ESCAPING THE MATRIX

When they tease that you’re a conspiracy theory junkie but really you’re just a realist and don’t believe in proganda’d information. Just a well dressed existential weirdo.

🐲My Dragonbabyy @Depop Shop is now open! For all my babes on a budget, I've got thrift shop prices bc I really want to provide ethical second hand garms that won't break the bank. This has been a dream of mine for a min. I have let so many fears hold me back for tooooo long and I've just realized that I'm never gonna feel ready, I just have to do it. So I'm putting myself out there. Following another dream. Doin' my own thing, no apologies. I am insanely blessed to even be able to go after a life I'm passionate about. All I can be is grateful! Hope you'll visit my shop! 🙏🏼💕💸🦄 depop.com/ipopharr #dragonbabyy #depop #shop #onlinethriftshop #linkinbio (at Los Angeles, California)

BOB ROSS

I am rebelling against the summer in this all black look but it’s really angelic when you see the happy smiling face of the legend Bob Ross. If you don’t know Bob Ross you have to check him out on Netflix/YouTube because he is the most peaceful sweet man and he is a magnificent painter/artist. You basically watch him paint a masterpiece and it’s almost a meditative thing.

Now for my lil art piece aka my outfit, I layered this oversized T-shirt over a fishnet crop top. I’ve had this little fishnet thing for years but haven’t been able to style becos I was waiting on someone to return it me. I finally got it back and I’ve been wearing it non stop. It feels kinda like new again and the fishnet fabric as well as layering are def on trend right now.

I love the different textures that you can mix when layering and the fishnet makes for a breathable longsleeve to wear under a tee or even a sleeveless dress. I love wearing a long sleeved garment when I’m showing a lot of leg, I think it creates a nice balance for any look. I paired the whole thing with these amazing boots that I got on eBay! They were a major bargain and they are the best boots ever. My newest obsession. I love a few inches because I’m a shorty but the platform makes this heel so comfortable and tbh the most perfect festival boot. (I am planning a festival lookbook post so I’ll def add my festival essentials in there too!).

+ three necklaces and my newest fave fatty tattoo choker + baby hoops and my glitter jelly backpack because obviously, tomboy glam.

BODY CON X BODY POSITIVE This dress only makes an appearance on days when I'm really feelin myself. I've been on the up and up as of the last few days so yay for consistent posts!!! I don't always do body con dresses but when I do - I do it up extra with zebra and some boobage. I always pair a form fitted outfit with an oversized jacket because I'm not 100% conformtable with all my lady lumps being all the way out there. Lol. This light washed denim jacket is the perfect length and over-size to pair with dresses. I threw on this blingy choker to add some sparkle and paired the whole look with the chilliest adidas to bring it on home to tomboy glam. ***Pair with black heels/platforms + and handbag for a night time look!*** Super simple and just a lil bit sexy!

ZETUS LAPETUS, THIS EARTH IS HARD I'm finally back with a look and I'm feeling like Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century! I've been going thru it lately, and I'm still not feeling like myself tbh, but I'm on a mission to focus my energy. When feeling blue, I wear a lot of black so I really wanted to bring a sweet color into the mix. I thrifted this pair of pink silk trousers almost a year ago and I think they are the epitome of tom boy glam! Sporty, relaxed, girly and glam all at the same time. Silk is a super trendy fabric ATM, and they double as pjs so I definitely get my $3 worth! I'll never be over this sheer top because it's a super versatile piece that can be worn so many ways! It's a lil sexy because both fabrics are so delicate but the look has a sporty silhouette. I am currently obsessed with this choker! I have been searching for a fatty tattoo choker for months and I couldn't believe I found it at H&M. Disclaimer: I no longer shop/support fast fashion but fast fashion supports ya girl naw mean? (🤑lol jk) my friend got me a gift card for my bday and it was just so sweet that I went shopping guurrrl. I personally just love thrifting and if you do shop fast fashion that's cool too, I am no one to judge, you do you. I did me and added my trusty busted boots that I always wear 🙄(dr martens sponsor me) and I'm now ready for a spacewalk + this amazing glitter af jelly backpack for extra boy glam because I'm obviously a supernova girl👽 follow my insta: @ipopharr Top: H&M (Gift) Silk Pants: thrifted Boots: Paris Fashion District Jelly Backpack: LA Fashion District Tattoo Choker: H&M Watch: Daiso Bralette: Walmart TOTAL LOOK >$70

