Power Suited

To be honest, in an idealized fully social media savvy world, I would have liked to have a few more *ahem* normal outfits between this look and the last one I shared here on the blog, since they are so stylistically similar. The online world also craves reality though right? This is the look I've been wearing lately on repeat, I can't help it!

Frankly, it's outfits like this one, ensembles that are so empowering, make me feel so confident and great, that make me wonder why everyone able doesn't choose to dress in 1940's suits. I mean, sure some people still have a fear of shoulder pads from the 1980's, but listen...shoulder pads are amazing. Give me big shoulders, big faux fur collars, a cinched waist and flicked out eyeliner any day and I'm a happy gal.

Of course, this outfit is once again very Rachael from Blade Runner. Which is why I'm afraid I am boring you with all these derivative looks. I'm not exactly cosplaying, but at this point it's getting close. The look is just too good, I can't help but adopt it to suit my tastes. If anyone wants to donate some 1940's Adrian suits to my wardrobe to complete the full true vintage meets Blade Runner loop I'm happy to accept them. The only thing that really makes this ensemble inappropriate for the 1940s would be the black fishnets, which would have been scandalous perhaps for a day wear outfit like this. Other than that though, it's only due to the look becoming so associated with science fiction versions of Noir that this outfit seems futuristic in anyway. Well, I guess that, and my purple hair, and choice of a street art backdrop here...

There is no mystery to my sartorial inspirations these days, but that's alright with me. As you can see here, we went on a search for graffiti recently downtown and found so much cool street art! I'd love to just walk around and document it all but it's simply too cold to be doing that for now. Very different vibes from the sterile suburban area I live most of my daily life in, but so much more vibrant. Though who am I kidding, I live my life here on the internet ;)
