This was SO MUCH FUN to pair. It was colder this morning, so I threw on this sweatshirt, and then decided to match it with these wild pants from wildfang. The necklace, heart glasses, and hat all soften with whimsy what is a pretty blunt (AND VERY TRUE) statement.
Yes! I bought these vintage pants this past weekend, and decided to build an outfit around them. Another tweed waistcoat, a derby, an old dress shirt, pocket watch, and some brown and white oxfords made the look come together. I bought the vintage tie at an old store in South Africa in 2011.
Sorry for the delay! I had a conference, and then I contracted covid for the second time (first was April 2022!). But I’m healthy and back (see also facemask in my left hand!). This was a fun combo. I paired an old set of grey slacks and a tweed vest with a Japanese-made elephant print … More I’m back!| Thursday, 21 September 2023
This was a fun pairing of old and new things. No hats or head coverings, just the mohawk, back in its normal colour. I bought this flight suit back in May, and paired it with pieces I’ve had for most of the last decade–a beaded bracelet, leather watch cuff, and wooden elephant necklace. The ring … More Flight Suit Fashion | Tuesday, 5 September 2023
Welcome back, y’all. Last spring 2023 was one of my hardest and most overworked semesters, so we’re just going to draw a line under that and start with a new semester, new look. This begins my tenth year as a professor, my sixth year at USD, and my thirty-fifth year as a student/teacher (I started … More Back to School |Thursday, 31 August 2023
This was a fun combo of ideas. The bright vans shoes, the print pants, and the copper patina of the bracelet, are all paired with a simple black necklace and a stark print t-shirt. Also, septum ring and fresh haircut. I needed this update.
This was a fun time for new pieces! I picked up this muumuu from a great vintage store in Arkansas that ships. I found the antique bracelet for $5 last week at a flea market. The orange crown is a Christmas gift. I love how all of these paired with my glasses and the color … More Muumuu Mania | Wednesday, 8 February 2023
My God this was a fun outfit. I combined black wide-legged pants from wildfang, an old Express turtleneck from 2003, a leather crown, and this brilliant batik cape I’d acquired years ago, and it just felt so fun. It felt very different, very distinctive, very regal, very me. Very Black History Month. Y’all are welcome.
Look out, nerds. It’s a full week fo teaching. SO IT’S TIME FOR A GODDAMNED JUMPSUIT. The colour coordinating is absurd and I love it. Matching hat and jumpsuit, and then back to the very queer purple converse (with rainbow stripes on the side). The oversized dangling necklace just accentuated it all. It was so … More Purple Power | Friday, 3 February 2023
Let’s kick off Valentine’s Day month right. Here’s a simple pink/lilac combo, emphasized by my heart belt buckle from the now defunct Corner Cafe in Durban, South Africa back in 2011. Paired it with a matching felt crown hat, and the red aviators again, now with a red and black bowtie. Fun and casual yet … More Wednesdays We Wear Pink | Wednesday, 1 February 2023
