklace. I never wear shoes, so that's one less thing to worry about...lol
My glasses too (i cant see too well without them) My converse snickers which i had for so long and my headphones sticking from underneath my shirt.
i'm generally in skirts/dresses, sandals and my amber ring, tigers eye ring, celtic knot ring and seraphinite pendant at the moment i have to always wear this; broken ankle = no fun, but having a friend who is an amazing artist make it look so beautiful has definately made it more bearable!
My hemp bracelets, and my peace necklace. I also have this one bracelet in rastafarian colours on my left wrist from a wild night.
Very cool cast. It looks like there is a flip-flop in the picture. Why even bother wearing one flip-flop. Seems like the perfect excuse to just go barefoot
not my flip flop! i was barefoot that day.... didn't work so well for me yesterday - 43 degrees celcius here and i burnt the shit out of my good foot walking down the street!
Sounds like you need to toughen your feet up...hippie. Just picking on you. Anyway what does 43C convert to? I had to scratch my head for a minute when you talked about burning your feet. I forget that you are having summer while we are in winter. Yesterday it was only 1 degree F. You are burning your bare feet and mine are about to freeze off...lol
43C converts to around 110F pretty hot! i think the concrete would've been at least 50C - thought i'd get blisters on the bottom of my foot for sure, but it's all good today
Since I don't wear shoes either, I have to agree that over 100F is hot. It may only get that hot for a week or two during the summer here. If it gets that hot I either try to stay off the paved areas or I will walk across them as quickly as possible, making sure there are shady spots nearby. After not even having shoes for 2 years my feet have toughened up so much that it really takes alot to burn them. How do the Aboriginal people in your country deal with the heat? From what I understand, very few of them ever wear shoes.
it would depend on where they're living - parts of australia (ie. the simpson desert in south australia) get to 60C almost year round in the middle of the day - the only thing that lives in those parts though are red kangaroos who have to hide in the few small bits of shade and lick their wrists to cool their blood down to stay alive - they do this for most of the afternoon. anywhere populated by people is generally a bit milder. basically once you've found shade in the middle of the day if you're out in the bush/desert you'd pretty much just use that time to rest and utilise the morning and late afternoon when it's cooler to get things done. unfortunately many indigenous people in australia are being forced from their ancestral homelands into what the government call 'main centres' - basically ghetto ramshackle housing estates with minimal infrastructure and not enough of much to go around - whereas these people are perfectly capable of living off the land in a sustainable way in places where white settlers have often deemed the conditions too harsh. i'll know more about indigenous culture in australia by the end of the year - the second half of this year i plan to travel around the north and western parts of australia of which i've only seen a little and one thing i'll definately be doing is spending time with the elders and learning as much as i can about the cultures of different people from different areas of the country. anyway, that's well off topic - to answer your original question - most koori people i've met have worn shoes, even the ones still living out bush
I used to have a friend in Australia back in the MySpace days. He was older so I don't know if times have changed, but he showed me some pics from his school reunion website and you can see that some of the Aboriginal kids go to school barefoot: I also saw a tv show on the Travel Channel about Australia. They were showing some national park in Australia and I found it unique that the Aboriginal lady who worked there as a tour guide was dressed in a park ranger uniform dress and hat but was barefoot.
that photo is definately from new zealand! maoris and australian aboriginals look very different, and those kids are definately maori tour guide wearing no shows = pretty cool though
Yeah, I though it was cool because she obviously had to come to work wearing an official park ranger uniform, but they allowed her to work with bare feet...lol
I try to wear as little as possible (depending on the situation), and nothing ever stays on me all the time. except my skin lol
I have 4 rings I always wear, 2 were hand made by my good friend 5 necklaces, 1 I made from hemp 1 from nepal 1 from mexico 1 from france 1 from china and my ankle bracelet I made from hemp.
I always wear a bra. Sunglasses, deodorant, and moisturizer... Everything else get's switched up daily.
An opal and amethyst "here, this will shut you up 'til I can afford the real one" ring. Umm.. my tattoos and piercings.. I have a few hats that I'm really attached to but don't ALWAYS wear..
I have this ring, it's really only two hairbands tied together into one, but I never go without it. Even sleeping and in the shower. And... I always have rubber bands and hairties on my wrist. They just come in handy. Other than that, nothing terribly permanent.
