Nintendo Flower Power

I could have called this post "Atari Flower Power," but I never had an Atari as a kid. Bah! I suck. Heh. The first console I ever had was a Sega Master System.  After that, I got a Nintendo and then a Sega Genesis. So, the Nintendo was the first console on which I played Pac-Man. :P Though, I also had a pretty good Pac-Man for DOS made of ASCII. If you're not a gamer, then just ignore this. Hehe.

Here's what my first Pac-Man experience looked like before I played it on Nintendo.
 
This image (stoked to even find it!) takes me back. I had many great games for DOS. Good times! <3

Anyway, I felt in a gaming mood, so I created an outfit around my thrifted Pac-Man tee. I really like how this turned out. I was going to wear studded loafers, but my partner said those were too serious for the outfit. So, I went with the black and white Converse sneakers, instead. The floral and gaming patterns seemed like a natural pairing. You'll find many overlaps in their color schemes, so I considered this a rather aesthetically pleasing combination. Aside from the Pac-Man shirt, I'm wearing three new items.

The first new item is my Fleet Collection silver chain linked bracelet. The polished silver really draws your eyes and the design is simple, but elegant. I need those two qualities with my jewelry. I really don't like to make a fuss with a bunch of danglybobs. The whole arm candy thing just isn't my bag.

Next, we've got my new sheer tights. From a distance, the patterns look like dots, but they are really just tiny little squares connected in a delicately weaved netting. I think they expertly garnished the outfit.

Last, I'm wearing a blue/black contrast top with pleather elbow patches. It's more of a purple hue and I was looking for something cobalt, but it still works with the color scheme of this outfit. I think the elbow patches are a nice, subtle touch given that they're the same color as the sleeves. Though, I think it would have been a little more fun if the elbow patches were a different color, such as coral. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post! Have a wonderful weekend! :D <3

Translation: Too cold for comfort..

It was really chilly, last week! O_o o_O Summer needs to hurry the hell up and get here, already! I actually had the heater on in the house. *Sigh* Anyway, I had business to attend to, so that's why I'm looking all snazzy. ;) I was determined to avoid public transportation, so I needed something that was classy, but that would also allow me to ride my bike in relative comfort. I decided this outfit would do.

My partner was kind enough to snap these photos of me later in the evening after I got home. :P I love this red/white polka dot bow tie! It's so fun to play with. I feel so comfortable wearing ties. This is just additional proof that I should have been born a man. Haha! I'm pretty sure I could hack it. ;D

I wore an amazing gold buttoned trench coat, so the biting winds did not stand a chance. Screw you, wind! :D I got it on final sale over a year ago, but this is only my second time wearing it.


Also, I must mention that the white/black polka dot "blouse" is actually a dress! I do this kind of thing a lot. I have my reasons, though! Click here to see a different style with the same dress. It's so big on me that it looks like a hospital gown. I miscalculated when I bought it in a size large. Hehe. So, there's no other way for me to wear it, right now. I hope to replace it with a polka dot blouse and skirt, soon.

The beautiful cobalt blue elbow patch sweater is from Oasap. I wrote a detailed review about my shopping experience with them here if you're interested. I'm so happy with the quality of the items I have received from them. I also bought the cream version of this sweater and it is just as wonderful. The elbow patches are very well done and both sweaters were on sale for just under $40 each.

​Honestly, I felt kind of stupid wearing such nice clothes while riding my big purple mountain bike with its big grippy tires. Haha. I need a really nice cruiser bike. I'd love to get a Schwinn Deluxe Breeze with some sweet chrome fenders and a headlight. That would have looked way more appropriate. :D~

Oh well. One day, baby! One day. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! <3

宜しくお願します!
