Lunatic Fringe

3/18/2014

I created yet another scary, dystopian outfit. Sorry! I just felt the itch and I had to scratch. Haha.
<3 The fact that I feel so comfortable in this garb can be a bit disturbing. Hehe. This apocalyptic style felt like a second skin to me. I guess I have a really dark side. We all do, I think. However, instead of being ashamed of it or pretending that it doesn't exist, I simply choose to embrace it in an artistic fashion.

Anyway, I have to say that I love this first photo. I whipped the fringe around to create a straight jacket effect and it just looks so f*cking cool, man. Haha. I know that I scared some people on this day. I don't know if I caused anyone to like cross to the other side of the sidewalk or something, but if I did that's totally cool. I like having an entire sidewalk to myself. It's like the world is my runway. Hehe. ;D


Picture

As for the construction of my outfit, it's quite simple. I layered the ModCloth fringe cardigan from this post underneath my black poncho from this post. Beneath those bits lies a crazy t-shirt. The cool thing about the poncho is that it's long on the sides and short in the front and back, so it's a lot of fun to layer!
And of course I had a ball just flipping the fringe every which way. Haha. ^_^ Loose pieces provide opportunities for drama through simple movement! You'll see better angles of both pieces below.

So, in this series of photos you're seeing the side and back of the outfit. Hopefully this helps to further illustrate the layering I explained above. You can see the different textures in the fabrics, too. :P

These old world map leggings are totally killer and I really don't wear them as often as I should. I just find it a little difficult to match them up with other pieces in my closet. The print is so fantastic and I'd hate to overshadow that, so I try to be mindful of what I wear with the leggings. Click here to see how I last styled them. You'll notice that I used a similar subdued color scheme to allow the patterns to stand out. I'm thinking about pairing the leggings with dark green and deep blue garments. We'll see! :P

Since this outfit is on the simple side (in my warped head, mind you hehe), I added a little something extra to make it more interesting. This Threadless tee worked beautifully. The bright colors attract attention; the scene depicted is intensely emotional, disturbing and beautiful (fitting with the overall theme of the outfit); and it's just totally unexpected since it's being covered up by two other layers. I love hiding things like this and watching people's reactions when I casually reveal those hidden bits.

By the way, Threadless is having a Spring sale! You can snag tees for just $10, this week!
That's 50% off which is an awesome discount, so totally get all up on that, bros. They've got amazing designs!

I realize that this outfit exudes a "go big or go home" attitude. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's my flavor and I think it tastes great! So, you'll have to excuse me if I go back for seconds. :P

So awesome! I love all of your outfits, and it's so great how you can be feminine or dystopian. And the way you rock a crotch map, well it's like no other!

Hahaha <3 Right on! ^_^ Well, I think it would be strange if the print was blank at my crotch. It would be like the world ends there or something. Haha. That's just how it is with printed leggings. The print has to go everywhere. Plus, I doubt anyone would have been looking THAT closely at that particular region map. Haha ;D

Ok first and last are awesome pics missy, loving it. And you are the freaking Queen of layering.
Love the loose effect of the knits paired with the leggings.
Also, the image on your Tee looks like a Banksy artwork :)
