Suffer For Fashion

Hi! :D So, I wanted to look retro, modern and futuristic all at the same time. This is what I came up with! There's just something about crisp white juxtaposed with inky black hues that excites me. Hehe.

You might remember the kick ass vintage white blouse from this post. I decided to show it off a bit more, instead of just highlighting the collar (which is a frequent tendency). It looks big on me, because it *is* big. Heh. It's the equivalent of a modern size large. Of course, I didn't care about the size when I saw the beautiful, intricate details in the fabric. I also knew that the arm holes would be quite large after having the sleeves professionally removed. A minor inconvenience, at best. Heh. Still totally worth it!

The blouse gave the outfit a nice vintage touch, as did the wingtip oxford booties. The high low black skirt added drama through movement. I love when the wind catches it! As I'm fond of playing around with shapes, I wore my suspenders on a single shoulder. I liked the resulting segmented look.

Tidbit: My partner wanted to go downtown to buy fries after these photos were taken. Yeah. He had a hankerin'. So, just picture me at a Five Guys counter ordering fries to go. Haha. Good times. >=]~

I want these booties, soooo much! They are fabulous! I loved the top, with the sleeves removed, and the suspenders, too - I a a great fan of suspenders! The skirt proportions are really nice, I like when it is short on the front! I think that you really look beautiful, this is one of my favorite outfits that you showed!

You are officially Janelle Monae's long-lost twin. :D "[R]etro, modern and futuristic" is totally her jam.

Hahaha. Thanks! She's got the whole pomadour style down pat, so I always get that comparison. She sets the bar high, too. >_< Hehe.

Wooow!! Stunning :D
Black and white is such a dramatic combo so the way you wore suspenders looks even more dramatic in the best way possible <3

Sunglasses <3 you have the coolest collection. Big fan!!

Hey not sure you'll see my response to your comment on my last blog post so here it is again:

Wait wait how close was I to you?! Also, I heard a rumour that you were supposed to be shy and a meet-up would be awkward. :P I’m gutted that I missed an opportunity to meet one of my blog friends!

Also, your outfit here is amazing. I'm really loving monochromatic looks at the moment. I occasionally toy with the idea of shifting my wardrobe to be all black, white and grey and how badass that would look. Then I remember that this is ME afterall and I am obsessed with bright colours and prints and how that wouldn't work at all. LOL. I should aim to do some more monochromatic looks though. :D

Dude you totally nailed it with this outfit. Love the shirt and skirt combo! I'm also digging how you switched it up with the suspenders on one shoulder.

The suspenders on the same shoulder just feel like such an out of the box idea and such a fun one that really combines all the elements you wanted.

Congrats on another blogoversary.

Lol I just pictured you. You nailed this monochrome look, I like the drama the high-low skirt adds as well and the suspenders add a cool look to this fit.

WAIT A MINUTE! Wing tip Doc Martens are a real thing?? Now I've seen it all! I love how you thought outside the box with the suspenders.

I've definitely worn my fair share of odd looks to do ordinary things. It's true you gotta suffer unwanted stares for the sake of fashion!
