A good 80% of my wardrobe is purple or is mostly purple, I suppose that is a little odd. 15% is anime related and 5% is miscellaneous stuff that mostly consists of things people have bought me.

I don't know, a lot of people think my BunBun backpack's pretty weird. I guess some people think my black and white striped legwarmers are weird too, but most people like them. n.n

Divine_lil_brat 11-26-2007 07:38 PM

I dunno, I used to wear knee high combat boots, black pleated skirts with a mesh skirt. Most people thought it was weird to wear for a beach town but eh -shrugs- I liked it. Now I'm just gray hoodies and jeans unless I'm going out, then it corsets all they way XD

I collect weird earrings too. The strangest ones I have I made. One of them is a tiny plastic ninja from a gumball machine and one is a tiny plastic littlest pet shop bunny. I also have lots of random animals like snails, pandas, and penguins.

I used to wear very strange things every day(they were always things I liked though) so people would stare and come talk to me. I can't bring myself to care enough to put all that time into dressing anymore. I miss it, but I guess not enough.

I am hopeless with matching things though. I never think about it until I'm out of the house. Once I am I realize that I'm wearing all the colors of the rainbow.

with me... the first thing that gets arrention is that I only have one ear pearsed. (i can't spell... sorry) I generally wear alot of gothic type earrings, like skulls or a gryphon's paw or eagle claw. not too dangly, cuz I don't wnat htem to get caught in a door or soemthing... but kinda big.

I also have a collection of animal earrings as well. Some are studs, and some are dangly. I have a dangly one that's a mouse and a peice of cheese, and I have a pengi as well ^_^ I also have cats, and fish, and a pair that look like fish bones.. weird but funky

I've got a fondness for army surplus gear, seeing as it's both cheap and stylish, and have quite a collection. I used to wear flying goggles when playing gigs, and I've got a German army cap I sometimes wear when on a night out. Oh, and I'm rarely without my trusty old paratrooper boots.

It makes my mother worry about me, for some reason. I just like the way it looks, what's wrong with that?

Prozac Bunny 11-26-2007 09:00 PM

XD; I've used my book bag as a belt when I was walking home a couple times. =D It was fun!

Aeronwyn 11-26-2007 09:23 PM

I've got a few full circle dress with crinolines, they always attract attention. Fashion is all about statement making, I love mixing up styles and stuff. :)
xXx

I love army surplus gear too! Not only is it cheap and stylish but since it's made for army guys it's fuckin' indestructible. I've got a fantastic pair of Canadian army boots and the coat I've been wearing the past few weeks is a British navy peacoat.

Also, my boyfriend and I wore Soviet & American army uniforms to prom. It was pretty lolz.

I haven't been to the army surplus in forever though ;A; There's some stuff I want, but I've been 100% broke lately. I barely had enough money to buy groceries today D;

Enniel 11-26-2007 11:49 PM

i dont really have any weird fashion statements...that i know of o.O

Flink 11-27-2007 02:36 AM

Chexala: Ooh. That all sounds pretty. Flink wants to see a picture of the weird skirt. ^^

Cherry: SQUEE! It's beautiful! Flink would LOVE a skirt like that! She'd totally wear it too. XD BUT her mom hates anything she has to do with skulls. >.>

Flink just remembered a green dress she supposedly has somewhere around the house. o.o She wore it once. She likes it. Green is happy. -wonders if she can find it for her family's Christmas gathering-

Ljos: Flink has great taste in stalkees! ^-^

Flink wants to get into reconning clothes. Especially since clothes for a girl her size are really expensive. And ugly looking most of the time. >.<

MewMew: Flink's not sure, but she thinks your post style isn't allowed. It's too bloated with BBCode and such. And really hard to read. o.o

Queen: Cute bag. Minus the pink part. XD Flink is the same way with her bags. She had one with teal, brown, pale rose, and stuff on it. Fun designs (Think a brown and pink handkerchief and a teal background with roses on it), and it had little gold disks that hung down one side in a line. Flink lurved it. But some guy from school kept wanting to play with the disks. o.o

Flink's family has a joke about you shouldn't ask her if something matches. XD Her fashion sense is terrible which is why she normally wears tshirts and jeans. And ONLY jeans. Though, in the past year she's gotten to where she'll wear a dress from time-to-time.

8bit: Ha! Funny. Flink bets that prom was awesome! Hers sucked. Waaaay too many news crews there to make anything enjoyable. >.<

Spunkifull 11-27-2007 02:50 AM

I wear a dog collar I'm pretty fond of :3
and a berret that I wear backwards.

Wynna 11-27-2007 02:55 AM

I have this piano belt, it's a normal leather belt with piano keys on it. I do have some different pants, like gold and blue cords, and chef pants, and these dark green jeans from CK.

Also I have alot of shirts that are mostly of trees, or of large cats. And I have like 6 jackets, that are all plaid, except for one black waistcoat.

Ithir 11-27-2007 02:56 AM

I have this whole like, set of earrings and necklaces that I found at Hot Topic.
They're like, little string voo-doo dolls.
I've got zombie, fairy, and thief earrings, and a devil and a prisoner necklace.
I usually got comments on the earrings.


Flink 11-27-2007 03:00 AM

Flink liked Hot Topic. She had a pair of handcuff earrings from there. She LOVED those earrings. But they broke and she hasn't gotten around to replacing them.

