Outfits!

There's one thing about me that's always left people quite confused: I like different styles. I guess people just wanted to stick a label on me so that they could figure out "what" I really was. When you're an alternative, people are rarely interested in "who" you are; they'd rather focus on "what" you are, wouldn't they?

By the way!

What I was trying to say is that you can see me in two totally different outfits from one day to the other. These three last outfits, which I wore at work in the last month, are the perfect proof to what I'm saying.

In chronological order...

I love this picture <3 the photographer of the even came himself to ask me whether he could take one. He asked me to strike the classic pin-up pose and well, I did my best XD

This one I'm kind of proud of. I'd been planning to wear this outfit since I bought that shirt months ago XD for some reason, I like to think I took inspiration from Chloe McGruff (the protagonist of Don't Trust the Bitch from Apartment 23). You know: a bit trendy, but with an alternative vibe. And in fact I met a girl and she told me I looked kind of gothish, so it still showed what my nature really is X°D

I had a long interesting chat with that girl, until she asked me "listen, that guy behind you, is he het...?" (since we were at a gay friendly event).

"That's my boyfriend", I replied.

Here you should be able to see my accessories a little better (if you right-click on the pic, you can open it in a new tab and see it in a better resolution).

The necklace is the "I wanna do bad things with you" one from Restyle; on my right wrist, a chain bracelet. On my left hand, the Vivienne Westwood replica ring that the girl aforementioned complimented me on so much, before telling me what she really was after from the very start of our conversation XD.

And this is from last night. I'd forgotten my waistbelt at home X°D and I think I should have added more necklaces.

Also, in this pic you can't really see my hold-ups, so here's another one where you can XD

The dress, the creepers and the bracelet I'm wearing on my left wrist are new <3!

The dress is exactly what I was looking for: a plain, black dress without sleeves. Believe it or not, it took me the whole summer to find one!

I'd been longing for a pair of creepers for ages before getting these ones... they are unisex, which means they have a straight platform, and the platform is double. They're perfect, but not as easy to walk in as I thought.

 Close-up on my accessories <3 the necklace is quite old, while the bracelets are quite new.

The last one, on my left wrist, I found in a small boutique in a small town where the friendliest gay guy showed me spiked and chained leather bracelets telling me that they were inspired from some Dolce&Gabbana collection. I guess he told me that because that day I was dressed in pink and he thought I was a fashion victim who needed to be reassured that they looked rockish, but hey!, rock chic, like, from brands...! Ahah XD

Bonus pic of me wearing a pink wig XD I kind of like that colour; when I was younger I wanted to dye my hair that exact bright pink XD they told me it looked very good with black. I think so too :D!

I hope you liked my outfits, even though they were not all goth <3 does any of you like different styles, like me?

Halloween Outfit & Monthly Theme - Hosiery

As I said, in the end I couldn't be Drusilla: not only my boyfriend didn't want to shave his beard to be Spike, but he also got the flu, so I had to go to the party alone (I mean, with my friends) and there was no point in putting on an outfit I had planned to wear as a couple. (Besides, I hadn't found a brown wig)
So I went for a classic: pin-up. Not very original, I know, but you know, pin-up is a trend right now, and I had some clothes from my 2008 rockabilly phase :D. There was one in particular I'd only worn once, and it was too bad because it's lovely. So I gave up unicity and jumped on the rockabilly bandwagon :D

Unfortunately, my hair didn't come out very good. I had planned to do two victory rolls but it was easier to only do one; then I asked my mother for help with the curlers, but something went wrong and instead of getting amazing blonde locks I got... whatever this is. XD

XD I had also forgotten to bring my jewelry, my plan was to wear a black velvet choker. But I think my outfit was fine all the same.
Me and my friend Matteo ended up having matching costumes XD our friends told us we reminded them of Candyman by Christina Aguilera XD.
I don't really like the tights, but it was quite cold and there was a major storm outside. Well, they actually declared a state of maximum alert and we risked a flooding, but this happens very often where I live, I'm used to it :D.

And now... hosiery!



I'm glad this is this month's theme because these last few months I've bought some really nice stuff.
Unfortunately, I haven't worn any of these things yet, so the outfits you'll see below are instant and random xD I haven't figured out how to wear some of these tights yet.

For some reason, the picture of my favourite stockings (the lace corseted ones) came out really, really bad :/ but I should wear them again in a comic convention this weekend, and I'll make sure to take better pics. :)
I hope you liked them - and if you have any suggestion on how to wear the red and the pentagram tights, they'd be more than welcome XD!

Fyeah Finery Fashion Challenge ~ Day 1

Another challenge :D! This time it's Dani Deathbiscuit's "Fyeah Finery Fashion Challenge".


Day 1 ~

Take a picture of you in your most cherished item of clothing (never mind the date!)
Give a little info on it - including where you bought it and why it means something to you (eg. is it sentimental?)

It was quite difficult to choose just one item. I don't have favourites among my clothes, I love them and I've longed for them before buying them the same way.

So I chose a dress that dates back to, uhm, 2008 probably; it's not representative of my current style at all (at the time, I was going through a huge gothabilly phase :D) but it is so beautiful that I still wear it sometimes; it fits in pretty much every context and I like what it does to my figure.
Speaking of which: I reckon this is the first dress I've ever bought. Before this one, I'd always thought that minidresses were for thin girls only. So maybe this is why I chose it, not only because this is one of the oldest clothes I own that I still wear, but because it symbolizes some sort of liberation :D.

In this second picture, while my boyfriend was shooting, we heard the phone ring and I told him to go answer it; this is why I'm in a weird pose :D
I wish I could make victory rolls with my hair, it would be a perfect match for the outfit!
