109; STRIP TOUR 1984

Shirt: Shop Wasteland vintage ☯ Leggings: ROMWE ☯ Dual jacket: JCPenny ☯ Boots: Jeffrey Campbell Hell Yes

That third photo is of me discovering a very drunk-looking wasp on the wall right beside me. (And Kathryn even photographed it.) I suppose he wasn't dealing with the 40 degree weather very well.

Four and seven are me looking also quite drunk??

This shirt in particular is hilarious. It's a men sized medium. Only Adam Ant would issue such a tiny fucking line of shirts for men, my god. It can barely stay together around my hips, I'm shocked I haven't busted a seam yet.

That being said, it is COMFORTABLE. It's straight up Hanes sweatshirt material (is it really Hanes brand? I don't know and I'm way too lazy to get to the closet and check) but sleeveless. It's a summer sweatshirt. OF COURSE, Adam is a goddamned fashion genius. He is always finding new ways to blow my mind.

I want to address the half-human-half-cat sexy furry lady going on on the back of the shirt, but...what can I really supply that with? It's...it's existing. That's all I can really say.

WHY DO I LOOK LIKE SOME BIZARRE MIXTURE OF AGE TWENTY-SOMETHING AND TWELVE. Man this is so not attractive.

Whatever.

So I really love this stained-glass ~birth of Jesus~ sweatshirt. I jokingly called it my Christmas Sweater few months back. This year it'll be Hindu, promise.

Easiest outfit possible. Oversized shirt, and leggings. I feel like I'm cheating some sort of system, but it just works. (Especially if you're petite like me. IRL, being the height of a child, this looks especially ridic.) I love clothes for shapes and proportions, and one of my favourite things to do is to wear something comically oversized on top with something form fitting for the legs. And, duh, I love doing this even more when there's visual-impairing neons involved. It's like the 80s glam and 90s grunge had some horrible, wonderful child.

I really love ROMWE for catering to such awesome styles, btdubs. Plus their printed leggings are the bomb. They make these outfits just TOO easy to do.

Something about this reminds me of the 1950s rockabilly scene, but super glam... So I guess Stray Cats + Madonna. Perhaps it is aided by the old English architecture of New England, so I get this potent mental picture of 1950s Liverpool, with brooding teens in leather jackets and pompadour hairstyles loitering around rotting brick buildings near the shore. Any Beatles fans in the house? Anyone? Anyone?

This, but '80s. (source)
Nevermind that this may very well be Germany but WHATEVER.

But I suppose a french braid isn't a proper substitute for a pompadour.

I have an increasing interest in this sort of style. I kind of have a secret desire to bring this all together in an outfit someday: plaid button up, leather jacket, skinny jeans, creepers, wayfairers, pomp. It will be attempted, surely.

Some inspo on the matter until I get this assembled; I originally saved this to my "future haircut" folder. It seems like this is the obvious next step for my hair when I get tired of it.

I'll just be over here, sighing longingly, dreaming of this perfect life.