But now she's not too fond of the store since it's so annoying to go in there and get weird looks since she doesn't dress like what is apparently the normal customers of the store. She even had one of the people at the cash register mutter about her being a prep. (It was so amusing, though)

That and they keep the store SO hot. Flink doesn't like hot stores or stores that're that cramped. Since they pack everything so tightly in there. >.<

Amo_Angelus 11-27-2007 03:05 AM

BABELFISH EARRINGS!!!! AWESOMNESS! You should so totally find some Flink!

People think Angels odds socks are wierd. Angel and her sister had odd shoes at one point, but that was pretty wierd as we switched and she always had trainers and Angel always had heels >_< Fun... but wierd...

StarBlazerM31 11-27-2007 05:08 AM

My black leather spiked collar. I wear it with EVERYTHING.

Aulophobic Flautist 11-27-2007 06:22 AM

Wow, I so wish I had pierced ears so I could wear weird earrings like those. But I'm too squeamish.

Well, I have my own odd fashion statements. I've got these awesome bracelets that I have to wear everywhere. I've had them for about 3 years and I keep adding to my wonderful collection. Each one of them brings back a memory. Someday I hope to have bracelets up to my elbow.

I've also got these super cool plaid converse. They're fairly new, but I love them just as much as my bracelets.

If you haven't noticed, I love colors and I love being different!

  • Nu-uh, I think it's just if you have different coloured underlining. Or two colour codes in the same post anyway. But it is sort of hard to read.
    I also dislike hot stores. I think stores should be cool and comfy, so that you can breathe. When you go shopping, you aren't usually wearing just shorts or something, a lot of the time you'll be going outside and stuff inbetween stores (unless you're in the mall, but even then not everyone goes there by car) and so you'll be dressed according to weather (sometimes). If it's hot outside, stores should be cool and shady, if it's cold outside, stores shoul have a sort of a mediocre temperature because when you've been out walking in the cold and come inside, you get really, really hot. Or at least I do. >.>


    Aulophobic, I love those shoes, they're really nice. I just have a red pair of Converse that I really like. My first Converse pair I got a couple of years ago (also red) and I wore them for a year and by the end of it, they were so worn out that they were falling apart. For some weird reason, my mum insisted on buying a new pair (I much preferred the worn out ones) and so I got another red pair. They're pretty worn, but I have another pair of shoes now that I use a lot more (warrrrrmer) so they're not as warm as they could be. I'll be wearing them for another year, at least. :3

    Caroline, lovely. :o Drag queen store? Sounds awesome! I wish we had some of those.. >.>

Bleeding Rose 11-27-2007 06:37 PM

let's see....

I carried my binder bag thing as a purse around NYC. THAT was rather painful because it's heavy.

I used to wear a dress over my jeans.

And I LOVE wacky earings. IDK... like 80s style big plasticy things. And "pearl" necklaces. I'll wear them with anyhthing, even t-shirts.

OH! And I recently died my tips a redish purple. They're pretty though kinda light. I like a month or two ima get them darkened.

so ya....

Hokuto 11-27-2007 10:48 PM

Haha, its sort of hard for me to sum up my fashion style so I'll just post a picture of something I wore to my honor roll ceremony thing. XD
Basically I wear a lot of stripy socks, tie dye tights&shirts, tutus, leg warmers, anything colorful and fun really. XD

I had fun at both the proms I went to (my boyfriend's in 05 and my own in 06) because I didn't take any of it seriously. I even ran for prom queen at my own prom and came in second place by something like two or three votes. My posters featured dinosaurs eating other. It was pretty sweet!

Hokuto -- your style reminds me of mine when I was younger! I've toned it down a little though. I still keep lots of bright colours but my clothing now is pretty simplistic because I love big bold jewelry and want to keep attention on my jewelry :3. Also, I have those same shoes I think. I love them, so much. <3

Aurora 11-28-2007 03:20 AM

Hokuto ~ :o Cute outfit!! I like stockings to and my sister likes styles like that. :D

Flink 11-28-2007 03:34 AM

On earrings, the only reason Flink's ears are pierced is because her family had it done when she was really little. She at one time got the courage to get a second hole put in them, but the lady messed up. So Flink hasn't gotten the courage to do it yet again. XD Maybe one day when she's drunk?

That's how Flink would dress if she could get away with it, Hokuto. But for now she's trying to get a job and having those clothes wouldn't help too much. Her boss from her last job surprised Flink by not being weirded out that her hair is dyed red, with the parts underneath dyed black, and with the part in the front lightened.

She's since given up on lightening the front since her mom won't listen and do it a little at a time. (Flink's hair's rather dark, and she doesn't mind having orange hair for a bit <.<)

But with Flink's hair being so curly it looks really neat with all the different colours. XD Flink gets comments on it all the time from people who stop to play with her hair (And there's plenty of that).

Another reason she doesn't wear clothing like that is the stripey things are hard to find in her size. (Though she also doesn't wear stuff without sleeves) She's planning to get a lot of shirts for Christmas this year and adding sleeves to them since she found a tutorial on how to do so somewhere. (Craftster she thinks). But before they started making a lot of plus size clothing without sleeves, which annoyed Flink. >.<

And those shoes, the plaid ones are gorgeous! Flink's thinking of getting back into wearing that style of shoe. Though, normally she wears skater shoes (think Vans?) but she's currently wearing an off brand. She loves them! She wants to get the camouflage pair.
