As I mentioned before, whenever I dress girly, it's really more of putting on a costume and having fun dressing up, but I feel most like the real me wearing stuff like this. I had issues with gender dysphoria when I was a kid, and even though I have supportive parents and a lot of privilege, I think I'm still a little bit confused about my gender.
Anyway, everything I'm wearing is vintage except for the garrison belt, which I got at Portobello Market. You can't see it, but "I was young, I needed the honey" is printed on it. Clever, eh? The boots are ancient Fleuvogs that I got while I was still living in Canada a hundred boys ago. I love them but they're so hard to walk in because they're so clunky. I always end up tripping over my feet.
I styled my hair to look like a little boy's who just woke up and had to rush to school. I used to have short hair for years, but I got tired of always having to get it trimmed, plus it made me look REALLY young. I mean, not to brag or anything, but I don't look my age already, and having short hair made me look like I was a university student and no one took me seriously.
It's less of a concern now that I don't have a real job, but after I grew my hair out while living in Italy, I got used to having long hair. For the longest time, I was afraid to cut Bettie Page bangs because I thought it would limit what I could do, but it's actually a lot more versatile than I expected.
