Counterfactual Identity

In these two pictures I am showing what I usually wear which is baggy clothes that make me comfortable and confident and then my job uniform. I asked my cousins about their impression of me from how I normally dress and then seeing me in my uniform. They noticed that I actually looked like different persons. They said the way I usually dressed made me look nicer and more unique but the uniform made me look neutral and kind of “invisible” in other words, it muted my personality. As I was about to start my shift I decided too ask the customers what they thought of me. Sunday shifts are always slow and customers are very nice to us so a few people did engage and answer my questions, but I didn’t mention to them that it was part of an assignment I just mixed in the questions through a normal conversation. Most people thought I was a lot older and guessed my major was something involving teaching… my major is International Studies. They thought I was a “Ruby” or “Stephanie” and Stephanie is actually my middle name coincidentally 😂. Although the results were not very accurate I actually get wild results from different people all the time. I think everyone views things differently and I’m open to hearing what everyone thinks, it’s quite interesting. I definitely enjoyed hearing what strangers thought about me, it always gives me much to think about but I always take their words with a grain of salt because these assumptions don’t define me. I am definitely more then my sensible beauty.
