Swingy and loose
As Saturninus said to Tamora in my favorite Shakespeare play, “Today shall be a love-day…” I knew it was from Titus Andronicus; ChatGPT insisted it was from Love’s Labour’s Lost. Read the actual text, students. Happy V-Day!
The Inadvertently Queer Hogwarts outfit
Henrik Vibskov box coat
I felt like being swingy and loose. The voluminous sleeves make wearing this akin to a robe.
Color square socks
When I look at these socks on my feet, I think “PIZAZZ!”
White pom pom hat
Every knit hat should have a removable pom pom, to give men options. I love a pom pom. When worn with my swingy coat, it gives an oddly collegiate look.
Prada fringe loafer
To put a little prep in my step.
Monki white shirt
As much as I hate all the “wardrobe staple” lists that aver you MUST have a good white shirt, life does require that you have at least one good one for certain occasions (none of which I consider fun). I simply don’t find a white shirts practical; wrinkles are highly visible, they stain easily, and don’t even get me started on people who love wearing something “crisp”. How is wearing stuff that requires starch and professional pressing a practical essential?
But alas, I wore one of the few white shirts I own because I wanted to wear a tie necklace.
Pulp Roma tie necklace
The vintage store in Monti where I picked up my Fornasetti sweatshirt also upcycles Italian ties into bedazzled necklaces. You can wear them around your neck or crossbody. I was so enchanted by these encrusted ties that I bought four, each one-of-a-kind. This is what I consider a true souvenir from Rome (apart from a tattoo).
