As you begin to understand who I am and what my taste is you will realize my Achilles heel are all things: studded, spiked, snaked, grenaded (i'm aware that isn't a word), brass-knucked (also not a word) , skulled (also aware that this isn't a word), skeletal, anatomical, & just strange and unusual. I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It excites me, my pupils dilate and in a flash I can see the next 60 years of my life with any one of those things. I've always been this way, and I've always been drawn to people who are strange or at least feed into my strange behaviors, odd humor, or that appreciate my style. And when I say my style I'm not just talking about how I dress, but my whole presence on a physical and metaphysical level.
I do most things on my own terms, and I say most things because I understand that not all things are black and white, and that I couldn't possibly walk around thinking that everything has to be done MY way (though that would be a glorious existence and it doesn't stop me from trying to achieve that), I am not above compromise....but I will NEVER exclude who I am from anything I do EVER. And neither should you.
There's so much to who I am, so many layers to me as an artist, as a friend, as a wife, as a daughter, as writer, as a FREE thinker; I haven't even begun to scratch the surface with this blog or with any of my other social platforms yet....but I will...just you wait and see.
But enough about that, on a lighter note, can we talk about this outfit? Ok so I've wanted the bottom portion as leggings for some time now, but it was hard to find in plus and if you found it it was usually bookoo bucks. then ASOS.com decided that they would carry them, and fro inexpensive dollars to boot, but I snoozed and lost on those, and my life commenced to end after that. And then a ray of sunshine parted the grey clouds when I saw a girl on some random instagram feed with this skeleton onesie from target........
When I tell you I DIED!!!!!
I was like...OK, I need this yesterday. So I stalked it after Halloween, because after Halloween sales are the best, I threw on a coupon code....and VOILA!!! This baby was on my body in no time. I knew immediately that I wanted to take something that was quintessentially comical or just not thought of as glam and glam it up a bit. So I threw on some jewels, a vampy lip, and my glitter kitten heels from ZARA for some extra flare. Who said you can't go OUT OUT in your PJ's?

Prior to getting all fancy pants, I had on my two-in-one jacket from Forever21 and my "current obsession boots", because it was 29 degrees of too cold for this shit. But upon looking at the photos I realized I liked the pre-"glam" outfit just as much as the "glam" outfit. And of course I had to act silly for the camera, because who really takes themselves that seriously?
