riot grrrl vibes part 1

I love Riot Grrrl. Like, I seriously LOVE Riot Grrrl. I started getting into feminism this year/my first year of high school/freshman year, and I've learned that feminism in general is just really confusing. You have those hardcore feminists who get totally peeved off when the male gender holds doors for them, and then I start to think "wait, if I'm a feminist, does that mean I have to get peeved when the male gender holds doors for me?!"(btw note to self, the answer is no) and then you have those feminists who claim to be feminists but don't really seem to be feminists, and I start to wonder "can I still be a feminist if I just sit there and do nothing when males/women/humans in general put down/objectify/diminish/trivialize my girlitude?" and then you have the feminists who know where/what they stand for and I'm just like "DAMN, I'd love to be you." and then you have the confused feminist, which is me! So I guess this series of posts in basically going to help me explore and define my inner feminist a little bit more. So yeah. I have about 6 billion Riot Grrrl inspired images via this tumblr that I love and consume daily, so I've decided to break up my Riot Grrrl vibes into different vibe posts/themes and stuff! I'm very excited. I think I'm going to get a Riot Grrrl tattoo at some point in my life, because tattoos are cool, and clearly, I love riot grrrl.

(does anyone know how to get these god damn pictures the same width? without having to deal with the html crap? just to somehow get the images to ALWAYS have the same width?)

sixties nineties vibes

I wore this outfit last week. I really love it, because it surrounds me with this aura of 60s and 90s vibes, which I love considering the 1960s and the 1990s are my two favorite decades. The flannel that I used my incredible skill to fringe, was thrifted, and it reminds me SO MUCH of My So-Called Life, and even more so of Angela and her signature flannel attire. The dress is reminiscent of a 1960s style, and then my gold boots+lace tights+socks+skirt under dress (dress=see through, me=no spandex, skirt=dress not see through anymore, skirt=makes outfit even more wonderful) just make it more awesome than ever thought possible. Yeah, I know. I rock.

I'm actually currently rewatching My So-Called Life for the third-ish time. The show is just SO relatable and SO accurately demonstrates the tomfoolery that seems to constantly be dancing about inside the minds of teen girls. Not only that, but I'm absolutely hardcore in love with Ricki. He is such a sweet and beautiful person who deserves everything that he was deprived of, and more. Additionally, Ricki probably has the raddest vest collection I've ever seen, and I have a fetish for vests.

Thrifted flannel, thrifted boots by Dirty Laundry, Nordstrom skirt, Audrey 3+1 dress, Forever21 tights, American Apparel socks, Claire's necklace, Frida Kahlo earrings, random heart barrettes.
