New skirt!

My brother got it for me for Christmas. I normally hate it when people buy me clothes, but this skirt I asked for specifically. I've wanted a red and black underpleated skirt for a while now. Since high school, really. I guess what I hate is people speculating what I'd like to wear and trying to be gracious for them buying a gift that they clearly put thought into while I'm thinking, "Oh dear gods! Is this what they think of me?!"

Sorcerer's Apprentice

 

There was a power outage last night. Power outages always make me glad I live in an old farmhouse designed to keep warm with wood heat. Which gets me to thinking about the era in which it was built.

The long armwarmers over a button-up shirt look was taken directly from The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I do have old man shoes on under that skirt. Sadly, they still have rubber soles.

Tie- Not actually a tie. I think it was a belt originally.

Also, check out the new mirror I got for Christmas!

Sadly, this is my happy face.

It's finally snowed, the Christmas presents I ordered online arrived, and I've done some baking. I'm really very excited about the winter holidays. Sadly, "happy" and "sarcastic" are very similar expressions for me.

Visiting my Grandfather

Most of the nursing home was rather taken by this outfit. Although I was asked if I was in some sort of Christmas festival once or twice.

I wondered about how wearing a skirt longer than my petticoat would look, but in the end I rather like the effect. It reminds me of panniers.

Time Traveler Day

Today is pretend you're a time traveler day. I could be a schoolgirl from anywhere between 1890 and 1968. If they're trying not to break the space-time continuum, they act pretty much the same.

Guy Fawkes Day

Layers. They are warm.

The woman in the antique store I stopped in this morning was charmed by how I was dressed. I suppose that makes sense, if she likes antiques; the vintage look I like so much would appeal. I mean, that's why I was there. When I was trying on some clothes in Target, I realized that my bottom layer, with my thermal undershirt, bloomers, striped socks, and a back brace, would be steampunk by many people's standards. That's very sad.

Happy Halloween

No, I'm not anyone. If someone really wants me to be someone, I'm Claudia from Interview with a Vampire, but I'm too lazy to put in my fangs. Or just a creepy little ghost girl. Or creepy young ghost woman. I'm a lost girl. I'm an English yurei. Actually, I kind of like the last one. I'm an English yurei, from that period where Japan just opened up and all the Europeans thought it was trendy. Which is nothing like how Japan is trendy today. Nope.

Not that it would go with that outfit.

Fortunately, because of this blog I can check and see when I wore it last. My birthday. I didn't leave the house that day, so it's definitely somewhere around here.

Somewhere.

I am so happy with the adjustments I made to this dress. It was always beautiful, but now it's what I wanted it to be when I designed it. I had to make an adjustment to the petticoat as well to make it fit properly.

Way too hot.

Yes, I'm wearing a newsboy cap. Yes, I'm wearing goggles. Yes, I'm wearing bloomers. Yes, I'm wearing striped socks.
But there is nothing Victorian about this outfit! It's not steampunk, it's just awesome.

International Cosplay Day

I'm laughing because I was watching Muppets take Manhattan. They got to the part were the young producer's father looks from his son to Kermit and says, "If you two are in love, I don't want to hear about it."
So I started laughing, then as the camera went off, he added: "If you want to do something different, put some jello down your pants!"

I got a great complement today, and it was on the boots. That's not a surprise. The fact it made the fabric guy in Walmart think of Iggy Stardust, that was a bit of a surprise.

A good day, I've declared it!

I'm back.

Goggles, shorts, and hightops.

And that's summer.

The red outfit got two compliments. Some ten year old boys told me my sneakers were "sick", and a biker said one had to be a non-conformist, "you know what I'm talking about". Although This is pretty standard non-conformist gear.

I own no blue jeans. This only bugs me on the forth of July.
Seeing as it's too hot to wear jeans in July, I'll just ignore it.
