FASHION *turn to the left* FASHION *turn to the right*

I feel like this is a nice little thing to ramble about while I'm on my laptop and doing nothing else.
I've recently had a really good streak with all my outfits and what I've been wearing when I go out (with the bar exception of when I went to St. Leonard's because I was in slacks all week). So yeah here we go:

Outfit One: 

Okay this was actually for a costume-my friend had an 80s birthday party and I dressed up as my ultimate favourite 80s singer Cyndi Lauper. She always had these bright outfits that just appeal to me so much, not to mention they were very kooky as well! This dress is is from Dangerfield and while it worked really well for the Cyndi Lauper inspired costume, its got this very retro 50s look to it. If anything, the 50s, 80s and 90s are my favourite eras in terms of fashion (I'll explain later), so this dress can ultimately work for anything. Not to mention that it's so easy for me to dress it up or dress it down. And those shoes *cries* they are my favourite red high heels (from Wittners) but the only thing is they are a little bit unwearable now since I tripped down some stairs and completely tore off the suede!

Outfit Two:

LR: Emily, Andrea, myself, Maddie, Niki and Katie

This dress, as you've probably seen in one of my earlier text posts, was my year eleven formal dress. Like I said, the fashion of the 1950s is the most amazing thing ever, so this dress is very Marilyn Monroe. I did a very Marylin-esque look for my formal, so two years later I decided to change it up a little bit. I attempted to go for a bit of a mix between Dita Von Teese and Marina Diamandis. In a way too, it was a bit of  a reflection on my new outlook of myself and my changing attitudes to people and my environment.

Outfit Three

What grunge softener do you use?

                                   

This for me was probably one of the most dramatic outfits I've ever worn. Along with the shoes and the tights (which were mock-thigh high socks) I never thought in my wildest dreams I would sport an outfit like I did last night. The dress itself I feel is very Courtney Love. Courtney Love is definitely a fashion icon for me and I've been trying to emulate her style from a very young age (trash talk Courtney all you want, I still love her okay). It was this perfect mix of punk and kinda sweet at the same time with the style of the dress and also the bow in my hair (which you obviously can't see).

I think the main reason why I'm now all experimental with what I wear is that I've finally found some medium and fashion icons who I can emulate for whatever reasons based on anything from personality or these people's body shapes or who and what they represent. Just expect my outfits to get crazier and more out there from here on in!
