危険な女

Translation: dangerous woman

She's baaaaaaaaaack. o_O O_o
I missed you, crazy lady. <3 I told my partner before we left the house that people would keep to a certain circumference when they encounter me and he chuckled. The thing is, no one bothered me. Hehe. Not a soul. They just stared, as usual. So, yeah. This outfit was not only man repellant, but people repellent. Success! Haha. Ya'll know I'm harmless, though, right? Riiiight?

At any rate, I did some very simple layering, but clashed prints and carefully chose certain pieces to make the outfit seem more complex than it really is. I started with a cap sleeve high low striped maxi dress. It's pretty fantastic. I've never worn it by itself, though. It's really form fitting and unforgiving. It will show any seam and if you went overboard at brunch and developed a food baby..well, you can just forget it. Heh. The dress shows every curve and bump, so I feel super self-conscious in it. >_<

Hence, the first time I wore it, you could barely even see it. Hehe. The second time I wore it, you could only see the bottom half, so it looked more like a skirt. This time, I tried to show as much of the dress as I was comfortable showing. So, I wrapped a sheer plaid top around the waist and topped everything off with the kick ass denim cape. I liked the resulting mix of patterns and colors. :P

Picture

Plus, everyone's blasting the AC prematurely, so it was nice to have the cape just in case the place we were going to happened to be ass cold. When I remove the cape, you can pretty much see the full dress, but my mid-section and most of my right thigh are covered by the plaid top. This made me feel a little bit better. Heh. The top created the illusion of a plaid skirt from the front. Also, it formed some interesting shapes, folds and angles from all sides--this is my signature, as I'm sure you know. :D

I found that the breeze did wonderful things for the outfit as I walked. The lightweight plaid top would go one way and the long back of the dress would go another. I always love when that happens.  <3

Picture

Of course, I had to wear these intimidating and crazy obnoxious sunglasses. How could I not? :D~
I rarely wear them, but that's because I don't think they would look right with just a t-shirt and jeans.
I have to reserve them for special outfits.
I think they added the right amount of attitude for this look.

Keep calm and carry on. Hehe. Have a great weekend! ^_^

I am in love with how reckless you are about wearing your clothes! It is your reckless yet funky-cool style that has gotten you so far with your blog! So I don't think you have anything to be worried about :)
Anyway, super cute outfit! I don't think it is "people-repelling" at all! I love the maxi on you! You look hot :)

YAY! I missed the crazy lady! ;) LOL.

How cute is this combo of prints? Simple but so effective. The accessories really make it for me, the bag and glasses and boots - oh my! I would call it deliciously scary!

So, I do really this is a dope ass outfit, but I think I like it better without the jacket, especially when you open up the shades. Fireeee.

Random, but do you have a lot of Japanese readers? Is that why you translate the titles? Or is that just for funsies lol?

Oh, the kanji is just for fun. Hehe. :D My first thought when I saw the photos of the outfit was: 'kiken na onna.' So, I just decided to make that the title and use kanji. :P

I loved this maxi dress, I love stripes! I think people look with envy, really. Because they are not so playful and stylish - you know I love your style! I think that having the plaid around the waist was a great idea, since you know this dress shows every curve and you felt conscious of that! At first I thought it was a skirt, like you said it would seem, looking from the front. I also looove that denim cape, it's so beautiful and the glasses I really want them :) So creative and beautiful! You may feel like pushing away men and people, but I think you look fabulous!

I've always wondered what I'm carrying around...now I know it is twin food babies! LOL I also have some strapped to my thighs.

This is one wild ride of an outfit. I especially like the back shot.

Harmless? Heh. People are always afraid of a little fashiony subversiveness. Why? WHY?!! I'm glad you explained the layering here - I would not have figured it out on my own. But the effect is brilliant. The bag is awesome and the eyes go perfectly with your shades. Again, a winner. Food baby? I'll have to remember that term.

Bah! You know what I did, girl. Quit playin'. ;P~ I think the term 'food baby' is hilarious. I love using it to describe my gluttony. I get food babies often. Culinary slut bag. Right here. :F

I was going to ask if you'd ever been to Japan, and then I remembered whose blog I was on. :D This has such a Comme des Garcons vibe and I love it.
