When creating my counter factual identity I wanted to stray away from my usual look. Which I describe as a mellow rockstar, I usually wear tipped jeans with a neutral colored top. I thought of making an outfit that a person with a skateboard would have worn.
The reactions were not much different to my usual interactions with others. Which may have to do with the colors I were because are neutral. I had never asked what people think my name is, but the people I asked said I looked like an Eric, Adrain or Ricardo. Regardless, of what I wear I am usually confused with an art major despite being a business major. Other than that people thought I was an engineering major.
Looking back my two “different” outfits were as different as I thought which is making considering more colors and styles. Though I do recognize that one’s outfit has a lot to do with how view someone. There often times I dress formally and the way I am treated is much better than with my normal clothes.
