He yeah... I got a cool fake retro Led Zeppelin T-shirt in H&M a while ago. It's black with the 1977 "winged Icarus" graphic on it. I love the Zep and I was pleased to find a cool looking T-shirt that wasn't overpriced band merchandise.
My style has changed a good bit since. I tend to stick with dressy clothing now, black with touches of red, white, and purple. I rarely wear trousers (pants) and when I do they are formal - plain black or pinstripe. When I wear short skirts I wear fish nets or lace pattern tights with over-the-knee socks. Mostly I wear ankle length gypsy-style skirts.
On top I wear black long sleeve tops, blouses and sometimes plain black t-shirts. I have some sweet corsets too. I have a few Japanese-esque tops - cross-over kimono style things and bell- or wide-sleeved tops.
I usually wear boots. I have 5 pairs. One pair of black knee high PVC look zip-up boots, one pair of black patent leather shin-covering boots, one pair of leather knee-high lace-up boots, and a pair of high-healed lace-up Victorian style boots. And last week I caved to something akin temptation and bought my first pair of New Rocks. (I also have a pair of Doc Martins but never really wear them).
I have one pair of cheap black and grey runners (trainers) that are paper-light and useless in the lightest of rain. I wear them to give my feet a break from boots.
Right now I'm wearing, toe to top, my New Rocks, lace pattern tights (panty-hose), a black crinkle-effect skirt with an uneven hemline, a black camisole under a black, off-the shoulder crochet top with laced-up sleeves, and over that I have a short little black zip-up top with a faux-fur neckline.
I'd really like to start making my own clothes. I often have ideas for designs, which I sketch, but I have serious doubts about my ability to bring them to life
