Bits Of Butch
Today I got dressed, looked at myself in the mirror, and went, "Hey, I kinda look like a boy!" It was exciting because normally I'm quite straightforwardly ladylike. This outfit still has too many femme details to qualify as masculine, but I think the undefined waist and lack of makeup put me solidly into androgynish territory. (Or perhaps I should say "menswear-inspired". Haha. The joke is that gender essentialism is awful.)
I especially like this bright shirt because it's a girlier version of the loud Hawaiian ones that a dad might bring on vacation. My dear aunt Nancy Bea Miller sent me a big package of clothes, and this is the first piece to be worn on the blog!
These tiny twin lockets actually open. I think I'm gonna fill them with pictures of my rabbits.
Thanks to Marisa Noelle for this bag!
Do I look short and chubby in that last picture? Yes. Am I okay with that? Mostly. Should I be? Absolutely! Body positivity, whattuppppp.

Thank you, Aunt Nancy!
DeleteOh my gosh, you totally do not look like a boy! I do love the print of that top though, super cute!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you!
DeleteA true rogue is all about challenging people's perceptions (usually in the sense of them not seeing you until *after* you've gotten away with whatever you were doing) - you make 'androgynish' look effortless! :-D Rock it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel like I'm become much more roguish due to our association, haha!
