Nintendo Flower Power

I could have called this post "Atari Flower Power," but I never had an Atari as a kid. Bah! I suck. Heh. The first console I ever had was a Sega Master System.  After that, I got a Nintendo and then a Sega Genesis. So, the Nintendo was the first console on which I played Pac-Man. :P Though, I also had a pretty good Pac-Man for DOS made of ASCII. If you're not a gamer, then just ignore this. Hehe.

Here's what my first Pac-Man experience looked like before I played it on Nintendo.
 
This image (stoked to even find it!) takes me back. I had many great games for DOS. Good times! <3

Anyway, I felt in a gaming mood, so I created an outfit around my thrifted Pac-Man tee. I really like how this turned out. I was going to wear studded loafers, but my partner said those were too serious for the outfit. So, I went with the black and white Converse sneakers, instead. The floral and gaming patterns seemed like a natural pairing. You'll find many overlaps in their color schemes, so I considered this a rather aesthetically pleasing combination. Aside from the Pac-Man shirt, I'm wearing three new items.

The first new item is my Fleet Collection silver chain linked bracelet. The polished silver really draws your eyes and the design is simple, but elegant. I need those two qualities with my jewelry. I really don't like to make a fuss with a bunch of danglybobs. The whole arm candy thing just isn't my bag.

Next, we've got my new sheer tights. From a distance, the patterns look like dots, but they are really just tiny little squares connected in a delicately weaved netting. I think they expertly garnished the outfit.

Last, I'm wearing a blue/black contrast top with pleather elbow patches. It's more of a purple hue and I was looking for something cobalt, but it still works with the color scheme of this outfit. I think the elbow patches are a nice, subtle touch given that they're the same color as the sleeves. Though, I think it would have been a little more fun if the elbow patches were a different color, such as coral. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post! Have a wonderful weekend! :D <3

Darn that elbow patched top is awesome. Love the pacman nerdy t-shirt ^_^ How dorky can you get :D
I used to play only Jazz the rabbit whole day. And of course Counter Strike, but most of my friend didn't want me on their team because I sucked at it.
I love your hairdo, the sneakers and the satchel, and especially the floral skirt. Love everything! ^_^

Hehe. Thanks! :D Yeah, I wish I could go back to those days when I was always angry at my parents, but could find solace in my clunky 486, my CGA graphic laden CRT and my DOS games.

*sigh*

you're a Nerd's dream girl, aren't you? ;)

on a serious note, though, I do love this combo. It's very unexpected and yet matches perfectly. I feel like the youth of the shirt plays off of the mature nature of the skirt. And the video game aspect contrasts nicely with the floral sweetness. Basically I wasn't expecting it and I love it.

And the little bun is adorable, by the way.

love,

Rad! I'm so glad you like it! It was so much fun to wear and I enjoyed every second of wearing it. I know it's not a style that everyone will appreciate or understand, but I've received such an overwhelming response on Chictopia and here on my blog. So, I feel really good that I could inspire so many people by just being myself. :D It's a special thing. <3
