Knots & Spools (Barely There Challenge!) - Part 2/9

6/5/2014

This is an outfit I wore last Friday, actually. My partner and I walked a few blocks to one of our favorite hangouts for drinks and good conversation. :D
I decided to throw on a shirt over a dress and try like hell to make it look interesting. I hope I did OK! I wanted to wear a collared shirt underneath and/or my faux leather jacket or something, but then I would have utterly failed the Style Challenge. Haha. *Sigh* >_<
There really isn't much to report. I wore my thrifted tee over a sleeveless heather grey tank dress knotted at an extremely high angle. I just felt like being a little obnoxious since I had so little to work with. Hehe. I tucked in the sleeves of my shirt to add a little more masculinity to the look and I did my hair in a bit of a faux hawk. Unfortunately, it was so incredibly humid that my hair got a bit poofy. Hehe.
I still think it looks decent. Plus, I'm happy that I took the time to do a different hair style. I'm lazy.

The print on the shirt was faded when I got it. I kind of like that it was well worn by the previous owner. It's an awesome shirt and, given the print, I think the faded ink adds to its overall vintage vibe.
The knots in my outfit are obvious, but if you were wondering where the spools reference came from in the title, you need not look any further than the cassette tapes. I've done my fair share of spool winding. ;D
That's it, brah! This style is somewhere in between sweet and tough, masculine and feminine. I'm very comfortable with my bouts of androgyny, but I can understand if this look draws divergent reactions.

I think I just double knotted it. I'd have to do it again and see. I'm terrible at tying bows/knots. If this one turned out nicely, it's a fluke. I promise. Haha. <3

The HAIR! That style suits you so damn well. Like a punkier Janelle Monae. As for the outfit, I think androgyny is really becoming on you. You look adorable in your femme ensembles, but the more androgynous ones look more like *you*, if that makes sense.

Rad! Thanks, man. Yeah, I agree. :D It does feel good, I gotta admit. There is definitely a masculine part of me that I just can't suppress.
