And now, for my next trick.. Here are some of the times I managed to put on clothes successfully! This post is brought to you by my regret at not having posted everytime I took a picture of an outfit I liked, and also by my desire to counter balance my post on failed outfits earlier this week.

Its also, accidentally, a testament to how certain pieces work for me over and over again.

Do you have items that show up over and over in the outfits you like? If so, link me pictures in the comments. I’m interested to see if other people have habits like my exposed underwear band and platform boots. 🙂

 

Place: Forecastle Festival, KY

Time: July 2016

Style Icon: If Courtney Love got kind of sober and borrowed Taylor Swift’s lipstick?

Fucks given: That dark Colour Pop lipstick requires the giving of at least three fucks.

Notes: My dog Vega just chewed up those hiking socks the other day, and I am mad, bro.

 

 

Place: Forecastle Festival, KY

Time: July 2016

Style Icon: Rose from Keeping Up Appearances.

Fucks given: After a visit to the whiskey tent, not a damn one.

Notes: The cool smell of the river…

 

Place: Delano, Las Vegas

Time: June

Style Icon: Are sequins an icon? If not, maybe Dolly Parton?

Fucks given: Not enough to realize that my sequin skirt was tearing up that gauzy shirt when I was dancing.

Notes: I met these girls on the internet.

 

Place: Delano, Las Vegas

Time: June, when I’d normally be at E3

Style Icon: clearly, a coven.

Fucks given: after walking the entire length of the monorail and then some in those shoes.. about 6-8.

Notes: We did not plan these outfits. We each knew what outfit we were wearing that night ahead of time; these were them.

 

Place: Las Vegas

Time: June 2016

Style Icon: your mom, when she was hot.

Fucks given: 2. Just enough to take that faux leather skirt to be tailored before I wore it out.

Notes: I swear I am happy in these pictures.

 

Place: Old Vegas

Time: June 2016

Style Icon: Ms. Pac Man.

Fucks given: 0.

Notes: This is at the shipping container shopping center.

 

Place: My house; outfit later worn to Cedar Groves, Dallas, and Joey’s studio.

Time: July 9, 2016

Style Icon: Bonnie Strange channeling Baby Spice?

Fucks given: 3. The snap on that bag turned out to be broken, it required 3 to keep it closed.

Notes: I bought the bag that day specifically to go with those boots.

 

Place: My house, but outfit intended for a Rangers game.

Time: June? 2016

Style Icon: Axel Rose, but with less wardrobe changes.

Fucks given: Who wants to know?

Notes: The tripod in the background symbolizes what we have all become in the #SelfieAge.

 

Place: Allen, TX

Time: August maybe?

Style Icon: My hair is its own icon. I’m a charismatic 7, but my hair is a 9.5.

Fucks given: None.

Notes: This was actually just a “just got my hair did” picture, but I like that bra-shirt-necklace combo. In hindsight, this is prob the shirt that might have made my intended NYE outfit work. Oh well.

 

Place: My really great selfie mirror, but later, Gwen Stefani at Gexa.

Time: September 2016?

Style Icon: Maybe Gwen Stefani, but maybe Marky Mark.

Fucks given: Nope.

Notes: I’m really into Calvin Klein underwear with big athletic style bands.

 

Place: The depths of a selfie mirror; later, my work holiday party.

Time: December 2016.

Style Icon: Ellen. You know which Ellen.

Fucks given: left them at the door.

Notes: I was supposed to wear different pants, shoes, and shirt, but the pants had weird laundry residue on them, so I switched pants, which forced a shirt and shoe switch. I got ready in about 20 minutes.

 

Place: selfie land; shops at Park Lane, Dallas.

Time: December 2016

Style Icon: Luke or Leia.

Fucks given: enough to redo piggy buns four times.

Notes: Its hard to do space piggy buns with a side shave and a badly overgrown back undercut.

 

Place: Selfie mirror; later around Plano, TX.

Time: December 2016

Style Icon: a girl I met briefly on a press tour in New York once.

Fucks given: 1.6.

Notes: Just put a hat on it.
