Valentine's Outfit!

I know it's a little late, but yeah... I love my knee-high socks ^.^

 thanks to the weird light, it's not really noticeable, but I had on my wide red fishnets under my stockings and various other red accents... I must find a better place for pictures >.<

 not a lot of makeup, as per usual when I planned to look nice, I got up late >.< why brain, why?

 kind of plain, but I think it was pretty cute :)

"New" Shoes!

So I have an old pair of converse. My mother insists on buying me a new pair because she thinks the old ones are "worn down" (maybe a little, I think, but not enough to warrant throwing them away) so this leaves me with a dilemma. I have two nearly identical pairs of shoes. Well, not anymore! I have doodled all over the old converse (I may have gotten a little carried away with the hearts on the sides) and here we have...
NEW SHOES
with only an hour or so of effort and no money spent. Victory is mine.



 I like the cupcakes :3 I'm really seriously considering going a little more Lolita... some things are just too adorable to not wear around on a daily basis! (like cupcakes)
does anyone have a simple DIY or revamp they'd like to share or post a link to?
Have a wonderful weekend and happy President's Day for all the USA folk!

Picspam!

 so I made my hair be all Robert Smith for a bit :3 but then it deflated...


 Sorry about the weird light in these, my bathroom mirror is the best one for pictures but the light in there is... strange. To say the least.


 and now I'm going to 4H! What I wore to school was better, but there's a different dress code for 4H.... *sigh* but, pigtails!! I haven't had pigtails in forever...
anyway, I hope you're having a fantastic day!

Absentia...

I know I'm an inconsistent blogger on my best days, but I have recently come down with some horribly painful thing that the doctors THINK is strep throat, so I will very likely not be blogging for a time, as the computer screen hurts my eyes... I am sorry for the absence, but at least I know it's going to happen this time.

I leave you with these assorted things from the Internets:

Briefly...

I would like to take a mere moment of your time to express annoyance at something:
many of the prettiest corsets are fashion corsets, and thus not steel-boned and largely useless.
Complain!!



I mean, look how pretty this is!! Just fashion. And it is one of many beautiful, useless things... sadness

My personal style: a rant

I am becoming somewhat frustrated with my style, as it seems like everything I want to wear is too time consuming for school (or would just be too inconvenient throughout the day) and everything I own is either small pieces of whimsy that don't particularly fit together or, sort of... babybat. Yes, yes, I'm sixteen, I am still a babybat, but my wardrobe staples are fast becoming an Airship tank top and skirts from Hot Topic.

while theoretically this is the perfect style for the life I have now, it seems too... not understated, but a descriptor similar to understated.
With any luck I'll be off to college a year early, and I don't want to show up in a big, diverse city as the smalltown babybat whose wardrobe doesn't quite work.
Therefore, new resolution- I shall tie my clothing together. Get rid of things I don't like and/or won't wear, and buy some good sturdy staple pieces.
I would like to have long Victorian skirts and corsets for daily wear, some more casual things like tanktops, pants and skirts (with boots or heels) for miscellaneous occasions when Victorian is inappropriate but normal fancy dress is not required, and some clubwear. Short skirts, fishnet shirts... Cyberlox. Yes, I'd love to go there.
And perhaps a gothic Lolita dress :3 even though I'm 5'8" and not a tiny girl in any way. Lolita looks a little off on me, but I like it... Maybe as a graduation present I'll get myself one proper Loli dress *considers....*

By the way, the little doggie peeking out from behind my legs is Arnette, the Guide Dog for the Blind I am training. She's just over a year old and an absolute darling.

New Years

Happy it.


I have but one resolution: remember to write 2013 rather than 2012 on my homework and other date-able things.

That is all.
