Savers

Last week, my professor assigned us to buy any unusual items that we normally do not wear. On Saturday, I went to Savers to purchase an odd thing. At first glance, my attention to wigs was called, but they did not fit my head. Therefore, I decided not to buy them. Instead, I bought a white ribbon made by a wig. When I sported it, I looked cool and felt comfortable in the new hair, wearing what I want and not to be forced by complying with etiquette. That also made me look funny and different because I changed a little bit of my physical appearance, portraying a new image. The wig transformed me, revealing my individuality and characteristics. This really made me stand out among other people. On Monday, I wore it outside of my classes and some people did not notice me because they walked pass me. They did not see that half of my hair was black and the other was white. Some others stared and scrutinized me from my head to my toes. I was not certain about their perceptions, negative or positive, but definitely my new hairdo seemed to draw attention. Maybe they thought that I was out-of-style, old-fashioned, or too conservative.
