happy spring nyc!!! it’s finally warm enough out where i can comfortably take pictures! i’ve been meaning to shoot this outfit for 20 years and i’m happy i finally got to. not the best pictures because my phone still sucks, but hoping to change that sooner than later

ANYWAY: i’d been jonesin for a pinstripe jumpsuit for a LONG time a la (kind of, mine is less tiddie-involved) this iconic gaultier/madonna moment. pinstripes are everywhere rn and i saw this on sale and snatched it up immediately. here are some similar ones! maybe i should have steamed it before throwing it on, oops

i’m also really inspired by aja - banjee babe from brooklyn!! she’s always turning SOME feather look and i eat it up every time. my jacket is obviously not feathers and it’s a bit old, but everytime i wear it i’m like, channeling aja (ps she was robbed)

tl;dr  is red lips, big jewelry, “fur”, perspex boots - what more could i want?

earrings: earrings plaza! they finally have a website

choker: aliexpress

jumpsuit: silence & noise at urban outfitters. i can’t really find it anywhere online, but like i mentioned - there are tons of similar ones everywhere now!

jacket: god i got this jacket in like 2012 for like $10 at a store in chinatown that closed down. BUT like the pinstripe jumpsuit, faux fur is EVERYWHERE - you just gotta find what you like!

shoes: my usual public desire shoes - altho i can’t find them anywhere on their site? did i kill this trend? why are they hard to find generally? anyway, here’s a close pair

hi yall! i know i’m continually the worst about actually taking/posting. this dressing room had great lighting so i was like ya sure (and hopefully pix of what i bought to soon follow!!). my neurotic ass also made a spreadsheet of all the lewx i wanna shoot so hopefully that’ll get my ass in gear, too! my brain has just kind of been elsewhere recently.

anyway, this was immediately after work, so this is one of my more ~casual~ looks. we had a meeting that day and altho i felt like garbage and in reality just wanted to throw on a tshirt i was like naw, you should probably actually get dressed. so this was the result - red on red on red! i tend to pair it with a red lipstick, too. recently i’ve been using a matte lipstick from inglot that a friend gave me - i think it might be the 401? i gotta check!

glasses: zenni! zenni has tons of super cute frames for super cheap. you can find mine here. they’re prescription n cost me like $40!! they’re replicas of the fendi orchidea sunglasses from their ss2015 collection

earrings: as always, these are my earrings plaza stainless steel hoops

shirt n blazer: thrifted!!

leather jacket: mango from like...3 years ago? i might replace it soon!

pants: they’re the same pants from this post - they’re from h&m and i love them

booties: steve madden! they’re the justify booties in red. the angle of the picture/the position of my feet doesn’t show you how cool they actually are. and they’re pretty comfortable, too!

hi yall!! happy new year!!

this was the dress i was PLANNING on wearing for new years but i felt so bloated and gross AND it was fuckin cold here so i was like, nah. also, sorry the pictures are bad - i got a new phone so the camera is a BIT better, but the lighting in my room is also garbage so idk. workin on it!

but yeah, i feel like if i can muster up the chutzpah 2018 is gunna be the year i have my tzdiddies out a lot. i’m excited to wear this dress when it warms up a bit and i can go somewhere where i won’t be leered at or spoken to by some creepy idiot. they’re just tzdiddies, yall

ANYWAY one of my resolutions for this year is to post on here once a week. i’ve been really awful about it but this is about documenting my style and how it changes over time as i change and come into myself over time, so it’s crucial that i do. so expect to be seeing more of me!!

earrings: you can’t really see em here, but regardless, they’re from earrings plaza iirc. they’re lil rhinestone squares with a small silver bauble hanging from the bottom

dress: aliexpress lol. it’s a sequence’d’d wrap dress kinda thing

belt: thrifted it 20000 years ago. it’s really cool bc one side is suede and the other side is a leather, so i can go for whatever look i want! as i gemini i live for that reversible shit

boots: i think i got them at the boltons on 34th street? they’re just black suedette boots, so you can get them just about anywhere. here’s a link

i wore this outfit last week and didn’t have a chance to get a good picture (i tried to take one during my lunch break but some asshole dude came up to me and asked me “if i wanted help”, just let me fucken live) so i finally shot it!

