If you could dress any way you wanted, how would you dress?
hmmm. in general, a lot of intricate carefully-detailed pieces, with structured lines sort of like the aesthetic of a corset or a starched jacket. lots of black, grey, purple, red. boots. long billowy coats. high collars and several layers of shirts/vests/whatever. things that would allow me to show off all my socksā¦. so probably things like layered or asymmetrically-hemmed skirts, or shorts, or trousers that cut off above the knee. Iād love to wear all sorts of arm warmers and gloves and whatnot, considering all the excellent patterns and such they come in, for the same reason I love socks.
oh, yes, and jewelry. lots of jewelry. I have four piercings in my ears that I barely do anything with at the moment; Iād love to have tons of shiny earrings for them as well as other ones that Iād get if I had any particular reason to⦠Iād certainly go looking for nice necklaces and bracelets and rings too, because lbr here my ideal aesthetic as Iāve mentioned I think once or twice is sort of āloligoth noldo princeā. Iām a fan of silver and really fine detailing and coloured stones, probably more cabochons than faceted ones but it depends on the individual piece in question.
I also do rather wish I still had waist-length hair, because long hair is shiny and pretty and I could do interesting things with it. it might still be purple, or possibly auburn or very dark brown, not sure. also eyeliner. (keep my glasses, though. I am very attached to my glasses.)
......and on the other hand if we're doing a complete 180, I'm also rather fond of the whole leather jacket-stompy boots-dark straight-legged jeans-slightly tarnished metal and choppy hair aesthetic too.
