Pagan Pride Days

I just got a new skirt and cincer.

I give way too much money to Hot Topic.

Off to donate blood again.

Maybe I should start wearing short-sleeved undershirts on Red Cross days.

An adventure.

I'm sorry I haven't been updating this as much as I used to, but I intend to pick up again; largely because I find the reactions people have to my outfits amusing.
Read about my adventure in this outfit here.

Kat is approached by a strange man who looks about twice her age and three times as old as she looks.
Stranger: I like your drawings.
Kat: Oh, thank you.
Stranger: And that outfit's hot.
Kat: Oh, thanks.
Stranger: You got a husband?
Kat: Uh, I'm not sure how to answer that, sir!

It's true, I still don't know how to answer "I am not married but you are not to hit on me." in a businesslike tone.
For what it matters, I was illustrating a Dr. Who fic. Six and Peri and ten and Rose split ice cream cones as a time native runs toward the camera in panic.

A pagan is explaining paganism to an outside observer, who has noticed a large festival with pretty good music, lots of shops and even more happy people.
Pagan: ...no, it predates Christanty, mostly old-world traditions...
Observer: So like witches and stuff?
Pagan: Some of us practice witchcraft, but it's not required.
Kat passes
Observer: If that's what a pagan looks like, I want to be one!
Kat: Faith and fashion are unconnected, sir. Believe what you want and to believe and dress how you want to dress.

And of course, at least five "I love your outfit!" from passing people; mostly young women.

I recently got a huge pile of vintage clothes from someone who's moving. I'm really excited about this blouse in particular, as it's pretty much exactly the blouse I was wishing I had for this outfit.

Don't forget your booties, because it's cold out there!

 It's cold out there every day!

The two faces of Kittywitch.

The middle girly one was me seeing how close I could get to the third doctor's outfit with what I had lying around, then getting distracted and putting on a miniskirt. But we've all done that, gotten dressed aiming at Doctor Who and wound up in a miniskirt?

Funny story about the green outfit.

Troll different:
As many of you already know, I dress in a manner that could be called a little eccentric. It could be called other things as well, but that's not the point. And usually, when we go over to help Mark, he comments on it. Not everyone can appreciate an outfit with almost a pound of metal dispersed around it, or the irony of it being worn by a delicate young woman. You in the back, please stop laughing and let me finish my story. As these are pretty much the only negative comments I ever get on my appearance and he's kind of an ass, I try to ignore him.
Yesterday, however, he had nothing negative to say about my outfit. This is either because he's getting more tactful, or he had no objections. In retrospect, neither sound terribly likely. My clothing was actually very prim, a lolita-style blouse with a high collar and long sleeves, and a matching skirt. Leggings, boots, a cravat and a nice vest to tone down the lace.
Mark is colorblind, so while he might have noticed that my blouse, cravat pin, socks, hairbows, and lipstick all matched, he probably didn't notice that they were neon green. Let me repeat that, because it's the important part. The only person who regularly gives me a hard time about how I dress didn't notice I was wearing green lipstick.

Two days, or two centuries.

Why don't I wear pigtails with that hat more often? It's much more comfortable that way.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day

I'm so glad it's cool enough I can wear my wool skirt again.

 Toward the end of the day I had one of those hysterical fits that reminds me I actually am nuts. But it did make my eyeliner run in a cool way. That's why I included a close up of my face. For a full account of my hysteria, please check my livejournal.

By the way, I think this is my first post with my new sweatshirt. Isn't that an awesome thing? It fits just like a normal jacket, but it's lighter and perfect for taking on and off all day in early fall.

By the way, I hate summer.

I feel that I should explain what is going on in the center picture. Some days I forget to take the daily picture entirely, and some days I just happen to take one, not for the blog, but as a reference for a drawing. You will recall this terrifying expression. Perhaps in your nightmares.

Tips for the trashy.

If you can't stop your bra straps from showing, at least make sure they match.

Not fishing for compliments or anything, just comparing this picture to previous ones and making an observation: I look like shit today. Nothing wrong with the outfit, I just look ill. Stupid heat.


A secondary tip for the trashy: Don't look trashy. This is me trying to get work done while overheated. My clothes still coordinate, they are clean, and the average amount of skin is covered. It's not hard.

I feel cool.

I just think this is an extremely cool summer outfit. Maybe it's because I look like an anime character.

Sorry that I've been neglecting this blog, but there isn't really much that can be said for it. I could be putting alot more effort into it than I am, talking about fashion and such. The thing is, much of my style is DIY, and therefore the only sensible thing is that I put more How-To posts, like the cropped vest.

Also, I cleaned my closet yesterday, so I will be wearing more dresses in the future.

To anyone who is reading this, feel free to comment on anything you'd like to see more of in this blog. More talking about the clothes, where they were found or how they were made; less talking about the clothes, close ups of details on the outfits. Something else I was thinking of trying, later, was a closetplay week.

As we all know, cosplay is when you make a costume to look like a particular character; preferably assuming that character, however briefly, at a convention. Closetplay is when you pull together that costume out of things you had lying around (like Misa). I was thinking of trying to do an entire week of closetplay as what I just happened to be wearing that day.

Heat makes for slow posting.

 Frankly, I only took the first picture because I needed reference for a drawing.

Just this dress again
