Reaction to Someone Dressing Differently

Sometimes going to school I see people who dress a little differently from time to time.  One day, a girl who usually just wears jeans and a shirt wore a dress like the one from Alice in Wonderland.  Also, some people come to school with their hair dyed wild colors.  I have seen people dye their hair red, pink, purple, green, and blue.  This at the time seemed like such a radical change since some of those people usually dress normally.  I am not criticizing people who do this, however.  It is each person's choice to do whatever they want to do.  It really does not affect me if someone chooses to wear something different from what he or she would usually wear.  It is a personal choice and if it is the person’s will to do so then I am not about to stand in his or her way or ostracize that person for his or her choice of apparel.  People should be valued not for how they dress but for who they are.  As long as dressing differently does not in some way lead to vanity then I see it as individualism which is a good thing to have to an extent.  While I am not likely to be one of the people who has a sudden style change or dyes my hair different colors, I recognize that this is a freedom of choice.  If people would regard a person differently for how he or she dresses then they are not true friends.  A natural wonder may be in place simply because the occurrence is so extraordinary for the person and perhaps it would be a good idea to make sure that there is no bad reasoning behind the sudden change.  If the person changed because of a depression or some psychological weakness then it would be good to recognize that and to try to help the person.  If it is not from such reasons, however, the person should be left to decide how he or she wants to dress within reason.
