New Age Retro!

[XemryXIII]

so, I'm trying to put together a new look and revamp my style...

Here's what I'm trying to get:

Vintage Old Civil War military naval officer Jacket (Black)


Collarless Black Dress Shirt


Relaxed Cargo Jeans


Enamel Leather Velcro Straps High Top Sneakers



price together on ebay, the essential parts of this look would equal approximately $227

what do you guys think?

Erm... You would spend more on that one outfit than 80% of my closet. and all my cloths are finely made silk dresses and nylon-sewed leather shoes(I'm allergic to cotton.))

dont get the coat it looks kinda gay on the modles (no offense) tbh for the rest it looks nice dress s**t + tan + muscle = hot fan girls (-cough-expierence-cough-)

well the price is flexable, except for the jacket.
I rethought the shoes and pants because I can find something similar to the pants in stores and I can substitute the shoes.

that leaves the jacket and the shirt.

Agreed, the jacket is a bit odd.

yup, I know...

but so am I.
I make a lot of odd clothes work well together 3nodding

I also like having clothes that are so unique to my sense of style that no one can bite my style.

i love the black jacket, but i'd like it more with silver trimmings instead of gold.
the shirt looks good but it gets old fast.
pants, you sure can get those in other place, very similar (or even better) for a lower price and the shoes... nah. i like the style, but not so good for leather Xp. kinda pseudo-gothic-ish =/

good stuff Xem! X3

UP for the ODD yeeeii!!! xD

...is life as yet untouched by tragedy ~

thanks shan! mrgreen

the shirt is part of a pretty extensive collection.

if I ever get my hands on $1000, i'm gonna get the entire collection  

[XemryXIII]

Sooo...
I decided to go with a different shirt from the collection...and I got it!





I would like to think I would make a decent clothing model...if I could take full body shots with my phone xd
I ordered another shirt as well, and I plan to get the jacket next week.

all-in-all, I say mission accomplished!
Project New Age Retro will go along as planned this Fall 3nodding

Xemmys always been a little cutiee ! xD

I like the jacket, I actually do. Its not looking gayyy. I do actually think its looking a bit on the thin side? Throw in a little b***h a starch or a thicker stiff jacket, yknow.. Make it look like a jacket the a shirt the badabinnng it shalll doooo. XD

The shirt is looking a bit like you walked out of an anime or a Jap-Drama, its cool, whatever. Maybe get a looser fit? Yknow, get it a size bigger. So it still has it shape, it still comes in a little tight in the middle, still has it style, but has a looser, less restraining look to it.

The pants, Xem, you can that anywhere. XD Any pants shall do, I actually think that LIGHTER will do more justice. Or get the same color blue jeans but less of a green hue to it, if ya know what I mean. XD Or mayber darker jeans. Like on the dark side. With hm... A bit grunge to it. Like it doesnt look super new but actually on the ninties side. Like you already worn it out, has a bit of rips of tears, comfortable to the touch, but still new and still in tact. XD

The shoes? Nooooo hunnay no vit da shoez, dey have GOTA go. *gay paw wave* XD I see what youre feelin, I know what youre going for. But the shine? *shakes head viciously, imaginary slits my neck and puts a gun to my head* NO SHINE. NO. I will not let you do this Xem. XD I cant! I wont. Ohh *clutches heart and staggers* Sorry, my theatrical costumer side is coming in. XD What you need is combat boots. See, it already goes with the jacket. XD

One example:




Have it dull, grunged out look perhaps?
Im sure your legs arent this scrawny but its about Yeigh High?




It still has that kick a** look, but in a simple less obnoxious way, ya feel me? Youre lucky, if you actually are into these shoes, then you can get it for a good price online. Because men shoes are cheap. See these kinda boots are trending for women, s**t, I got my Doc martin brand shoes for a hundred and change. Dont do that s**t, dont do brand its a waste. You can find a good price online. I wear my combat boots with my black dresses all the time, or skinny jeans, and I love how these ones cost just about 30 and change. You just have to look.

thanks bunneh! mrgreen

I got the shirts a size bigger, like the people over at doublju recommended and it fits perfectly. I was gonna go get some jeans probably tomorrow sometime and just last week I found some boots that look just like the black ones you posted, but I didn't have the cash at the time crying . I actually gotta get 2 pairs of boots (1 pair to wear, another pair for band) and they were just $20 so, as soon as payday hits they're MINE! twisted
