8 Bit Vendetta

There's lots to see and talk about for this one, so grab a beverage and make yourself comfortable! Hehe. Finally, it was warm enough for me to wear a T-shirt and not die! I still wore a thermal top and bottom underneath the outfit, out of habit really. The olive parka kept me nice and toasty, too. It's from Jollychic and I ordered a size large. I probably could have gotten away with a medium. I hope it doesn't look too oversized. It's my first parka and I was nervous about how to style it.
I'm loving it, though!

Picture

I'm a bit layered up, but I didn't do anything too complex. I wore one of my favorite nerdy Threadless tees and tucked it into a thrifted high waisted maxi skirt. The skirt is very thin and light weight, so I had to wear a slip underneath to keep things smooth as well as thick leggings to keep me warm. I have no doubt that it will make a great Summer skirt. Of course, you know I don't care much about seasons when I create outfits. Haha. I wanted to wear the skirt in February, so I did. ;P To make things a little more interesting I knotted the skirt at a very sharp angle. I liked the resulting textured ripples. :D

The overall outfit is kind of grungy and edgy, so I added the cheeky Threadless tee to either amuse or confuse. Haha. Nintendo fans everywhere should immediately understand the print. It's so fun! ^_^

Picture

I haven't worn this mustard ModCloth bag in a really long time. I guess it's because I keep going for my  yellow Cambridge satchel when I feel the need to add a splash of yellow. I'm glad I chose the mustard bag instead, because the Cambridge satchel would have been a little bit too bright. I wanted a mix of muted colors. Plus, I was able to re-discover just how awesome this bag is. It's a great carry-all!

Picture

So, there you have it. Grungy, nerdy, edgy, casual and kinda cool maybe? I dunno. Haha. This is a classic "Anna" outfit, though. I really like this mix of textures and oversized pieces. I hope you like it, too! ^_^ Have a fantastic weekend! I don't know what I'll get up to, yet. Maybe hit up an arcade? :D

This is a total Anna outfit (: Layers upon layers, a threadless tee, a whimsical hat, and a total badass-chic persona!

You always remind me of Morpheus from The Matrix when I see you with these sunglasses.

I love what you've done with the skirt and the tee is hilarious.

Ahahaha yesss, this tee is amazing! Hilarious AND nostalgic :) I love the colour of this skirt, and the way you styled it makes it another interesting visual piece of the outfit. Also, I think I need a similar cardigan!

I LOVE the continuity in the zippers on the leggings and the boots. Subtle, but that is absolutely what makes this outfit work for me. :D

And the parka is totally fine being oversized!

I like the contrast of the colours (mustard - burgundy/purple).
And your parka looks super-cozy, it's not too oversized!

Hope you are well and happy!
Lots of kisses

Wow that looks awesome. I love the edgy grungy colourful thing you have going. How was it walking with the skirt tied like that? It looks like a sort of jersey material so I'm assuming there was a bit of stretch to it.

Oh, hey! <3 Thanks! *^_^* The skirt does have quite a bit of stretch to it, so it moved with me quite easily. The high knot pulled the fabric taught, so it did restrict my movement somewhat and the friction would cause the skirt to ride up a little on occasion, but it wasn't too bad. :D

Ha ha the t-shirt is so funny! I like the way you wear the skirt and well combined with the cardigan. The mustard is good colour to close the set. ;)
A hug!
