Toxic Cats

On this day I wore a striped t-shirt under a black dress printed with a cat face, along with a neon green belt, skull-print stockings, and a vintage army jacket. My lipstick was home-made from crayons, using this recipe on Rookie. I combined half of a regular green crayon and half of a lighter yellow-green one and I love how the color turned out.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Love,
Chloe

Rainbows On Acid

Skipping over multiple hair colors and every outfit I've worn for the past month, this is what I wore today. I've been busy every weekend with various theater productions, and haven't been very good about posting. I plan to post my stored up pictures this weekend, but I just really wanted to go through the ones that I just took. I redyed my hair a few days ago, bleaching it for the first time since April or May, and now it's bright neon green. It has streaks of orange, pink, and teal, and I like to describe it as an "Acid Trip Rainbow."
I wore my apple dress again, once more with safety pins in the collar, although this time they're placed differently, and ripped tights. I doodled anarchy symbols on the tights in green sharpie, and it left cool markings all over my legs when I changed. I have also been wearing this belt a lot lately, as it perfectly matches my hair. It's a neon green, translucent and glittery plastic belt. It's my favorite.
I hope you have a very metal day,
Love,
Chloe

Slightly Singed Crowns

At least a dozen people on Friday asked me if it was my birthday. This happens petty much every time I wear a crown to school, even when they're burned and partially melted. I kept beginning to ask who wears melted crowns on their birthday before I'd remember that I had actually melted this crown specifically to wear on my birthday this summer (I had a zombie-themed party).
Along with my crown, I wore a turquoise dress, a leather jacket with my feminism pin, fishnets, and my docs.

Dress and Jacket: Forever 21
Tights: K-mart
Shoes: (knock off) Doc Martins

I hope you have a lovely day!

Punk Rock Dinosaur

When I wore this outfit, a very large number of people commented that I looked like a dinosaur. Personally, I took that as a complement, especially when it was given as "You look like a punk rock dinosaur," which it sometimes was.
I achieved the look by crafting a mohawk of buns in my hair, teasing my bangs and the few strands that were left, and using a ton of hairspray. I wore a self-painted and cut up shirt to which I added a few safety pins around the hem, a black lace dress worn as a skirt, striped tights, docs, my pin-covered jacket, and a studded collar that I got at a flea market for a dollar.
Outfit Details:
Shirt: DIY
Skirt: I'm not sure
Jacket: Thrift store (the pins were added)
Tights: Leg Avenue
Shoes: Doc Martens
Collar: Flea Market
I hope you have a good day!

That's So Punk Rock

This outfit started out a week of sort of punk-inspired outfits. On this day, I wore a vintage-style dress with a peter pan collar that I filled with safety pins. I also wore a studded belt, ripped black tights, and my black docs.

Shoes: (knock off) Doc Martens
I hope you have a splendid day!

Spiderwebs

I really loved the lighting in these pictures. It turned out really cool and so that was awesome. I wore another hand-me-down dress under a striped button-down with these really amazing purple glitter spiderweb tights that I got at Micheals and cut into stockings. They matched the spiderweb ribbon that I tied into a bow and pinned in my hair.

Dress: I'm not sure
Shirt: Forever 21

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Style Inspiration: Abby Normal

This outfit was inspired by Abby Normal, of the book "Bite Me: A Love Story," by Christopher Moore. The book is the third in his series "Bloodsucking Fiends," of which I read the first two only recently. Abby Normal is one of the best characters ever, though. She's super bad ass and fights vampires while wearing fabulous outfits and tells people "You rock my stripy socks," and also is my spirit animal.
'Kayso, if you haven't read the series before, it's about Jody, who becomes a vampire in the first book, and C. Thomas Flood whom she meets then and turns into a vampire in the second. In that book, they meet Abby, who they hire to assist them in buying apartments and things since they can't go out during the day. The last book, which I read first, is mainly from her point of view, as San Fransisco (the setting of the series) is being taken over by vampire cats.
There are all of these awesome characters though, like Jared, her best friend who was with her when she met Flood and Jody while buying allergenic eyeliner at the drug store. He borrows her thigh-high red boots and then argues with another character about whether it was Buddah or Morrissey who first said "Life is pain." So basically, he's amazing.
Among her described outfits are green plastic skirts, bright pink fishnets and combat boots, a red wedding dress (that, when worn with combat boots, is very difficult to run in), and multiple colors of hair that include lavender pigtails, and magenta with violet tips.
For my outfit, I wore a bright blue tank top, a pink plaid skirt, purple striped tights, and pink docs. I also wore a leather jacket, because one of their weapons to fight the vampire cats are leather jackets that have really bright lights embedded into them (hence the enhanced light in my pictures). I also wore lavender lipstick because one of her friends in the book does.
