what is the formula for "pulling off" a ridiculous, eccentric ensemble? what qualifications must one posses in order to do so? one browses facehunter seeing outfit after outfit that is incomprehensibly ridiculous and creative. one lusts over it, wishes to recreate it, but cannot "pull it off". these photogenic people dressed in obscure labels are somehow superior, though you can't put your finger on it. something about them enables them to wear a feathered headdress while you are stuck in your skinny jeans and sea of american apparel basics.
some say it's a way of carrying yourself, a certain confidence. some label it as "the it factor", and we as a society are meant to accept this ridiculous term and utilize it in conversation about the facehunter crowd. look again. these are average people in above-average clothing. there is no "it factor". there are no labels that can be applied to those who are captured by the lens.
the moral of the story: do not settle for mediocrity. don't repress expression because you can't "pull it off". societal clichés mean absolutely nothing.

Yeah, being able to "pull it off" is definitely something psychological. No one else knows that you can't pull something off, unless you say so or show it on your face.
