Shallow Fashion Details and other rambling

[cupcake_goth]

• pointy-toe flats w/ zippers across the top


• b&w stripy tights


• black ankle-length straight skirt made from some sort of stretchy material w/ alternating vertical lines of narrow gathered satin or black sparkly ribbon, with a 4" wide gathered satin ruffle at the hem


• white dress shirt w/ black tie and silver collar points that have tiny skull & crossbones on them


• black wool riding jacket w/ peplum


• hair pulled up under the top hat w/ feathers


• usual makeup

The other half of the GothyFashion HiveMind made me the straight skirt. I actually like how it looks on me. I'm NOT going to be giving up my hoops and petticoats, but now I have even more clothing choices. Wheee!

I know this is all shallow fashion burbling, but the fact that I feel comfortable wearing something that hints at the outline of my lower body in public is kind of a big deal for me. I'm still amazed that that body image demons haven't started muttering.



I stayed up late last night and finished the new Harry Potter book, because I'm a raving fan girl. I really liked it. I'm tempted to burble on about things, but will wait a few days until I know for sure that some other peeps have finished it.

I have no motivation to be a productive worker bee today, which is not good considering I have 217 topics to edit by the end of the week.

Sounds lovely!!! And yes, straight skirts mean more options -- which means more shopping, so that's a Good Thing, IMO ;-)