I'm so fucking done with people judging each other. Wear what you wanna wear, do what makes you happy and STOP listening to the voice of "society". Who gives a fuck what people think, what do you think? What do you like? What do you want? The golden rule, DO NO HARM, BUT TAKE NO SHIT. Stop judging each other. Stop trying to make others fit into your tiny little perfect box. Others DO NOT exist for you. They are here on their own journey to discover themselves. Live and let live. I can't take the judgement, the separation and the hate anymore. If you have nothing nice to say, just don't fucking say it!

[dragonbabyy]

DRAGONS BABYY

This is my favorite shirt in the whole wide world! I got it for $5 at Walmart and I had to scoop it up because Dragonbabyy duh!!

I was born in 1988, the year of the dragon in the Chinese Zodiac. Yes I’m actually part Chinese and yes I’m 29, but I still get carded when buying rated R movies 🙃. I’ve always felt really connected to this mythical creature, I think because I tend to be a loner and love hanging with myself. I’m shy but I can also be fiery and a lil crazy. Cute but psycho. I’m a fucking balancing act. Five years ago I even wrote a song about a guy cheating on me and how he unleashed the dragon and it’s pretty dark. Let’s just call it cute but psycho…

I layered this mega oversized tee over a cropped hoodie to give the look a lil something extra. It’s like accessorising with layers. Threw on my fishnets and paired the whole look with my Nike Air Force Ones. Chokers, a necklace and some babyy hoops for jewelry for that tomboy glam I can’t get enough of. Issa look!

CRAZY SEXY COOL I always wanted to be a member of TLC🎶 and I've been feeling super musical as of late so why not channel my fave childhood girl group and feel swaggy af. I actually didn't get to posting any looks last week because I was prepping for a gig with my band Lowtops (👽🙌🏽shameless promo @lowtopsmusic check eet out !) 🚀 We've been having some colder days in LA this week so I got to bring back some warmer garms. The cropped hoodie and high waisted mom jeans is a perfect tom boy glam combo. It's sporty but still shows a lil midriff and some curves. I threw on a fatty chain choker and some hoops just to add a lil more glam. Paired the whole thing with my Dr. Martens lookalikes and this pleather fanny pack to top the look off with a boyish touch. Yellow socks becos extra and pig tails becos cute and lip gloss is poppin! Tough Cutie. Cute but psycho. You know me. I'm a weird one. 💋🙃 follow me on insta if you're weird too (@ipopharr) Hoodie: Dad won it for me at a random xmas party years ago feels like forever ago.

CHEETAH GIRL, CHEETAH SISTER

Taking the tomboy glam to new heights with this one! A good cheetah print has always been a favorite of mine and I remember as a kid, my mama, aunty and grandma were always wearing animal prints and wild outfits and this shirt dress reminds me of all those days spent playing dress up when I was a little girl. That is definitely where my love of fashion comes from.

I thrifted this shirt dress a while back, you could go a few years back and find me wearing it on my insta feed.. Yaas I’m an outfit repeater, but I did the tomboy glam a lil different back then. I keep my favorite pieces forever because they are like lil gems and this one is vintage so I’ll never give it up.

I paired the look with this cheetah choker I made from a silk ribbon because I like to match and clash and make it work. + denim jacket because the LA weather can’t decide if it’s still winter or spring. + the printed purse because I’m extra like that & the cut out boots to bring the tomboy glam together. Another favorite look for the books 🖤

MUCH PUNK ROCK

Giving you Gwen Stefani x Kurt Cobain x Scary Spice x Me. It’s a look. I always love mixing soft and hard pieces and the tomboy glam never ends.

