Late 60's?

Hey all, sorry I didn't post last week. I was out of town.

Suggested by: Tori suggested I do eras

In this outfit:

• Green mini dress belonging to Tori. It will be up for sale soon, I believe. She will be selling it online.
• Tights from Tori as well. She apparently never wore them, so I inherited them.

My thoughts:

• It's quite short...
• I was kinda uncomfortable lifting boxes over my head at work...
• Otherwise it was pretty comfy.
• I have no idea if this was even 60's ish. What did the 60's look like?

The response:

• There were quite a few guesses as to what I was. 
• My boss guessed 50's country club. 
• A lady from the office upstairs said 60's go go girl (good guess! although originally she just thought it was because of the Seahawks). 
• Multiple guys from the office said I reminded them of Scooby Doo.
• Coworker V was not impressed (but he's never impressed, so oh well).
• A guy upstairs said he thought I was a leprechaun until he saw the tights, then he thought Peter Pan.
• A friend on Facebook said retro Peter Pan as well
• One person said I looked like a giant neon shamrock.
• The lady down the hall loved the tights.

New Haircut

Sorry for the lack of posts, guys. I both have a horrible memory, and no self discipline whatsoever.

This item from my wardrobe isn't really something from my wardrobe. Well, it sorta is. My hair counts, right?

I cut my hair recently.

I went in for a trim, and then got to talking hairstyles with my grandma, and everything just kinda snowballed. It's pretty short now! I was lucky enough to be able to donate to locks of love as well, which takes hair (it must be at least a certain length) and makes wigs for people going through chemo.

It took some getting used to, and I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it has grown on me. Probably literally, I guess. It is hair, after all.

Besides, now I can look like Snow White if I want to.

Steampunk

Suggested by: Miriam

In this outfit:

• Black boots from Goodwill (they are a little too big, but I got them for a costume a while back).
• The brown vest is reversible, and I got it at a yard sale.
• The white shirt I got in the men's section of a department store.
• The hat I got from Amazon.com
• The goggles are actually two solo cups and a whole bunch of other random materials that my brother put together. The goggles actually belong to him.
• The armband belongs to my brother as well. He wore a steampunk outfit he made to Emerald City Comic Con.
• I'm pretty sure I got the tie from my friend Amber, but I'm not positive.

My thoughts:

• Nice and comfy.
• These pants are a little to small.
• The boots are slightly too big.
• Ok. It's fairly comfy.
• I like the way it looks, but I put this together so last minute, I wish I could have added more steampunk elements.

The response:

• Coworker G was very confused about what my style was. He asked me if my outfit was from something.
• Yet another coworker commented that my wardrobe must be enormous. I think this is the third person to say this.
• Coworker C said he really liked the goggles.
• Coworker V: "You remind me of Inspector Gadget"

1950s (Poodle Skirt)

Eras Suggested by: Tori

In this outfit:

• Poodle skirt from my grandmother. My aunt's mother made it for her, but it never fit her, so I ended up with it.
• I got the crenelin (underskirt) from an antique shop, and then my mom kinda remade part of it for me.
• My mom made the shirt.
• The belt belonged to my mom.
• The shoes, socks and scarf all belong to my mom. She let me borrow them.

My thoughts:

• I really like circle skirts. They make my waist look so small, and they make it fun to spin around.
• Bright red lipstick is fantastic, and now everyone definitely knows which mug I used last Friday.
• It's a fun outfit :)

The response:

• Coworker G: "Cute!"
• Coworker M: "You're going to need a walk in closet someday"
• Coworker SK: "You've even got the shoes!" *starts pretending to dance*
• Coworker SK after a little bit: "Laverne and Shirley!" *discussion starts over which one I look like. I'm completely confused because I have never met either of these people*
• The food guy (who does theater) was so excited about the poodle shirt.
• From the department down the hall that loves this style challenge I'm doing- "You're like Halloween every Friday!"

Gothic

Suggested by: Coworker S

In this outfit:

• Lace shirt from a thrift store
• Floor-length dress from a thrift store
• Belt from my mom
• Knee-high boots from a thrift store
• Lots o' makeup

My thoughts:

• I love the gothic style in general, it's a bit like "I'm a vampire"
• This was fairly comfy
• the eyeliner I own sucks!
• my makeup was pretty awesome though, I did a gradient on my lips :)
• I would like to own a black corset.

The response:

• The department that loves all the outfits loved this one as well. They were also very interested in how I did my lipstick.
• Coworker G kept saying the name of a character that I looked like whenever he walked past me.
• Coworker C said "Very Gothic! Very... Anti-Elsa." and also "You know who you remind me of? Wednesday Addams."
• Coworker S and I had a good laugh imagining me driving around in my sparkly blue Honda Fit with the Gothic getup on.

This week my style inspiration is Noel Fielding. Liz suggested
I do an obsession post about him as last week I watched non stop his comedy shows, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, a few episodes of The Mighty Boosh, and his comedy show Noel Fielding Luxury Comedy. To be honest these are in order from least weird and crazy seeming to most crazy. I also found a cool dressup game of him on deviantart while I was looking for photos so I thought I would link it here for you to also enjoy!

Dressup Noel Fielding Here!

I love his style because he can go from cool nice simple to absolutely crazy. He often varies between women's and men's clothing and everything he wears is magnificent. To be honest there is a ton I could say about him but a picture is worth a thousand words, and I've been looking for pictures all week for him. so here are a few for you to enjoy.

Style: 1940's (Mens)

Suggested by: Tori suggested I do eras.

In this outfit:

• Pants from the men's section of a thrift store. I actually got them for a costume I did for Emerald City Comicon.
• White button down shirt. Bought in the men's section from a normal clothing store.
• Goldenrod suspenders tat Tori found for me at a thrift store.
• An old man tie that I found at a thrift store. It's one of a few that I will actually be sending to a friend because he complained when I sent him a clip on (long story)... hopefully he doesn't read this...
• A binder (binds your chest to make it flat, and makes it easier to wear suspenders in my opinion).
• Fedora (Trilby, actually, but I don't own an actual fedora sadly).
• Coat from an estate sale.

My thoughts:

• These pants are super comfy, and also slightly too big. It's a good thing I'm wearing suspenders!
• This tie has grown on me, it's just funky enough.
• This is very similar to my normal style, with the suspenders and a tie. I dress pretty masculinely quite often.
• I would like to own a wide brimmed fedora someday.

The response:  

• One coworker thought I was a Spy, another thought I was a professor.
• My dad said I looked like a hit-man, and suggested I take my lunch to work in a violin case.
• My dad also suggested I get a hobby.
• And made a joke about my gender.
• Thanks dad.
• A lady from a different department in my building asked where I got the pants, and if I did the hemming on them myself. She seemed to really like the outfit.
• An elderly lady from church said I dress up nice :)
• My grandma did not like this style. (Ah well, you can't win them all)
