I haven’t done an outfit of the day in months, have I? I wear clothes, I just forget to take pictures of them. I don’t have a good full length mirror (that one isn’t dirty, just very old and the backing is damaged) and I can never find my real camera with the time delay on it. But my outfit today was nice, so even though my pictures are crap I’ll share it anyway. None of the clothes are particularly new but I’ve somehow never worn them together.
- Blouse: eShakti. I don’t think they sell this exact one anymore but they always have a few interesting basics.
- Ponte pants: Old, Dress Barn. Up close they’re a black-on-black damask pattern.
- Boots: Torrid.
- Earrings/Necklace/Bracelet: matching cameo set from The Proud Buffalo Etsy shop.
- Not visible but important: cs-301 corset from Orchard Corsets. Once I’ve worn it enough times I’ll give it a proper review.
I haven’t done an outfit post in ages. That makes me a terrible goth and I must redeem myself. Luckily, my new witch skirt just arrived all the way from England. It’s quite heavy, so it should be nice and warm through the winter. It’s handmade from Corvus Corone and the colors represent the element of earth. There are also lovely skirts representing air, fire, and water and I would have them all if my budget allowed.
Fall doesn’t really arrive here until October, but I’m already dreaming about it. As a kid I was so into summer, but it was probably the break from school I really loved. These days I’m more about fall. Cooler weather, falling leaves, Halloween, what’s not to love? I’m already dreaming about it, and dreaming kind of led to a new tunic/dress with flowy half-sleeves. I’m starting to really enjoy the unicorn hair (though my ends are a little fried) and I’m trying to figure out the right makeup for it. I’m going for the red-eyed consumptive look with the pale hair. It’s better in real life–the photos create an airbrush effect that washes it out–but it needs work. If I perfect it I’ll work on some better pictures.
On rare occasions I splurge and order custom-tailored clothes from 
Day 10 is a special item of clothing. I don’t get all that attached to my clothes. This Nightmare Before Christmas scarf is the most special thing I could think of–I like the movie fine, but more than that I love Disney Halloween Time. I’ve only been twice–once for Mr. Robot’s and my anniversary and once last year with the kids, which is when I bought this scarf.
ht to use my room. Today they invented the extra special service of choosing an outfit for me. They went with a purple theme, as you can see. They also picked one of the skirts I wear the most. I don’t really wear leggings or tights on their own, and I own like four of these skirts to throw over them. They actually have huge pockets so they’re also great for times when I don’t want to carry a purse.
I bought this dress ages ago and have hardly worn it since. I bought it because I love the striped arms but it’s basically a tent dress (tent tunic? It’s pretty short.) and I don’t know why I ever thought that shape would work on me. It drifted to the back of my closet and stayed there until this morning. I stood there in my favorite leggings, totally uninspired by everything I had to go with them, when I realized my new obi belt might be just the thing to make my tent dress work. I bet I’ll be reaching for it a lot more often now because I love this combination.
