Purple Pants

I finally decided to utilize my button/pin collection for one of the first times this year, and I haven't been so confident with an outfit I put together in a few!

What's awesome about this outfit, is that aside from the little accessories it's hella simple- I don't really have the most simple style because I like to express myself, or rather, over-express myself.  But I think in this particular case I could be myself without over-stating it.

I think in this modern culture people put a lot of emphasis on expressing their interests, and I don't think it's all that bad.  Pins are a kind of way to do that.  Here's to my supa kawaii panda & pony pins and my Ramones pins <3 

^^My phone camera's pretty cool.  Isn't this really good detail on my purple shorts?  I bought them at Madewell this past winter, I think.  They're real quality.

I have these pretty darn cute pictures of me from my webcam yesterday :3

I wore this bindi I got from the bookstore earlier, which is mostly a fashion thing... but I also saw this really cool movie on india recently and I really liked it's description of the purpose of wearing the third eye in hindu culture-  to help you see what your eyes alone can not.  I also had some belly bindi on but took it off when I had to put a sweater on for the hookah bar.

So, after last night I realized that lookbook.nu is fucking stupid, because they flat-out deleted my only entry because it didn't show my feet (I cropped them out cause they I was only wearing mlp socks and I didn't want the fashion world to judge me for being a brony).  I have a friend who has only one foot, what if he decided that he was the dapperest mofo  on the planet and posted himself to lookbook?  That would be discrimination.  If they deleted his picture, I mean.  Okay, so I'm kidding.  But- fuck.  It's just such a small thing and they barely even notified me.  But I digress, it was  kind of a cheap half-assed post.  I used 200 orange translucent bubbles to cover up the fact that my photography & lighting was god-awful.  What I'm getting at here, is that I'm going to put more of my energy into this little slice of me-ness than futily throwing myself into the world of blonde girls with peter-pan collars and american apparel brogues.  This is my fashion blog.

(PS.  the quality of pictures on this entry is much better)

First of all, it's a gorgeous day.  Very sunny and bright, so that helped.  I really prided myself on picking out details here.  I've always really liked the multiple-bracelet thing since I was a punky highschooler -even though it had a reputation of only existing only so that cutters can cover their scars, it's still always been radass to me.  And the barrettes are nice, but better for the >year 5 age group when people don't actually have much hair.  I took them out after the pic 'cause they just wack everything up.

I love love these boots.  I got them at Valley Thrift in Cincinnati for only about $5, even if I did end up spending an extra $15 to get them repaired about a week ago by this funny Chinese guy.  And another detail:  The red ring.  You'll see that a lot.  I don't leave home without it.  Let's just say, that ring has been through a lot of experiences with me, and it's gotten very, very dirty.

Oh, the dress is from H&M and as cute as the layering is, it's out of necessity cause there's a snag in my dress right over the nipple.  It's not sexy.  At all. Yeah, that's my outfit.  Sorry about all of the doe-eyes that I've been making.  I guess I think I'm Zooey Deschannel or something.
