Do You Want Fries With That Shake?

I guess I'm ready to do some farming, today. :P  I missed wearing these vintage denim overalls. They're so comfortable...like wearing pajamas in public. Hehe. The weather was gorgeous, too. So, I thought that would be a good enough excuse to dust off these babies and take them out for some fresh air.


Picture

I think this might be as close to a rustic/girl-next-door look as it will ever get for me. o_O I really like this style, though. Don't get me wrong! I just find it difficult to pull off that type of look. I'm surprised I came this close. :DDD I included some of my favorite colors: mustard, deep orange and olive. This is a rather casual outfit, but I feel like the styling made it look feminine and...dare I say...pretty. Heh. >_<

Picture

One of my favorite bits of the outfit is the deep orange cardigan I wore underneath the overalls. They have huge flaps at both shoulders and, you know me, I'm a sucker for little, weird things like that. The pointelle print and large buttons are really cute, too. To make things a little more interesting and to highlight those awkwardly awesome shoulder flaps hehe, I just pulled them over the straps of the overalls. I think doing so gave the outfit a little more of a retro flavor? I'm not sure. I dig it, though! :D

So, some of you probably already know this about me, but I'm not much of a meat eater. I'm an inept vegetarian in that I will eat eggs, cheese and fish, but that's it. The number of hamburgers I've eaten in my life can be counted on one hand. Seriously. The last one I had was eons ago, at that. So, let's just say that I wouldn't really wear  socks with a hamburger print on them. Hehe. Of course, my sponsor, Sock It To Me, didn't know that I was a pescatarian and I'm not offended in the least. My only concern was that the socks wouldn't get worn often. I hate receiving something and then hardly wearing it.

It always feels so much like a waste, you know? Fortunately, my partner loved the socks when I initially showed them to him. When I told him about my reservations concerning long-term wear, he asked if he could have them.
Now, he wears the socks like every other week. So, problem solved. Haha. ^_^ <3

Picture

Anyway, you'll notice that, instead of dwelling on the print, I focused on the things I liked: the color and those cute sesame seeds. When I'm just standing, you see a little bit of beige and those white dots. However, when I sit down and cross my legs, you can see that those dots are seeds and that they're part of a burger bun. :P I like the spectacle of that little reveal when I'm wearing printed socks. :D~

Here's your colorful palate cleanser for the week. Hehe. Every now and then, I feel like I need to be more feminine. I figured with this array of colors, I couldn't go wrong. Haha. *shrug* I force myself to do things that are outside of my comfort zone, because I think doing so benefits me on a personal level.

Maybe this outfit is a little "twee" or whatever. Maybe it's childish. I really like it, though. I like the colors and patterns. I think the cat hat and patent shoes are cute. It's me. It's 100% me. I'm not going to stop being myself to appease the sensibilities of strangers. That's bullshit. I'm just not going to do it.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something
else is the greatest accomplishment.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I realize this style isn't for everyone. I think that my style in general makes most people uncomfortable. I know I alienate a lot of people with the things that I do with clothing. My style isn't supposed to be for everyone, though. It's supposed to be for me. That's the point, right?
 I don't think that I need a style that everyone can relate to. I just want to be free to express myself. That freedom means more to me than the acceptance of strangers. Obviously, I don't want to upset people, but, at the same time, that anger isn't really my problem. Heh. Also, getting bent out of shape over someone's style sense is stupid. So, I hope that you guys dig the outfit and that you understand where I'm coming from. Happy Tuesday! ^_^
