Fables in Fashion

Aren’t my title just the most original!? *cue innocent look*

I have an obsession for ankle boots lately, I wanted to give this otherwise soft and girly outfit a slight edge with rocker like boots. Jacket from Forever 21, Dress from Temt & Boots from Myer (maybe?). The dress is a bit big for me, so I’ll probably have to take it in a bit before I wear it again (I used safety pins this time, a cosplayer’s best friend!)

My bracelet is one of my favourites, I had it made up for me at Sanrio Land in Japan earlier this year, it spells my gamer tag: eXmotion Gamer 4 life!

I know I’m not actually in any snow, but this outfit just makes me feel like a snow bunny! How ironic too since today is the first day of Spring!

Shoes and sunglasses are my favourite aspects of this outfit, the shoes were about $35-40AU and the sunglasses were $8AU! I do love me some great steals!

I’ve noticed a bit of a trend in my wardrobe, I tend to stick to solid colours, avoiding patterns etc. And I’ve figured out why.

These same items of clothing can be easily incorporated into corporate wear, which up until recently has always been my “bread and butter” 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year for the last 3 years.

In other words, they are versatile!

I say recently because a week ago I was assigned a dream client (fashion industry), where everyday is “casual” clothes, oh the many outfits I will finally be able to explore! If only I could take photos of myself at work, without you know, getting awkward stares!

That’s besides the point, when I go shopping for hardware supplies for cosplay, and food for the rest of the week I try and dress as casually and as chic as possible! Too bad none of the photos really show you the aqua colour on my lower eyelash line
