Rainglow Brite

4/25/2013

Yeah, that's rain. Haha. I'm totally getting rained on. I didn't want to set up my tripod, since the camera lens would get wet. So, I asked my partner to take these for me just before we left to grab a late lunch. It was very kind of him to take these one-handed, as his other hand was holding an umbrella. :D

I wasn't sure if this outfit was worth photographing, to be honest. I decided to share this, because I'm wearing that kick ass 60's plaid shift dress from my previous post as a cardigan. It's an unconventional way of wearing dresses, but I do this a lot. So, I just wanted to show you guys this alternative style.
I think the dress added the right amount of color/interest to an otherwise super casual outfit.

The only new thing that I'm wearing is this glow-in-the-dark t-shirt from Threadless. :D It's too bad the sun wasn't in full blast, because the shirt totally would have been glowing later on that night. It's my first glow-in-the-dark shirt, actually. I love the comical pictures on the tee, especially the rocket. :D

Ok, I LOVE this outfit. Glow in the dark? check! Threadless t-shirt. check! chuck taylors. check! cute skinny jeans. check!

Super bonus points for working your threadless t-shirt into a creative outfit. I have only about a million and am a little stuck as to how to incorporate them. I might have to make it a goal for next week. :D As usual, your outfits are way inspirational!

Aww, thanks Rebecca! This made me smile! Yeah, I've got a ton of Threadless shirts--more than I actually wear, for sure. I've been giving them away in my swap group. Haha. So, I know how you feel. :D I'm so happy to inspire you with this outfit. I figured it was a pretty boring outfit, really. Hehe. I think two comments is just about right for this one. ;P

I'm planning on doing some T-shirt centric posts, though! I have a lot of cool ones and I really need any excuse to start wearing them!

I'm obsessed with that flannel shirt and the pop of color it brings to this look!

Have a great day! Xx. Pip

Ahh, yeah, I know right? The color is just perfect! It looks like a shirt on me, though, doesn't it? Haha. It's actually a dress. ;P Stupid height. Thanks a lot, Dad.

Now, don't take this the wrong way -- and I'm sure you won't, because you're very open-minded -- but you look a wee bit androgynous in this post. And I love it. I fricken love it. Wait, is that a girl? Wait, is that a boy? Wait, who cares, cause they're gorgeous either way. ;)

also, does that backpack come from Dickies? (hehehehe, I'm giggling as I type that cause I'm mature like that). It looks similar to one I saw a few years ago when I was buying my music-print backpack from Hot Topic.

Speaking of Hot Topic, I saw that you got your jeans from Hot Topic. Good choice. I get most of my gauges from there and they have a few dresses I've got my eye on at the moment. I'm seriously addicted to skulls right now XD

love,

Man, the things you say.. I'm wondering if it is possible for me to like you more than I already do. If there was a scale of mildly offensive to highly offensive references, I don't think your comment would even have any place on such a scale. ;) It's probably the best compliment anyone has ever given me, so far. Now, every time I look at this photo I smile, because I see the androgyny where I didn't before. I've always felt like a guy in a girl's body. Always. So, what you saw doesn't surprise me. I find it hilarious that I didn't even see it until now. Heh. I guess it's because I wasn't even trying. I was just being myself. :D

Yeah, dude! I've had this backpack foreeeever. I must have washed it a million times and it's still holding up. It's got some bike grease on it here and there, but that's about it. Dickies brand is pretty high quality for the price.

Right on. Hot Topic and I had a good run back in the day. I gave up my spikes and bondage pants many moons ago. I hardly ever shop at HT, now. The only things I find of interest are their jeans and their shoes. Half the boots in my closet are from HT. That's like the one thing they always get right at that place. Kick ass boots.

I love the playfulness that is always evident in your wardrobe- this shirt being no exception. Fun!
