joining this group reminded me of something silly that happened today while i was working drive thru,,
this one customer had such sharp canines, so i asked if she got the body mod. (where you modify your teeth to look like vampire teeth, which i really want!!) i was surprised n kind of embarrassed when she said no they're her teeth, but that a lot of people comment on it! either way, she was super sweet n cool so i hope i didn't bother her >_<''
as a big fan of the anime NANA, i have a few pieces of merch: the strawberry glasses (birthday gift!), vol. 1-4 of the manga, and a cool t-shirt i got from an online pal. while these are all pretty cool, my favorite would have to be my first outfit for a punk show. the influence from Ai Yazawa's characters and her tastes in punk fashion were very obvious looking back.
the theme of the show was punk prom! since that night i've gone to another hardcore show with that theme, but this one will always hold a special place in my heart. a few weeks prior, i had graduated from highschool, and some friends who graduated the year prior invited me to this show out of town. we spent the day together, and i brought my boyfriend; what an awesome postgrad experience!
as for the breakdown of the outfit: ~ shirt was thrifted for my prom outfit (check out that post if you haven't :) ~ belt was from target ~ tie was thrifted for my halloween costume of patrick bateman (american psycho) & was used again for halloween costume of avril lavigne ~ pants were thrifted from thredup, thanks to a friend's recommendation! ~ docs were a great find on depop! half price and in pretty much new condition afaik
lastly, i wanna give a shoutout to my friend who was practicing photography and took a million photos of me. you're awesome. also, one of the bands that played was amazeballs, they are called kitty kitty meow meow, good luck to those gals!
bahahhaha i feel so bad i was about to post on here that i am enjoying my free time so much since i've been taking a legit gap year. only to see how many people are apprehensive of school starting-- good luck to you all !!!!
also the corset in my last post was from urban outfitters... it felt like a canon event for me. i have since resold it on depop, and i hope to one day find a corset as pretty, that actually fits me :,(
apologies for the wait, my partner's cat has been holding me hostage...
finally, the first official post of my fashion archive blog thingie!
my senior prom took place on 5.4.24.
it was pretty great. i enjoyed relaxing and dancing with friends, then chowing down later on at waffle house. this outfit represents my first time dressing conforming to my gender identity as an adult. it was a goal of mine to wear a suit for prom, which stemmed from a fleeting thought possibly during my freshman year.
i was responsible for a lot in my childhood, and finding and purchasing this outfit unfortunately wasn't an exception. so, although it didn't meet the elegant, colorful suits i compiled into an inspiration board on pinterest, it still made me feel safe and confident on an important day in my life.
my close friend at the time did my makeup for me, which was the first time I'd had it done; aside from childhood school plays. funnily enough, until we saw this picture our friend took, my boyfriend and i had no idea our ties made our outfits match :)
as i said in my previous post, the outfit was all thrifted. i still wear the shirt often, and as an enjoyer of punk, i mix up outfits with my small assortment of ties every once in a while.
i didn't look like a princess on my prom night, and i didn't look much like a prince either, but this outfit helped me celebrate myself. and, who knows? maybe i'll save looking like a prince for my wedding ;)
hallo everyone. my name's kale and i'm very stoked to join a platform like this. (reposting my intro here bc im a silly goose!)
i might not be super active and it will probably take me some time to customize my profile on my own, but before seeing the video about myquenq i was thinking about starting to post my outfits on pinterest just for fun. i calibrated and customized my boards for some years and have paid attention to other's fashion my whole life. now i feel proud enough to share the personal photos i would take to judge my look before heading out.
i think since i can't post photos using the blog, i might just use posts somewhere (here or my profile idk) every once in a while to drop old outfits and explain them a little. :3
so kewl, this is just what i was looking for! here goes nothing...
i will be going back in chronological order with these and my "posting schedule" will be whenever i hop on here lol.
from 05.02.24. this outfit is a bonus one. it's casual; iirc the theme was "y2k" for a day of my senior class's spirit week.
i bought these beloved jorts from a nearby Ross specifically for the theme. (the zipper sadly broke a month ago, so they are currently out of commission.) the rest of the outfit was mine, including an awesome Green Day shirt a friend found for me on a thrift shop outing and Jadon platform Docs I got brand-new at half price from Depop in August of '23. my birthday was a couple weeks prior, and the rei ayanami plushie was a gift from a friend. my phone case at the time was this rad NANA design from what i'm pretty sure was a Cookie magazine promo cover. my boyfriend gave me it (from Redbubble) for our first Christmas gift exchange.
i wonder what i would do to follow that theme with the wardrobe i have now...
some background for these posts is that i love to take mirror selfies, but when i moved to my first apartment, i only had access to my small bathroom mirror.
stay tuned for my next post which will be my prom outfit-- which was all thrifted and/or not a million dollars out of me n my parents' pockets! i am still very proud of that outfit.
