Post Apocolyptia


[Maxi Dress] Nom De Plume sold at UO, [Jewelry] Lucky Mojo Curio Co, H&M, Empty Casket, [Metal Ponytail Holder] H&M, [Boots] My Hot Shoes, [Lipstick] Coquette by Lime Crime

This post is going to reveal the dork inside of me.

When I saw this dress, I was immediately drawn to it because it seemed so post apocalyptic. I am really drawn to post apocalyptic culture/fashion because of 2 things: 1) my favorite video game of all time is Fallout New Vegas (I tried to start explaining it and well, just read about it here) and 2) I am totally obsessed with The Walking Dead. I'm counting down the days until the 3rd season, October 14th! Can't wait to see some more of my celeb crush, Norman Reedus.

One more thing about this dress...I must give major props to Madeline (that girl's got so much swag, I love her), who through her blog, showed me a new way to wear a maxi dress by tying up one of the sides. I like wearing maxi dresses that way better, because then you can still see your shoes and it makes it more form fitting.

edit: I am not sure why I look so tan in these photos. Probably just the sun actually coming out in SF + the orange dress and nude lipstick?

Everything from the make up to the cut of the dress and those classic short boots screams sophistication. This is my favorite look from you so far. Well done Izumi :)

This dress looks great on you, it's such a great idea to tie it at the side! Most maxi dresses are too long on me and I could probably use this idea to solve that problem too :) I can't wait for the walking dead to start again too :) xx
