Solid Snake eyepatch Vs. Black Bulter eyepatch

I'm starting to wear makeup again, which might sound sad to the people who wear makeup because it's socially expected in their profession, but as someone who just likes painting on my face, it makes me very happy to have the energy to put into painting something that will be washed away in eight hours.

I've never been very good at applying false eyelashes, and the lack of depth perception isn't helping with that, but I'm enjoying the opportunity to practice. Plus, I don't have to get my eyeliner even when I'm wearing an eyepatch!

I don't normally like asymmetry in hairstyles, at least not my own, and I usually detest messy buns in semi-formal outfits, but I think that the way it echoes the overall asymmetry in wearing an eyepatch.
I think it's the pearl pins that really set it off.

I just got a new skirt and cincer.

I give way too much money to Hot Topic.

Always time for tea. And cookies.

Funny story. We just dug up some old photographs of my ancestors, and I can really see the resemblance...
In the way we dress.

That's my great-grandmother Ellie, from whom I get my marvelous peanut butter cookie recipe.

She's not eating a cookie here, we think it's maple sugar.

Being fabulous.

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?!"

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.

Goggles and bloomers does not steampunk make.

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.
