I wear dresses...lots and lots of dresses, skirts....even with pants I wear dresses or skirts. You know, all that pritty lacy stuff. Can't get enough of it.
And of course, I am a shoe-maniac. I've got some ten different boots and a doesen or so of these victorian shoes...the ones with those "tap-dancing" designs on them and the buckls and heels....oooooo...I just love shoes.
For me, every outfit I wear seems new and experimental, but for the untrained eye it is always the same...or at least I have been told so. So I guess I even have a "style" and I would call it romantic-sinister-victorian....erm, yeah. Something like that. I love experimenting and looking elegant while at it.

What I love most is wearing elegant things together with heavy, lumpy things...for example a nice neo-victorian dress with army boots or chains. I know the idea is old but I just love the paradox feeling of the finished image. It seems to be an absurd mixture of styles but then again a style in itself.

Also, I absolutely go crazy for all sorts of accessoires like skarves or hats. I have a "charlie chaplin"-hat, as I call it, a cyllinder or top hat, some wierd lumpy hats...and I have about a million different scarves which I wear with every outfit, so I suppose that can count as part of my style. And also gloves...for each different outfit I have different gloves...lace gloves, gloves with missing fingertips...long gloves that go up to my elbos....yeah.
The only thing that stops me from being a complete tussi is that I don't gove a shit for bags. I have exactly ONE bag and wear it with any outfit. When that bag dies, I get an other ONE bag and wear it again until it dies.

...Wow, do I write alot when it comes to clothing. Okay, I'm going to shut my mouth now.