i was a bit on the fence about getting snakeskin boots - i tend to buy solid color shoes but these are soooo cute and comfy and they were on sale and giving me a 70s vibe so i was like okay, branch out a lil instead of just doing colorblocking 80s-inspired stuff

i love this jacket too!! when i first wore it, i was meeting up with some friends who were in town and was running late because my roommate at the time was in the bathroom. my friend asked me “did you need the bathroom so you could pick up the shower mat and wear it?” this was like 2 years ago and i’m still laughing about it

but yeah, just wanted to switch things up a lil, especially because on a day-to-day basis i tend to wear dark colors like the new yorker i am

jacket: it’s a guess jacket that i got at marshalls

shirt: uniqlo!! it’s really interesting - it’s a tshirt but it’s made of dress shirt material, so it lays differently and has a nice lil twist to it

pants: h&m (i think it’s these? i’m not sure, they have 10000 things that look exactly the same on their website)

shoes: i snagged mine on sale at rainbow (they were having a 25% off boots/booties sale!!) but you can grab em here

purse: last time i wore this purse out people were asking me if i was kate spade which is really funny because i got it on aliexpress. i can’t find the original one that i bought, but this one is pretty similar

i really really REALLY need to get better about posting on here frequently. maybe i’ll make it a 2018 resolution to post at least once a week? i have so much cute stuff that i wanna show off! part of it is that i need to get a better camera but ANYWAY

i took this picture back in july and slept on it. i think i mentioned it before, but my summer color was yellow (i never wound up wearing it much, unfortunately. i need to get better about wearing color!). i love this look cause i feel like a lil bumble bee with the black, yellow and white, and the lil flower! a lot of these pieces are also some of my favorites - i wear the SHIT outta those perspex boots and they’ve become a staple (maybe even signature!) look for me. they’re actually my second pair of these boots since i beat the shit outta the first ones from wearing them all the time. also s/o to the fact that this outfit is like, 50% rainbow and 50% aliexpress, i’m so goddamn cheap

from head 2 toe:

- sunglasses: aliexpress

- earrings: aliexpress

- shirt: rainbow!

- skirt: rainbow!! for like $7!

- bag: either ebay or aliexpress, i forget

- shooez: public desire, chloe booties

ayyy, finally got this skirt hemmed! i know i wear these shoes all the time, but they’re super hot so like can you blame me

it’s still too hot to wear this skirt out on a regular basis and i’m sad about it

hope u like my eatin good legs n tum (i’m still getting used to them)

can’t stop listening to this fucken song

i don’t have much to report on other than the fact that i look cute so w/e

sunglasses: aliexpress lol

earrings: earrings plaza??? i think?

necklace: rainbow!!

top & bralette: h&m and dollar store bc yall know how it is

skirt: thrifted!! i love this skirt sfm

[franfinefantasy-blog]

i decided my color for the summer is yellow, so i FINALLY picked up some yellow since i don’t have any. it’s not a color i’m ever used to wearing so it feels a bit funny, esp on my pale ass skin. but i think it works out okay if i mix it with other colors (i tend to colorblock). still workshopping it!

but ya, i also FINALLY found a plaid skirt, been looking for a skirt and/or blazer with this print and color scheme for like, years. goodwill, come thruuuu! i was very inspired by sasha’s pride outfit in ep11 - maybe it’s just both cause we’re bald n nerdy but i really enjoy her and the way she pieces together her outfits. this one was especially great because it was so simple and still really striking. i tried to do something similar, except i’m really anal about how i accessorize so all of accesories are the same color. i also really enjoy this outfit because it’s getting me to use pieces that i love but don’t use as frequently as i should

sunglasses: aliexpress earrings: this wholesale spot in midtown westish called new york style i think?? it’s a lil south of ktown bag: ebay like 5 years ago shirt: rainbow. yo i love rainbow sfm skirt: goodwill pay by the pound in lic shoes: amazon altho liliana (the manufacturer) has shoes in tons of stores too

things have been incredibly rough for me recently, for whatever multitude of reasons the stupid earth decides to throw at me. my relationship with femininity has always been a bizarre one, but it’s one that i tend to revisit when i’m in a place of uncertainty. i don’t want to call it a defense mechanism, because it isn’t - if anything i feel like it makes me more visible. there is power in actively making yourself visible when you wanna curl up like a rollie pollie bug and hide in the dirt. femininity is obviously not always visibility, but it is for me. there are some things i wonder if i’ll ever fully unpack. whatever.

