Midnight Flower

9/29/2015

Sexy time, sexy time. Haha. Awwww yeah. Can't go wrong with fishnets and over the knee socks. >:D It's officially Autumn now, or whatever, so I wanted to do some light layering and incorporate a sweater. I also wanted to do an updated grunge, gutter-punk look. Hence, the 80's skater gang thing going on.

Got a light? No. No, I do not. Now, get the f*ck away from me, before I bash you in the head with my skateboard, loser! Yep. Menacing. Hahaha. Sorry. This is the week where I go to my special dark place. It's been awhile, so I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been looking forward to it. <3 Oh and everything I'm wearing is stuff that you've seen already. Remix goodness. :DDD You last saw the black hoodie (one of my absolute favorites) and the over the knee socks here; the paisley fishnet tights over here; the vintage floral sweater and black boots right here; and the silver studded backpack in this post.

So, I guess there's really no such thing as "old" clothing, but just clothing for which you no longer have any use. As long as you can think of a way to put them to use, you can always breathe new life into them. That's why I love thrifting things. Thrift garments are like someone else's treasure, in a way. ;P

I have a more layered and dramatic outfit queued up, so if you're all about cupcakes and rainbows, you might want to avert your eyes, this week. It's going to get ugly and by ugly, I mean awesome. >:D~

Color Me Plaid

I said I would do something crazy, this week, and I delivered. So, yeah. You're welcome and all that. Hehe. ;P~ Actually, I had a total blast wearing this outfit. It's so me. Loud and proud. >:DDD

I bet ya'll thought there was only one way to wear this vintage rainbow plaid tuxedo ruffle shirt dress. Whew that was a mouthful. o_O Well, you were wrong! >:D OK. Granted, it did take some major brain juices on my part, but it was well worth putting my noggin' through the old strainer. Somehow, I managed to clash like you wouldn't f*cking believe, but still produce something pleasing to the eye.

Like most great things, the idea to wear two dresses just came to me. I knew that some dark patterned fabric would be the best compliment for the bright plaid. I didn't have a dark patterned skirt, otherwise I would have tucked the dress into it. I scanned my closet for something---anything---with dark fabric and patterns and the vintage black/white polka dot dress stood out like an oasis in the desert. :DDD

I put the polka dot dress on my mannequin and then I left the plaid shirt dress open and just put it on top and I had a mental freak out moment. I thought, "Eureka! I did it. That's it. I'm done." So simple, yet so god damn amazing. Just look at this sh*t, you guys!? The colors and patterns look really awesome!

Also, I wasn't even thinking about this at all, but I realized when I put the two dresses on that I ended up with four pockets! I put stuff in all of them, as well! Haha. That's why I didn't carry a handbag. :DDD

Adding the kaleidoscope sunglasses was a no brainer, too. All of the colors in the outfit popped without being intensely overwhelming. I think this is the best work I've done all year. Usually, I'm not that stoked about 90% of the outfits I put together. Only a few really make me think, 'Yeah, you did good, kid. You did real good." >_< I'm suuuuper self-deprecating, but not this time. I'm really satisfied with this. <3

Oh and if you're too young to get the pun in the title, here you go. ;]~
