Outfit Post: Hardcore Pearls and High Anxiety

Today was the first Wednesday that I didn’t have to go to therapy in a couple months. I was diagnosed with High Anxiety and Depression. It’s something I’ve been living with for years but this year it’s really been hitting me hard (I don’t really express this much with you). But working on an outfit post always brightens my mood just that little bit extra.

Blouse: Thrifted | Shorts: Nasty Gal | Vest: Boohoo | Necklace: Mums | Shoes: Free People

Coen took these pictures. Hence, the last picture when he asked me to “look like Godzilla.” I’m so ferocious, aren’t I? A five-foot-two Goth Godzilla is what real nightmares are all about!

This outfit I wanted to mix some hardcore-ish elements with the false-Pearl necklace. Putting interesting outfits together has always been something that brightens my mood. Whenever I have an exam I would rag-curl my hair the night before or spend extra-time on my make up in the morning. My motto in high school was always “If you look good, you’ll feel better.” It was all about confidence building.

That’s partly why lately I’ve been adding so much leopard print to my wardrobe – have you noticed? It’s something that always boots my confidence and automatically makes me feel bad-ass. Do you think that what you wear affects how you feel? What makes you feel powerful?

Rocky Horror Picture Show: Outfit

My friends and I recently went to a special screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in my town with champagne, live music and costume contests. Unfortunately I didn’t dress up and it was definitely an experience feeling dressed down for once! I had to run some errands in town beforehand and couldn’t exactly walk around in not much more than an under-bust corset, bra and thigh high fishnets, could I? Well, I could but I don’t really want to be assaulted.

Anyway! Enough with seriousness and on with the outfit!

I wore the lovely earings that I won, among other things, in an outfit contest of the Goth and More Blogging community hosted by Sara (her blog is here). I never ended up blogging about it, though. I fell in love with these earrings – they are so adorable! And they fit perfectly with the adorable bracelet my mum bought me second-hand.

I’ve been experimenting with blush.

The mentioned earrings! ❤

I feel like I haven’t worn stripped stockings in so long.

Adorable bracelet.

I think the bracelet was once a very young girls – because my wrists are tiny. They’re only five and a half inches. I’m not sure whether that’s considered small, but I do. :3

Derpy photo.

Outfit:

Blouse: Thrifted. I love it because it’s actually sheer stripes! I really don’t feel comfortable in that kind of neckline though, v-necks are not my thing.
Singlet: Supre.
Skirt: Thrifted, originally ankle length and currently horribly hemmed.
Stockings: Second-hand.
Fishnets: K-mart.
Shoes: Doc Martens.
Bracelet: Second-hand.

Well, that’s about it. It was a great night and my friends looked great! There were some wellllll dressed people!

Best wishes,
