If you're having a hard time figuring out who this woman is, it's OK. You're supposed to be confuzzled.
I could be the leader of an underground vintage candy smuggling ring or a nerdy dope who likes to play dress up and occasionally scare people. :3 Why do I have these flowers in my hand? Is it because I want people to think that I have a softer side or am I just a really bad person who laced them with slow acting poison? Take a whiff, unsuspecting fools, and watch where you step! I dunno. I dunno. o_O

Picture

While you take some time to figure that all out, I'll talk about some stuff that I *do* know. :D This vintage plaid shirt dress is the sh*t, ya'll. I'm super stoked to have it and I have my sponsor, Fiery Finish Vintage, to thank! Chrissi always has the coolest stuff in her shop. Even though it was truly love at first sight when I saw this dress, I nevertheless had some difficult choices to make. For example, she has these beautiful turquoise palazzo pants that gave me pause. I love them so muuuuuuch. Ack. T_T

Oh and this denim skirt. It's so goooooood, but it's not my size! God dammit. >_< I've bought things from Chrissi in the past and I have as of yet to be disappointed. I've been trying to save money lately, but I dunno. I might have to dig deep and splurge. My birthday is coming up, actually. Hehe. ;DDD


Picture

The tuxedo ruffles give the dress a masculine formality that I'm always inevitably drawn to. The oversized pockets are obnoxiously awesome, too. I used the other pocket to hold my phone and wallet, so there was no need to carry a bag. In fact, I could've pilfered a couple cupcakes and dropped them into the same pocket with room to spare. Mmmhm. Am I a dirty cupcake pilferer? I dunno. I dunno. o_O

Anyway, to maximize the confusion as to whether I've sworn allegiance to my masculine or feminine side, I carried sweet looking flowers in one pocket, but also wore crazy sunglasses and edgy boots. ;D


Picture

OK. You've had enough time to think. So, what's it going to be? Am I a scary bitch or a soft, squishy pushover? Trick question, bros!
You'd be right, either way. Hahaha. Have a kick ass weekend. ;P

Ha ha! This is confusing!

That shirt dress is wild though. The colours, the details, with the boots. Very nice.

I loved the text and I don't know whether you are soft or hard, but I know you are amazing and brilliant! I loved this dress and the ruffles - at first I didn't think they gave a masculine touch, but I guess you are right and they make the dress a bit like a tuxedo-shirt. I loved the colors and the dress in general - I like plaid very much! I liked the flowers, too :) And the boots and the glasses - they are really nice, edgy! Hope you have a very very incredible weekend, looking forward for more outfits next week!

Yeah, it's got total clown vibes. Haha. It's so harsh on the eyes. I just love it. I think the bright colors, pattern and ruffles make the dress super intimidating. I wanted to see if I could bring some of my personality to the garment and make it my own. I look forward to styling it, again! :D

Hahaha! My take on this is you were a pretty lady, minding her own business and gardening the yard, when a sudden zombie infestation roke loose and you went into full kill and survival mode adding survival necessities like bad ass boots and glasses :D I've watched too many zombie movies....
Really love this dress, the oversize pockets are my fave! Kudos to Fiery Finish Vintage! ^_^

Oh man. I love this narrative! I should have called this 'Zombie Killer.' It would have totally worked. Hahaha. You have an awesome imagination! :D

This is so cute! And badass too :0 <3
We were just watching Powerpuff girls' first season so this look reminds me of Rainbow the Clown/Mr. Mime... Hehe <3

Love the ruffle detail. I'm always excited when I see you wearing sunglasses. They suit you so well! Big fan :D

Lol at your explanation of this look, I am definitely confuzzled. The colour palette is amazing though and I adore those boots.

I love this look, every bit of masculine and feminine hints of it! I have a plaid vintage dress too and it's one of my faves. Great touch with eh black necklace too; I never would have thought to add black to such bright colors. Love! PS- I loved the title of this post haha! XO
