I haz clothes

Mostly for [livejournal.com profile] cutothechase ...

Because we were talking about Dressing Sixties-Ish, and I said, "I do actually dress 60s-inspired (or 40s or 50s, because I love vintage stuff!) a lot...Sometimes it's more obvious than others, but I try to work a little vintage in whenever I'm making an effort not to look like a hobo...I should post some of my outfits when I'm pleased with them." And I was requested to share, so I'm sharing. :D (YAY I LOVE CLOTHES OMG.)

Today was a non-hobo day I think, so here you go, my dear!
I forgot earrings. Dammit.

Shirt: thrift store
Skirt: okay fine I made it
Boots: Um. They're old. I forget. And they're brown. Really.

I know I had a picture of a girl in a green print mini that reminded me of that fabric, that's why I bought it in the first place! Of course I can't find said picture, so have a generic 60s outfit shot for inspiration instead.

And no, I don't know why their heads are chopped off. That's Google for you.

Muwahaha, yes gurl. John's evil secksy powers of awesome never fail. It's trufax.

oooh you're so lucky! Having all that thrift around must be heaven! That's so cool that you've made some of them too! 8D I dunno, I'm gonna keep looking around in random places and hopefully I'll come across something 60s and awesome (though they tend to come hand-in-hand ;D)

I adore your icon, first of all. TEA!!!!!

Honestly I think I've found the best (aka the cheapest and/or the most ridiculous) stuff in the shops that aren't in the "best areas". Village Thrift is right next to Camden, and one time, in a store near Trenton, I found an LP of The Kids Are Alright soundtrack but I DIDN'T HAVE CASH SO I COULDN'T GET IT. *woe* Maybe that's part of your problem...I hear Long Island's pretty nice. ;)

60s and awesome usually are hand-in-hand, you're right! :D Good luck in your quest for awesome clothes; I'm sure you'll come up with something! I tend to think to myself...could I see Anita Pallenberg or Pattie Boyd or Grace Slick or, well, Mick J (lol when it's a dress) wearing it in the Good Old Days? When it's a yes, I go for it! Which, to be fair, has led me into wearing some ridiculous things! But I love it. XD
