Yeah, I LIKE to sleep in my clothes.... saves on laundry. : )Actually so do my kids. The boys just slip off their jeans and sleep in their t-shirts and boxers. But then, we will never be considered "fashionable."
I think Daniel is young. Rather than saying what he thinks people want to hear, you actually get his opinions! I also think he has observed how Amerians appear in other countries. As a whole, we don't dress as if we are from one of the wealthiest nations on this planet.
Granted, I'd only have that 20% chance with him anyhow, but I'd be out of the running being a jeans and t-shirt girl! I come home covered in glue and paints and paper lint everyday from my young students. I wouldn't be at ease if I had to worry about ruining dress-up clothes. And who wants to wear a pair of stileto boots tot he 7-11??? Still love him though. :)
I think that what he's said is being taken a bit literally here. I agree that it came across a bit snobbish, but when I initially read it, it came across differently to me.
I got the impression that he is chastising America for not looking "put together". I am always comfortable in what I wear, whether I am, literally, going to the gym, or I'm going to work, or going out. My style is relatively simple (a lot of jeans) but I always try to look put together before stepping foot out the door.
I think that he was referring to the way most of our nation does not really think before dressing. I wonder about it daily, and think how I would change certain outfits on people to accentuate their best features. I think it's a matter of people not knowing how to look their best. You don't need to wear high fashion labels 24/7 to look great each day.
That's just what I got out of it...I could be crazy though;)
