I wear funny clothes, part 2

[mandie_rw]

It's been a Sixties sort of week I suppose.

Again, when not looking like a hobo.


Yesterday's outfit. Yeah, I wore that out in public.

Tunic: cotton muslin, made by me
Jeans: thrift store. You can't really see the awesomeness of these jeans, I'll have to post them another time.
Bracelets: Forever 21

I originally made the tunic for a beach cover-up on the cheap (God knows I've got enough muslin in the Stash!), but started wearing it for a shirt as well because it made me gleeful. When it was hotter I'd wear it with leggings. There's crappy-ish machine embroidery around the hem/neck/sleeves as well, that you can't see very well. I want another of these tunics, they're really comfy! Next time I want to splurge and make it out of linen, though.

Inspiration, among others, and unsurprisingly:


(PS: I've got a serious case of Mick Taylor hair, I know. It's fluffy and sad. Annoyingly, that's my hair. I calmed it down a little for the picture...but seriously, all day it looked like this.)



Today's outfit. Back to minis!

Dress and shoes: Ross
Earrings: Forever 21
Headband: some dollar store
Bracelet: nicked from my sister

I have too much crap in my room. God.

No specific inspiration for this one; I just saw the dress in the store and said, OOOOHH, a short, vaguely shapeless polyester dress? IT MUST BE MINE!!

Also, the Google homepage for today makes me happy. Of course it does. =)

SICKKKK 8D Love the first one, that's actually kinda really cute XD And btw, LOVE the Tommy poster and gorgeous guitar :)

I wish we had a Ross by us! You can always find the randomest most AMAZING things there! XD *standing ovation for clothes* Now I'm gonna go check out the first part! XD

Hehe, thank you! It's so comfy; every time I wear it, I'm like, dude, THIS is why they wore this stuff! After decades of suits for men and heels and skirts for women, why would you not want to wear this?? (Not to knock dressing up, either...I love me some skirts and heels...and a well-dressed man as well, hehe!)

Ross is faaaabulous! Nearly all my dresses that I didn't make/are from the thrift store are from Ross! I try on about six dresses every time I go in. It's kind of sick.

And I thought somebody might have some love for the poster and guitar. ;)

I BET it's comfy! It looks it! I dunno why more people don't wear that stuff now? I totally agree, it's nice to dress up sometimes. But not every freaking day. XD Love it!

So lucky you have all those stores close by! There are NO Rosses and practically no thrift stores at all on Long Island *dies* Why is everywhere else so wonderful with shopping opportunities, and here is like, the ghetto? ughh

Two great outfits! Love that white muslin top.

The second outfit is very mid-60s and so smart. Is it an original?

Thank you very much!

Oh, I wish it were! Nope, it's just from a discount department store; got it a year or two ago. But you've made my day by asking! XD

CUTE! :-)

And yay for the Beatles in India! :-)

Thanks! =D

Yay Beatles indeed! I still find it funny that I find as much inspiration from men's clothing in the late 60s as from women's...I guess because they weren't that different! XD
