FASHION POST!
Those who are thoroughly uninterested in clothing/fashion/style and things of the sort, skip past this entry! Nay, run past it! Ride horseback past it!
I'm posting it here too because I love clothes, and for those fashion-forward friends of mine, I'd love to discuss clothes and mixing/matching and whatnot in this entry! So please, read on, frock-lovers, and any suggestions you have would be awesome!
[...]
My style has always been punk-grunge-rocker chic (even though I abhor that term)... lots of black and grey, metal, denim, etc. Recently, in the past year and a half or so, I have really begun to branch out and get into fashion. My "punk/rocker" (gag!) self is still highly evident in my style (lots of old ripped band t-shirts, long unruly hair, tons of boots and pointy-toed black shoes, metal and chains, you know, that sort of aesthetic), but I've started to throw a lot of nu-bohemian elements into my wardrobe, and I love to layer and mess with proportion. You guys in this community have been a real inspiration so far, for sure. I'm starting to mix patterns more and wear more colour here and there (rather than my previously strict diet of black, grey and denim).
Basically I joined this community because I LOVE to look at other people's fashion... just to ogle, but also to draw inspiration for my own closet.
I wanted to post a bunch of new pieces I've acquired over the past couple of months, and also some of my favourite pieces, and see if you guys could give me some interesting suggestions on outfits or ways to wear some of these pieces.
My main problem is... If I am not wearing some kind of dress, I have always had trouble with my bottom-half: I never know what to wear on the bottom. Mostly I'll do patterned tights and short black American Apparel cotton roll-up shorts, with boots. That's kind of my staple bottom-half look lately, aside from skinny jeans (I love ones with zippers/patches/rips). I'm also particular to pencil skirts. So, I am eager to hear any suggestions in regards to that!
There are a LOT of pics, so be fore-warned :)
First off, this is me, just to get an idea of, whatever, I don't know, my style or whatnot:

This is a gorgeous vintage corset that a friend found at a thrift store a couple of years ago, and gave to me... Heart-shaped neckline, deep v in the back, garter-straps still in tact... I may have to make a separate post with this thing, I adore it.