earrings: just basic gold hoops, but i got mine from earrings plaza in ktown. i love that place i want to die in there

shirt: aliexpress lollllllll but you can get them like literally anywhere

skirt: thirfted!! my friend Sequoia (i’ll pop her link in here in a bit) found this skirt at the pay-by-the-pound goodwill. it’s a suede lord & taylor skirt from like the 80s/90s and i loooooooove it. my friends always find the best shit for me tbh

bag: also thrifted!! i saw at goodwill and was like UHMMM I NEED THIS. it’s super thin so it doesn’t hold much (but i’m also a bag lady) but it’s so pretty. you can kinda tell here - the rose is all cross-stitched with like, a bulky yarn so the details are really visible irl. it’s so cute

shoes: i think i got these on amazon? i got them for graduation to match my red dress (red is my power color). either way, they’re these but in red. they fucking hurt tho - the suede string just presses against your feet and leaves marks. but they’re hot so who cares

[franfinefantasy-blog]

this week/year has been unnecessarily bad, so this outfit has been in my brain for a bit and i finally just wore it the other day. i realized after i took these that i have a pair of cute antennas that would have gone PERFECTLY with my boots, but that’s okay. another time

you also can’t see it because i’m a sunglasses freak, but i did a blurple wing (i haven’t done wings in soooo long!) but mostly i just got my colourpop highlighter in the shade honeymoon and was ridiculously excited to put some blue shit on my face to complete the alien vibe. i swear i didn’t put any filters on the makeup picture, my front-facing camera was just very greasy and gross. anyway: MISS FAME WHO???

sunglasses: aliexpress bc i’m a shitty capitalist lol

earrings: ...aliexpress bc i’m a shitty capitalist lol. also i wear too much makeup to wear anything white, i dunno why i got these in white (altho i do have a pair in black and am ordering a pair in red soon)

shirt:.................................aliexpress. it’s a jeremy scott knockoff that i had been looking for for years and finally fucking found

skirt: okay so i’m actually so hype on this skirt. it’s a nicole miller skirt i found at goodwill for like $13, so it’s real leather. it looks a lil weird here because i let it airdry and it’s a lil crispy even when i try steaming it. just gunna have to wear it til it gets better i think. i was trying to replace my shitty faux leather skirt from h&m and then i finally found this and i was like oh FUCK yeah

shoes: i’m kinda obsessed with these boots. they’re a lil painful bc the glitter in the inseam rubs directly on your legs but like, they’re silver glitter boots so who cares

[franfinefantasy-blog]

i like...really love sunglasses? idk, they’re just effortlessly cool (not to be totally lame about it). i’m also kind of photosensitive so they’re obvs good for that too. the right pair just really brings together a look and can give you the right accent you need for your outfit. i have the pair in the first picture in red too and whenever my hair is red i coordinate my glasses to it. i think the devil is in the details with gettin dressed and sunglasses are a v important factor of that

ps the last picture is my cop cosplay

[franfinefantasy-blog]

been suuuuuper into plaid and mock necks lately. it kinda just makes me look 14 and angry at my mom. red is my power color tho and i’ve been tryna put myself in a better mood by wearing it

both these outfits are the same conceptually: plaid bottoms (both thrifted!!), mock necks (both the same shirt from uniqlo on sale, just different colors), red docs (also thrifted!!) and assessories. the earrings in the gif are actually these beaded cherry phone charms i turned into earrings, here’s a lil closeup! in the first picture i’m drunk in a dive bar and wearing hoops aka in my natural form. ‘leather’ jacket is from mango from like 200000 years ago but i love the shit outta it, i’m so glad it’s finally warm enough to be wearing just that

GET INTO THIS #DWAYNEJOHNSONDAYTIME GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG

[franfinefantasy-blog]

i was channeling my inner cookie monster wine mom the other day. i love the shit outta this jacket, it was one of my few impulse buys that i don't regret. it's guess i think??? i got it at marshall's so like, it was reasonably priced. my issue is that because it's an xl in order to fit the way i want it to, the pockets are so far down. a n y w a y. jeans are from aa, shirt is from old navy, boots are docs, i already told yall about the coat
