Fairly recently I posted this on my tumblr and asked you guys to give me feedback on the kind of content you'd like to see here on my blog. I feel like juggling both video editing and photo editing for my YouTube channel and blogspot respectively is pretty damn tricky in terms of time management, but I still enjoy them both so much so I wouldn't want to neglect either one. So by expanding the types of things I post here (as opposed to pretty much only outfit posts which take a lot longer to create) I feel I can keep my blog updated more frequently. yayyyyy.

Getting onto the actual topic of this post - one of the feedback suggestions I received was sharing the inspiration behind my style and clothing. So I have created a sort of 'inspiration breakdown' by selecting a few pieces from my wardrobe that have some kind of memorable inspiration behind them and basically explaining why I hunted them down slash bought them e.g. because it contributed to a character look I was going for (and lbh* 93% of my style is dressing like fictional people).

How do you guys find your inspiration for your style and/or clothing choices?
And if you have any further post requests or suggestions I'd love to hear those too :-)

*fyi this isn't a typo of 'tbh' - 'lbh' stands for 'let's be honest'

Mathilda

Mathilda Lando from Léon: The Professional, my current obsession. I've found that film characters have become my main source for style inspiration these days, including Wednesday Addams, who also deserves an appreciation post. I've started DIYing my own velvet chokers, something I'll be posting about! and soon I'll have my own replica of Mathilda's choker  ̄‿ ̄ I'm so excited to be seeing chokers around again~ I'm hoping these make a comeback:


Tattoo chokers! I still have a rainbow tattoo bracelet, but planning to get a whole bunch of the kind above. Along with the 80s, the 90s has got to be my favourite fashion era. What's yours?
