My Uniform

 HELLO gorgoeus!

Let's talk about the concept of a uniform and why I love it. As I've been redoing my wardrobe due to bodily changes, I like what I like. 

I am a 90s goth forever. I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE. I also like some specific shapes and outlines for clothes. And I use my knowledge of what shapes, what style of draping and what silhouttes I like to lead me to fashions I like. Lez go. We'l talk my cold weather uniform that I can be seen in most days it is under 50 degrees.

Leggings/tighter bottom, big ass hooded top or big ass tunic. I love to get in some asymetry, dramatic as fuck hem lines etc. As I've long joked my cold weather aesthetic is very much Main character, Anime grey guy, will give yo a side quest urban nazgul wizard.

The fuck does that mean? LEMME SHOW U. 

Let's go back.

The outfit (YES I had that shit archived boo) remains very close to my general casual cooler weather looks. I love a good bottom (HA don't we all), a cute sweater or sweatshirt and that's what I do.

This is my outfit from the other day:

The top came from my current fave goth brand Killstar. Honestly I was slow to jump on board the Killstar train, I picked up a couple of cheaper items from them years ago and was unimpressed until I thrifted some pieces and figured out the best way for me to shop with them.

Killstar is not cheap and some of their stuff isn't worth it. For me I buy a lot of tops there. I love the big oversized unisex hoody type, long type tops and dresses. I don't wear expensive base stuff like leggings, camis etc. I buy those on the low so I can splurge on a hot top I like. I also create wishlists and stalk sales.

Here's how I manage it. Yesterday I was wearing the Atmos pull over hoody. I picked it up at their super clearance for $15.00 since it wasn't an I can't live without it piece, I let it chill on my wishlist after the initial drop of that line and when I saw a price I liked YOINK. That's how I do it. Or I will save for a good piece. Not on sale I don't buy tees, tanks, undies, tights or leggings from them. I had a couple of pairs of full priced leggings from them and the quality just didn't justify the cost.

And below another variation on the uniform. Your uniform can make getting dressed, buying clothing and just feeling joyful in your ass covers way easier. 

I'm wearing the boots shown today and I'll have a full feature review of them up soon. 

Okay I love you byeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
