/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I transferred colleges this semester to a small four year this fall. In an effort to make friends and seem more approachable, I stopped wearing anything remotely J-fash for a while. But by the end of the semester, I've realized that doing this made no difference.

I'm wondering if I should start phasing j-fash stuff back into my wardrobe next semester but I'm worried that I'll be completely ostracized because unfortunately my college has a lot of preppy, snooty and extremely judgmental upper-crust kids. I wear very toned down j-fash (larme and otome) but it's still so outside the norm for here. Is it worthwhile to be true to myself and my own style at the risk of being harassed?

It's a complicated feel.
