I went to a friend's birthday party last night in Beverly(my last night living in Beverly, actually!) and I wanted to wear something nice, but I didn't want to wear vintage. I go through that battle constantly. Especially at school, seeing as people still smoke in their apartments. That is one thing I'm happy has changed since the 40s/50s/60s/ is that people don't really smoke indoors too often. So while collecting vintage I have been trying to find the best look for myself in reproduction type clothing. I've found a pair of jeans thats come up to my hips, so just shy of where my trousers hit, and they are a good classic blue. I also love me some striped tee shirts.
Good mens vintage reproduction is really hard to come by, especially for an affordable price. There's great companies like Ole' Woogies, Freddies of Pinewood and Tarantula Clothing but I can't afford any of their clothes. I can afford vintage over these companies though.
SO Im pretty much posting about nothing. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep on my moving day.
I did hop back into the vintage swing of things. THis was my outfit today. some 40s mens trousers(not the ones I wanted to wear today but these will suffice I guess) and a non-vintage but still old sweater. most likely from the 70s/80s. I just threw on some plimisols for basic footwear. I need to Shave, pretty bad. haha But I figure I would show you guys(via crappy web cam photos since my camera already made the move Im working on) what I looked like while I've been at school. I was really into goth again hahaha. Below is my outfit I wore while I was packing up my stuff and dancing around with my roommate. A pentagram shirt cut into a tank top(gift from the roomie) and my red shorts from H&M that I cuff shorter. oh yeah, and 6 inch black patent leather platform heels. No big deal.
