サイバーパンク (Cyberpunk)

I feel like all I need is a really sharp katana and I'd be all set. Haha. :D We've had this bamboo hat lying around the house forever. I don't even remember when/where we got it. It doesn't even have straps attached. Still, when I got dressed, I just couldn't help the urge to add the hat to the outfit. It made the whole thing just look cooler, somehow. I don't know. Hehe. It gives the outfit a bit of a cyberpunk vibe.

In its current state, the hat isn't very practical. Heh. I'd love to find a way to modify it so I can wear it without the straps since I'm not keen about them anyway. Also, it would be awesome if someone did a drawing of this outfit. I can totally see something like this in a dystopian graphic novel. In that case, the overalls should probably be a lot more form fitting. Hehe. Anyway, I would have liked a full view of the combat boots, but I also had to avoid rolling up my pant legs to an awkward length. I haven't seen this combination before, so I thought it was worth a try. I think the boots make sense with the whole outfit.

This style is pretty simple. I applied everything I learned from my Minimalist Style Challenge and honestly, I can't think of a single thing that should be added to make the outfit better.
The steampunk sunglasses, sheer lace top, studded barrel bag and combat boots do all the work. Each element adds a toughness to the look, though the bamboo hat really elevated it by taking it to a futuristic level that I just think is so cool. Oh and sorry about the poofy bangs. Humidity is my sworn enemy. Haha. >_<

I dunno, bro. I think everything turned out alright. Hope you like it, too! :D

Oh, rad! Glad you liked it man. I got interrupted so many times during the shoot by people walking in front of the camera (really? you need to take this particular short cut through an ALLEY? OK fine) and some dude who pretended to get something out of his parked car that was near me. Haha. So, yeah. If anything, it was worth a closer look for at least some people. Which is good? :D

I think your poofy bangs help make the outfit! I live in the Southeast, so trust me, I know the troubles of humidity. Don't get me started on when it rains!

I've always kind of side-eyed the overalls trend but here you actually do the impossible and make them high fashion. This is a great outfit.

I don't blame you, dude. It's...like...SUPER trendy. I'm don't want to be on board with it just for that reason alone. BUT, it's such a new and fun thing for me because I had never worn overalls until this year! I wore my first pair of shortalls last year and you know, they're suuuuper comfortable. It's like being able to wear pajamas in public. Haha. I'm totally for that, man.

Now, if I can just wear them in a way that gets me above and beyond the trends, then I'll be OK. I haven't always succeeded. I've worn the tried and true striped top underneath a pair of shortalls before and you've seen me wear these overalls in a very simple, innocuous and girly fashion earlier this year. So, I really wanted to try to push myself this second time around and I'm so glad that you see this as "high fashion." I wasn't even going for that. I really wanted to go against the grain and just be really grungy and annoying to the high fashion people. Haha. I'll take the praise wherever I can get it though. :DDD <3

Dude, totally do it! I wanna see! :D It was kind of a humid day (definitely way too humid for heavy overalls in hindsight), so the sheer lace top was perrrrfect! So breathable and light. :P

You know, I've seen only one other person style a bamboo hat. It was on Lookbook and it didn't look....right. Heh. So, yeah it probably is very hard to work into an outfit. There's a fine line between a wearable, street-ready outfit and a costume. I knew I was walking that line with this one, but I truly believe that in a larger city with night falling and the neon lights starting to pop on that this outfit would make total sense. I think it looks great with and without the hat. Fast forward a few hundred years, change the scene to Toyko and it's even better. Hehe. :D

I love all the combinations of textures! The lace and the denim work so well together! :D

The bamboo hat is both amazing and perfect. I'm a little sad we got rid of ours earlier this year (when we shifted flats, we had a pretty epic clear out!).

You are speaking my language here! I am a complete nerd, though not a lot of people seem to see that because I guess I casually blend in a lot of situations I am in and people I am with. I absolutely love sci fi (generally the dystopian kind), because though I am a techno geek (IT major since childhood, basically!), I am a luddite in the way I view the pitfalls of technology and society together.

It's awesome how you put this outfit together, too. It kind of reminds me of when I combined Star Wars-Rainbow Brite-geisha into one outfit. It's there somewhere in my blog! Hah. My environment somehow has made me kind of lame and less creative with my clothes lately. I work part time at the gym, and I have to be exposed to and teach to awful music... it's affecting my game, man! Haha.

If I could draw well, I'd totally incorporate this into a cyberpunk comic! :)

Oh and the hat just makes me think of Raiden, but I know it's common among my neck of the woods!
