Hello friends! It has been a nice 3 months since I last posted... once again lol! Anyway I would hope that I'd manage to write a couple posts in the nearby future because I have many outfits I'd like to talk about in depth. Unfortunately your fave (me) is now a working adult and thus my unlimited free time has come to an end, and besides blogging I have lots of other hobbies I need to have time for like playing the guitar and the bass, drawing/other art (painting), writing fiction, daydreaming (taking naps)... but I've had this week off work and I have Monday and Tuesday off too so we'll see what I can create! But let's get into the actual topic which is the outfit I wore yesterday when I went shopping (thrifting) with my mom!
This outfit is quite new in a sense that this was the first time I got to wear it but in reality the whole outfit except for my shoes and a few accessories are second hand! The pants (heavily modified, which I will talk more about in a second), the coat and the dress shirt are all from a thrift store in my town and have cost less than 10€ in total, and the t-shirt, which is The GazettE t-shirt from I think 2007??, is from mercari!! Then from the million accessories that I am wearing, the ones that aren't thrifted/from my mom, including the belt and the spiked choker (which I should really replace like it's seriously falling apart), are from ebay.
Now the pants! I thrifted the suit they are a part of nearly four years ago thanks to my very casual interest (=obsession) in Ryan Ross (Panic! At The Disco's guitarist 2004 - 2009) (he liked to wear pinstripes), and I'm so glad I did because this suit has been one of the most worn things in my closet ever since. But recently I started thinking about modifying the pants (the jacket had been long since modified) to better suit my ever evolving style, and this week I finally did it. Modifications that aren't very visible are changing the button and cutting and sewing things around so that the button is visible like in jeans; lengthening the pockets so that my phone fits in them properly (because this is women's suit and so obviously the pockets are very small (I am currently planning to lengthen the pockets of the suit jacket as well)); adding belt loops (I stole the new button and these belt loops from an old pair of jeans (that were also thrifted)); and taking the pants in a bit so they'd be bootcut rather than loose. Other modifications which serve no other purpose but to look pretty is adding a bit of lacing over each of the pockets. The metal rings used for that are from an old chain necklace and the satin ribbon is left-over from another project. I'm planning to add some belt buckles and a zipper to the pant legs as well but we'll see if I'll actually do that.
(And here's the jacket... Wasn't my hair so so pretty here?? It matched my phone case.)
And because surely you are interested, I thrifted some cool things like a couple cds (Three Dollar Bill, Y'all - Limp Bizkit and Dark Light - HIM), a few movies (Scream, Scream 3, Minority Report (there's anime called Psycho-Pass and it is my favourite ever And it's heavily inspired by Minority Report) and Avatar (I really like Uruha of The GazettE, it's his favourite movie lmao)) and!! a pink cd player!! It is so so cute <3. And since it is almost Halloween I picked up yet another skull from the Halloween section at the grocery store... I have quite a few skulls lying around my room.
Thanks for reading and I hope I'll see you soon!!
