You wouldn't believe the amount of randos who came out of the woodworks to talk to and or gawk at me when I had worn this outfit. o_O O_o It's the bow tie, isn't it? It's aaaaalllllways the bow tie. Hehe.

I just tried to stay calm and be ready to run in case someone tried to stab me. I actually had someone follow me. So....yeah. Crazy creepers, amirite? :F~ Anyway, I guess I'm doing my best school girl impression here. I'm not sure if that's what I was actually going for. I just know that I wanted to wear these plum over-the-knee socks at least once for the season. I hardly wear them as often as I should and I do love how they look when paired with dark blue hues. ^_^ I added some blacks and greys to make the blues stand out and opted for a brown bag instead of black for something unexpected.

I'm actually looking at the camera and smiling. Weeeiiiirrrrd. O_o o_O Hehe. Admittedly, I was in a really good mood when these pictures were taken (and the creepers were at an all time low, which always helps). :DDD My partner's parents came to town a couple of days prior. They drove up in an RV! Crazy pants. So, we'll be entertaining them for the next several days. On this day, we decided to take them out to brunch and then go on a bike ride to the lake to quaff spirits and enjoy the nice weather.

So, I opted for a sort of dressy, but pretty casual outfit. The striped skirt is easy to bike in and the braided sweater is super warm and cozy. I really adore the striped skirt. I just love the multi-directional lines and the uneven hem. There's just something about subtle, deliberate imperfections. <3 The mix of textures and patterns in the outfit are great, too, IMO. The sweater alone has several different patterns at play and I like the juxtaposition of chunky, heavy knits with lightweight, breezy fabrics. ^_^

I honestly felt like this outfit was pretty innocuous, but I still managed to garner a ton of stares everywhere I went. >_< People actually turned their heads on their bikes as I rode by. Haha. You'd think I'd be used to that sort of reaction, but I still struggle with it daily. I really loved wearing this outfit, though! It was super comfortable and appropriate for the day's activities. I hope you like it, too! :P

Prepare to be flooded with photos. >:D Hehe. I've had comments from people who lamented the fact that I include only a few photos in each blog post. I guess the reason why I do that is...well...I like to just get to the point, you know what I mean? Haha. I don't like to waste time with extraneous information. However, every now and then I make an exception (and such exceptions usually occur when I wear a particularly layered or complicated outfit). I did some weirdness with this one. So, let me explain. :P

Sooooo, you know that asymmetrical black cardigan that I love to wrap around myself every chance I can get? Yeah, that one. Well, I decided that I was going to wear it backwards, because why the f*ck not? While I was at it, I figured I'd do the same thing with the black high low top that I love so much.

​
As a result, this created some very interesting visual effects when my outfit is viewed from the back. The asymmetrical cardigan would blow every which way in the wind and this made the whole ensemble look even more dramatic, as I seemed to have wings of sorts when viewing the spectacle from the front.
​
Picture

Pretty f*cking awesome, yeah? :DDD I love wearing free flowing, asymmetrical, textured outfits. <3
​The strips of white at my shoulders and at the back are from a white mini dress that has an attached. sheer asymmetrical overlay. I still can't believe I bargain binned that sh*t for $5 from Urban Outfitters. Best purchase ever. I've found so many creative ways to wear that dress (other than as originally intended--I've never worn it as is and I've had it for years haha). It's all about that sheer overlay! 

​
Picture

All I did was tuck the mini dress part into my high waisted burgundy skirt and then let the attached overlay just do its thing. I used solid colors and brights like the clean white and deep red to help accentuate and clearly define the patterns, angles and different fabric lengths at play.

The light fabrics that I used in the outfit also made it easy to do some "super sick swishy things." Yes, I believe that's the technical term. Allow me to demonstrate. Y'all just keep driving and riding your bikes and whatnot. Nothing to see here. No, really. You can stop staring. I don't have a mental illness.

Picture

You know, I might *actually* have some mental problems. I don't know, really. Heh. I guess you have to be a little crazy to wear an outfit like this. ;) At any rate, I like to think of this look as a practical Halloween-ready outfit. As you know, I don't dress up as other people or monsters for Halloween. It just wasn't a part of my upbringing, really. Instead, I've taken to doing dark ensembles that are fit for the season, but that don't look like a costume. I think I could easily don a crazy face mask and step out in this outfit on Halloween and totally scare some people. >;D The nice thing is that I can just take the mask off and go into a coffee shop or restaurant and manage to disturb only some of the patrons. ;)
