New Winter Beauties

I've tossed a couple more collages together, there themes seeming to be winter and fall. Its at the tail end of summer, but rain has started so my thoughts are already in cooler weather.  Where jeans don't mean smothering death, dresses get shorter with leggings and tights, boots are expected, and jackets can finally be enjoyed.  I have a difficult time in the cold winter months, when no matter what I wear the bone-chilling temperatures destroy my body and wrack me with nerve pains I can't escape.  I adore fall though.  I would enjoy winter a lot more if I didn't have my various health problems.  But still, even though its torture in those months, I am usually determined to look good (at least when I go out) so I'm always looking for warm, fashionable, layering options. Its a lot easier when an event is indoors. Outdoors, I'm most likely to skip it altogether, because theres no fashionable option to keep me warm enough for surviving that. Having to bus everywhere is also an issue. I have to get through those hours of travel in the elements without feeling so miserable by the time I arrive that I just want to go home.  And of course, being bundled up in the cold and walking for hours, then coming into a warm cozy indoors...you end up sweating immediately and ruining your hair and makeup! Ha. No winning. Thats why getting rides is amazing.  Or when Gabe drove....*wistful sigh*

Anyway, these outfits are for that in-between weather, not too hot, not too cold, sometime in autumn maybe.  Enjoy...

3 AM Collaging

My brain...hurts....


I stayed up to finish this......so here it is.

Yay summertime!   Goodnight now.

Mad Pinning Results

So, the past few days I've been pinning on Pinterest like a madwoman, and most of it clothes. The main theme behind the clothes I've been pinning is BADASS. So, lost of black, lots of leather, lots of amazingness.  I had hit a treasure trove or two of some stranger's boards and found some post-apocalyptic themes that had some amazing finds.  Normal everyday clothes mixed in with high fashion and fantasy.  Gotta say, I pinned nearly everything.  That mad pinning frenzy gave me a lot of fodder for my collage making, so tonight I tossed two outfits together using at least one item or more from my new collection of finds.  These aren't post-apocalyptic, just a bit awesome. There will always be that side of me that just wants to bathe in black and leather and feel like a million bucks and comfortable at the same time.  Black is my 'comfort-color'. Also my confidence color, so hey, how about that.  Good damn combo.  The second one I did had some high heels that I paired with it - which as I've mentioned, I cannot really wear high heels due to my medical condition and the pain they cause. But if I ever COULD wear heels, or if I ever dared it, I have some options there.  The outfit just didn't seem right without long slimming and badass heels. I imagined it being for a night-out, concert or party type deal. ANYWAY> Here they are.  (also I tagged one at the end that I did a little while ago, but forgot to post)

Latest Greatest

SO In honor of the crazy heatwave going across the country, kicking off a sweaty summer, I wanted to post a recent "summer outfit" collage I made.  Its dear to my heart. I adore this one.  Makes me happy happy happy.

So happy summer!! :)

Maroon and Moonlight

Out on adventures on a cool spring or fall night? Need a little femininity in your badassery? Want to slog through puddles but keep some sex appeal? Then maybe an outfit like this would suit you. I love the leather, the maroon, the dress that shows off feminine shape and the leather wellies and snood to keep you dry and warm.  I think its called a snood.  Strangest word for an item of clothing I've heard yet. Just sayin.  WELL here it is. My newest little outfit.

Black Goes Best with More Black

I've always been a fan of all-black outfits. And this one is my favorite I've made so far.  One thing that I think makes all-black outfits more dynamic is patterns like lace, crochet, stripes, whatever you can find. Mixing sheers with solids.  And of course - some metallic jewelry. I chose silver for this one. I like to pair silver with blacks and greys and golds and bronzes with earth tones and colors.  Buts its not an absolute, just a general preference of mine.  SO, obviously theres a bit of silver in this one.  God I love this one. The hat, the shall, the tights, the drapey dress. LOVE IT.

Black and Leather, Please

I've been dying for some badass black and leather. If I had a choice, I'd probably wear that most of my life. But, alas, its an expensive look. Also, not always comfortable. But I tried to do this in a more suitable way for me - sexy and yet still comfortable. A loose tunic type top, leggings with leather and lace detail - lots of stretch and comfort but lots of edge and a touch of femininity. The boots are a boot point - any black leather boot would look great with this.  I also went for a slightly drapey look with the jacket so it meshes well with the top/tunic.  I love this outfit. I would wear this any day.
