I bet you didn't see THIS one coming, now did ya? Me dressing like some rebel gothic hacker, Lisbeth Salander style? What can I say, I've always been a big fan of women dressing like badasses. I guess for me it all started with Michelle Pfeifer's Catwoman - first girlcrush for sure - and went on with characters like Aeon Flux, Leeloo, Tank Girl and real life personality Gwen Stefani. I'm probably not the only one who finds style inspiration in kick-ass-ness, seeing how the internet is FILLED TO THE BRIM with people cosplaying as one of the aforementioned characters. I guess we all like how these characters combine sex appeal with a very strong, non compromising personality... Or at least that's how I feel about them.
ANYWHO, this whole get up is like a more wearable version of the awesome cartoon babe aesthetic if you ask me, and it reminds me of the picture that made me fall in love with Hanneli Mustaparta.
<3 she's like a Valkyrie! Who WOULDN'T want to be a Valkyrie?? I know I would! Platform boots do something with a girl, let me assure you. They make you feel like you can stomp someone in their face if they look at you funny.
Dressing like a movie character is the best if you ask me. Do you ever think of a story or a character when you put together an outfit?
PS: sadly these boots are a smidge too small and I've since ordered a bigger size. If anyone is interested in purchasing these off me (a size 38), let me know! I'm open for negotiations on the price :) email me at thestylingdutchman@hotmail.com!

Heerlijke laarzen! Als je ze in een winkel had gekocht had ik ze ook meteen gekocht!
ReplyDeletein een winkel vind je dit soort "extremere" dingen jammer genoeg niet zo betaalbaar :(
ReplyDeleteI often dress after a caracter in my head. And you know how much I dig such outfits!
ReplyDeleteSuper cool, ik heb ook zo'n leggingske en soms is het leuk ook die frivole jurkjes aan de kant te gooien en badass kledij te dragen ;)
ReplyDeleteOok een tof leren vestje x
Haha ik word helemaal nostalgisch van die boots! Helaas geen tiny maat 38. En die foto van Hanneli is perfecto! Je look is goed gelukt!
ReplyDeleteYou always always look so effortlessly cool. I love the platform boots and am so very jealous of your ability to pull off those pants. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteso stylish! love it!

Tough chick! I like it!
ReplyDeleteHaha. You don't look like a badass. At all. You still look like a completely girly with that bright lipstick and ridiculous pink watch... The leather jacket, the boots, the gray long tee, and just wearing tights it looks like as pants... it's all much too tame, and too "glam" to be anything Lisbeth would wear. Quit trying to be something you're not.
ReplyDeleteoh noes, you totes made me cry! :( Don't be ridiculous, I'm not dressed up as her for Halloween, I'm wearing an outfit in MY style that makes ME think of characters like Lisbeth Salander. Your thoughts on the matter have zero relevance. Just like my thoughts on your style don't matter. That's my philosophy.
