This is a page inspired by some people over on 32bit-café discussing that they wish there was a bit
more fashion stuff on the indie web. I realised that, hey! I can do that! And so this place was
made. I've loved fashion for most of my life, always having strong opinions on it if nothing else,
and as such I have some stuff that could be fun to show off and so.
My styles lean alt, with
general 90s influences (probably in large part because I inherited like half a 90s warderobe from my
mum) with specific aims to go towards the more gothic side of things. However, I also am fond of
historical fashion, pink, red, and hearts which I think shows in my style choices.
Another goal
with this was to try to make a fashion webring. I have yet to get to that at the time of writing
this, so you tell me how that went!
As for more practical info, the camera asset is from this tumblr post, the heart is from this one and the title font is called "Heartless". Any assets I haven't listed? Just write to me and I'll see if i know where it's from!
Also, if you're the type to look at code, I am so sorry for the chaotic JavaScript. I had never edited any before making this, and am frankly shocked it works. Any scuffed CSS or HTML is probablt also due to JS as a concept. Just... just don't look and it'll stop hurting probably :)
This set was something I wore to a music event of some kind not too long ago. The skirt is called "XS punk" for unclear reasons (it's a couple sizes large on me, amusingly), something i think really lowers the otherwise amazing style points it has. The top is a pattern stolen from another top I made, with lower quality, a high chance of flashing someone but an oh so nice look... especially with that bra underneath! This was paired with some worn-out tights as sleeves and then the broken chains on the skirt were just kinda pinned up as i felt like.
I specifically bought this hoodie because it looks like the one Jennifer has in that one iconic scene. It's absolute garbage as far as quality goes but oh god I adore it other than that... The tee under is an adorable piece I inherited from my mum who got it sometime in the 90s. The text says diamonds and it really makes me feel so cute. This look is very hyper-femme and heart-heavy which I love. IRL I rock a heart theme to a shocking degree lol. Like, I even have a heart tattoo. I love matching my makeup to this hoodie too!
This is a nice fit for a decently warm yet windy day imo, short but some warmth. The tee is a 90s piece that I was gifted by my first boyfriend and is one of the best things to ever come out of my relationships lol. The dress beneath is just a cute little layering piece: I wear it a lot but it's too transparent to use on its own. With a belt to give it some figure and plateu sneakers this is just a fun look! The only downside is the double sleeves, but the white ones can be tied up, it's just an annoying extra step. I am considering shortening those sleeves, actually.
Yet another look with that VTM tee! I really do love it. This time it's paired with a skirt my mum
made when she was my age and that looks. fucking. amazing. The corset-like ties in the front? The
fit of it? The length? It all looks amazing imo. This look obviously goes with a pair of New Rocks,
some of which also are mum's old ones.
This is one of my most-worn outfits I'd say, being a
very nice lightly goth look to pair with varying intensities of makeup looks. And it looks a bit
polished nonetheless!
The title is a bit hard to read, but that says sunkigt, which is a term for a bit grungy of
a look, but not grunge. It's great for early winter and a less femme feel, featuring gloves that can
be fingerless or finger-y, a nice warm hoodie, scarf with skulls that I was gifted oh so
long ago and my beloved leather jacket that desperately wants some care at this point. Hood up and
I'm safe from some level of cold at least.
Oh, and my cat (Tiara) matches the fit well and is
such a cutie that she obviously has to be included. Duh.
This top just deserves a shoutout imo. It's one of very few non-reddish colorful pieces I own. And I
(shockingly) wear it. It goes well with a 90-s inspired makeup look and my brown leather New Rocks.
Oh, and I unsurprisingly got the shirt as well as the boots from mum. Yes, she was really cool.
The
print really matches my hair and also goes down along most of the arms, with another figure on each
side. While the sleeves have a bit of an odd length that doesn't bother me. Sometimes that's even a
boon, actually.
Despite most my looks being very heavy on the black and the metallic pieces I sometimes also lean
overly "pretentious" for lack of a better word. This dress shirt is a nice example, being something
I very frequently wear. Often with a pair of nice leather heels of a more lightweight model. Though
the dithering kinda washes it out it features some lovely embroidery along the collar.
I bought
it second hand in Copenhagen after a lot of going back and forth with myself and am glad I did
considering how much I wear it!
