The Fashion Project

No matter how feminine I try to be, I always end up in a punk rock-inspired outfit at least once every other week. I just can't help myself. It usually tends to be heavy on the black, but I've managed to throw a bit of color in there too. I'm pulling together a lot of random items in this outfit, including a cotton slip with ruffles on the bottom (great for making a short dress longer!), a tunic-style t-shirt tank with a rockin' guitar screen-printed on the bottom, a black cardigan that floats around my closet, a belt that came with a pair of pants I threw away like 5 years ago, a tube undercap and scarf I got in my Malaysia haul plus a black bonnet to hold it in place, a goth-lolita style brooch that came attached to a shirt I got sometime ago, and a pair of black boots that you can't see. They are the standard go-with-anything type with round toes and square heel. Kind of like horseback riding boots, only without the buckles.

I mentioned that I'm using a black bonnet to hold the red polka dot tube underscarf in place. The reason for that is because it is too big for my head and not tight at all. I'm not sure if Malaysian women have bigger heads than me or something, but it is so loose that even without a scarf on, it slides back across my forehead, displaying my hairline! Yeck! So I have to either wear a bonnet under it and pin it down, or wear a bonnet over it and tie it in the back. I was planning to order a bunch of these tube underscarves from an online hijab store in the UK, but now I'm nervous to, in case they are all too loose on me. Anyone else ever have this problem?
