New Fashion Style I'll Use To Distance Myself From Emo Even More

[Guest praisedbeherhooves]

Well, I have a style that still is far too close to emo right now. I want to distance myself from that definitely. I used to use emo fashion as a stupid attempt to cover up severe mental illness and I don't want anything to do with that anymore, though I have nothign against emos. I did cut off my hair, but I wish I didn't. I pass better, but I miss my luscious raven locks . Besides, I really only care about passing when it comes to my body and my voice now. So, I'm growing out my hair to my shoulders. I'm planning to dye it with henna and indigo which should, since I have naturally black hair, make my hair blue black. My natural hair texture is very slightly wavy but nearly straight so henna should straighten that out completely since it has barely any wave as it is. For bottoms, I'll have dark jeans with no tears that are tight but not super tight. For my hats, I'll wear masculine vintage hats like fedoras and top hats if I can ever find a top hat that doesn't cost a bazillion dollars. I'll keep my patterned ties. I might occasionally wear hair accessories like bows, clips and headbands but probably not often. I think I'll stick with my plain black vegan belt and a skull buckle for my belts, as well as another plain black vegan belt that's more subdued with its buckle. I'm all of my more flamboyant belts such as studs or bullets. I am totally getting a green carnation pin in homage to Oscar Wilde. I want a pocket watch, so I'm going on ebay to find a nice one that is reasonably priced. I am keeping my dark red thick rimmed glasses. I will start wearing more political t-shirts with the hope that someone might talk to me about them and I could explain my views and maybe open their minds more. I am getting into real activism too, by the way. I'm going to continue to wear vests, suit jackets and dress shirts as layers in order to disguise the stupid lumps on my chest. I am going to continue to wear makeup. I'll mostly stay with black or navy eyeliner, but might occasionally wear brightly colored eyeshadow or glitter. I'll still wear light bronzer and foundation the color of my skin. So, yeah, does this sound completely horrible, still emo or just androgynous labellessness

Wow! I think you've hit the gender freedom button with that combination. Can't wait to see a picture (please?)

Love, Kat

Nice. Seconding both the freedom thing and the pictures--sounds like an awesome lineup that deserves being shown off.
