The idea for the following came out of a succession of events. To sum up: over Winter break, I was congraulated by a Best Buy cashier on wearing certain items of clothing (a fedora, the green velvet jacket and a french scarf) and not looking incredibly emo. Fast forward to last week when I'm walking through the streets of Chicago, having just gone to a thrift store, wearing a pre-beaten-up newsboy-style hat, brown blazer and Rocket Dog shoes, with my headphones draped around my neck and buttons covering my messenger bag: and I thought, "OhmyGod. I am emo!" At least in fashion sense, anyway.
And so I give you:
The Emilys go Emo, a Facebook production. The other Em is Roomie!Em. Ain't she purty?
ETA: Since some people can't see it (woe! I thought Facebook would be more friendly), I'm posting the pictures here.
