Outfit Post: Mary Poppins Inspired!

Source: http://theatrefashion.tumblr.com/

So I saw this picture a loooong time ago and saved it in my ginormous folder of fashion inspiration pictures on my computer. I was looking through it the other day and realized I have the exact same skirt. So of course, I had to make my own version of this outfit. Because who doesn't want to look like Mary Poppins. 

Top: Thrifted. Cardigan: Thrifted. Skirt: White House Black Market. 

Bracelet: Forever21. Tights: White House Black Market. Shoes: Amazon.

For me, I did a black blouse and black tights instead of the cream in the original picture. Plus I don't have any heels like that, nor would I be able to wear heels that high. So instead I wore my nearly flat granny boots, which I bought recently. They are amazing! It took me months to find them, because most boots like that are heeled. Anyways, that is my Mary Poppins Inspired outfit.

P.S. I am sorry I am a terrible blogger who never posts.

P.S.S. Tomorrow I am going to have a Goth-a-days (From Professor Z's Cabinet of Curiosities blog) about my holiday celebrations. I'm a little scared to do a personal non-fashion post but I want to do that sometimes here so yeah. Please be nice!

Rainy-Day Goth

So it's finally been rainy in San Francisco! Which while I love rain, I've noticed it's not ideal weather for totally ooky-spooky victorian goth clothes. So with too much time on my hands and a polyvore account, I figured I'd come up with some outfit ideas for when the weather gets a little wet.

I know what you're thinking, rainboots are not goth! But one, when it pours like it does in SF you kind of need them. Two, these ones have a lace print on them! So they're kind of goth, enough. Plus they look really nice with the coat. Note: I did not actually make sure that the coats in these outfits are waterproof. Think of these as guidelines, not rules.

Here's something a little more gothy with the cape and the boots. The boots kind of remind me of the riding boots Lady Mary had in Downton Abbey. Also the umbrella is all sorts of awesome.

This is a much much more simpler outfit. It's subtly goth, because sometimes when it's wet and cold outside I just want to wear pants. Though being me, that does not mean just throwing on a t-shirt. So a button up and blazer combo works. The boots are a bit stompier than I would wear, but you get the idea.

This last one is the most victorian, over-the-top I would probably go during a rainy day. Even then it would have to be a light rainy day. But hey if the boots are waterproof enough and I won't be outside for long, it could work.

So there you go, four ideas to keep your gothiness even when the weather isn't ideal.
