wholesome whole-wheat knockoffs

Even the pose is more subdued. 

While I am getting over the fact that I payed $40 for 

the American Apparel bodysuit when the Hot Topic

knockoff is $15, I'm still pretty happy that the see-thru

window to my crotch is approved by fashion's biggest

pervert, Dov. You kind of have to wear a high-waisted 

skirt/shorts with it, because no matter how skinny you are,

a belly button peeking through see-through fabric looks 

fairly fucking odd. This is obviously fixed in the HT version.

Hot Topic Pros:

Sleeves: always a fan of sleeves

Cheap(er): $15 vs $40

American Apparel Pros:

the lame detailing: really, this detailing MAKES the look

While I haven't tried on the HT version, I can say the AA top is, 

like most of AA's clothes, super comfortable.  

HT Cons:

Cheap looking, lets be honest

Without the lame detailing, looks pretty flat

AA Cons:

the sheer drops all the way down to the crotch, 

so you can't wear anything low-rise

Also, I'm not a fan of the "muscle shirt" sleeves. 

New hair. First time I've ever had bangs. Do I like it? 

Well I'm not a fan of retro

or bettie page

or anything "abilly" 

But I'm glad I have something different than the day before

Concept Shoe

OMG it's the CONCEPT SHOE

cartoon goth

I go back and forth between this look... I'm still in the camp that goth should be evil, but what can I say, we sure do love our loony toons. Here's a brand (Too Fast) I turned my nose up at when I first saw it on, yes, Hot Topic (it's still there on the site by the way). I've got a personal pet peeve regarding goth becoming all cute 'n cuddly. But it grew on me since it reminds me of a few of my fav-or-ite things: Rob Zombie, Coney Island Freak Bar, and Cartoons!  I can't pull this look off anymore because:

1. I'm not 16
2. My hair's a natural shade 
3. I don't have any tattoos
4. ... I'm regrettably normal looking

But still, this is a great look for the Coney Island Freak Bar  . It's also fun and delightfully trashy.

Roar!

Love this. Found this on Nasty Gal (now 50% off!) 

Personally, I love a bit of humor in fashion.