I have honestly had this pair of plaid pants for so long I don’t even remember where I got them. Paired with this chunky sweater I found at a $1 thrift sale because the blue tones in the pants bring the two pieces together. Threw on my oversized dark wash denim jacket for more warmth and more punk rock. Went with some space buns and chunky boots to add some cute and my belt choker to bring it all home.

TOMBOY GLAMGIRL

This is my favorite look to date, I don’t know how we found this amazing ally but I am so thankful and obsessed with how this spread came out.

I’m finally featuring these lace up thigh high boots that I got for xmas. I have been wearing them so much, even when I shouldn’t, like when it’s at a rainy and muddy music festival or it’s Wednesday morning and I’m working postmates🙃… sometimes I just like to dress up for no reason at all. The hoodie is instant tomboy paired with the girly tights and boots. + the purse, choker and hoops bring the tomboy glamgirl styles together. I love how it all works in a weird way and lets me feel boyish & badass & girly & sexy all at the same time.

ATTITUDE

Another low key and super basic look that I threw together in about 3 minutes. If you follow my blog you already know that an all black look is my go to “when in doubt wear”. It’s slimming, goes with just about everything and it gives you instant attitude. It’s always a look.

I paired this simple black t shirt dress with some fishnet tights and I love how the boyish silhouette contrasts so perfectly with these sexy like stockings. Boots because attitude and this bougie back pack to bring more tomboy glam + gold/red hoops and my DIY belt choker for even more of that tomboy glamour cause it’s my jam!

GROOVY BABYY

I’ve been a thrifter/bargain shopper since I was a kid, but when I moved to LA in 2010 I spent more money on fashion and would occasionally splurge on name brand/designer stuff. My closet now consists of high end, low end, tacky and classy pieces and I think that’s why this look exists.

I wanted to style a look using pieces that I’ve had in my wardrobe for years and I really dig the 70s feels of this outfit. Now, it’s no secret, oversized pieces don’t really flatter my figure but I wear what I want and play by my own rules because it makes me feel good🤘🏽😎. (#selfcare) I find that when I honor my authentic self, forget the “fashion rules” and the judgements of others I can be more creative and my personal style constantly evolves!!! I don’t subscribe to any one genre and I hope you too feel free to try out different styles. Never say never!

Paired this silk button down with some corduroy bell bottoms for that effortless 70s chic feel. platforms to be extra. +layered necklaces, statement earrings and a swanky purse to keep it chic.

BOY MEETS WORLD

This shirt just reminds me of a shirt Cory and Shawn might have worn back in the day. Bringing more tom boy glam because I can’t stop and I managed to style velvet on velvet again! I’m a weird one 🖖🏽👽

This oversized velvet polo sweater is my dads. I layered it over this turtle neck sweater ( yess ANOTHER turtleneck ) because sometimes it’s cold in LA. These velvet pants are super comfy and super warm and always pair perfectly with my vans. I wanted to be extra with my hair because the whole look is super relaxed so I clipped my bangs down with too many silver clips that I found at the 99cents only store. Add some hoops and it’s such a look.

MELLOW

I get so mellow on cloudy/rainy days and nothing is more low key and cozy than overalls. These are my favorite pair and I got them a couple years ago in Paris, France. Overalls usually come with a ton of pockets so no need for a bag. We are going for a mega minimalist look.

I love pairing overalls with a turtleneck because it’s an instant look that allows both pieces to stand out. The contrast of the yellow and black colors brings more life and dimension to this super basic outfit. Hoops or statement earrings can glam up the conservative style of a turtleneck and add a girly touch to the boyish silhouette of these overalls. + white adidas for a clean swaggy feel to bring the look home!
