Flapper Fizz

I have a mild obsession with the Roaring 20s. A romanticized, unrealistic obsession, of course, but... anyway.

Having said that, I've created a few random bits to share/spread my love :)

Be Like Weetzie Bat : Wear it.

Ways to Be Like Weetzie

Number 21 :: Wear What You Want, Wear What You Love!

Wildfox photo shoot captures Weetzie's glamorous style

Weetzie is NEVER afraid to wear whatever she wants. When she finds something she likes, she goes for it and doesn't care what other people think of her. This is the case with many FLB characters and it should be the case for you!

For starters, get clothes you like. I love thrift stores (goodwill, etc) and outlet style stores (Ross, Marshals, TX Maxx, etc), and even the dollar store can have adorable purses and bits of plastic jewelry. Give yourself a certain spending limit each time and get a few things that make you excited when you see them. Things don't have to match when you buy them (although you might want to avoid something that you love but don't think you'd ever actually wear), just go for what you love.

"I was wearing my shiny leotard and my wraparound skirt, my cork sandals and Jontue perfume and Bonne Bell lip gloss." -Wasteland

Grab some accessories (or make them yourself!). Bracelets, anklets, knee high socks, slouchy hats, 

Native headdresses, Indian saris, hello kitty jewelry, stick-on body art, glitter tiaras, star shaped barrettes and hair bands, studded belts, rainbow suspenders, and so much more! Grab the cute little things that catch your eye (which never has to be expensive if you're in the right place) and top off all your outfits with bands of bracelets, thick colorful belts, military hats, or fingerless gloves!

Find some style icons. I love Zooey Deschanel, she's bright and pretty and whimsical, and I pretty much always love what she's wearing and how she looks. Find someone who has a fashion sense you like, and look to that person(s) for inspiration!

"Perdita is wearing antique lace, and feathers in her hair. She is wearing strands of beads, a plastic necklace filled with green glow-in-the-dark liquid and a glass bird ring. She is dancing by herself when she see me..." -The Hanged Man

Make a list of things you love/want to wear, and things that make you feel beautiful or stylish (I have two in my Bible). Every time you're taking an extra minute to piece together an outfit (keeping in mind that I only spend like 60 seconds doing this in the morning), scan through this list and find something that's in there. Wear it!

Go for fashion. I'm not a believer that everything has to match. But, it's easiest to make things look great when there's at least some kind of main theme. So try keeping certain colors together in your outfit (I really like green, purple, brown, black, and grey, and they happen a lot in my clothes lately) so that even if it's pretty wild, it at least has a sense of...flow.

You never have to pick one style. If you feel classic one day, go for it. Punky the next? Go go go! Bright and trendy the next? Yes! Sporty chic the next? Just do it!

Even if you never feel like dressing up and feel best when "dressing down" or just going around in sport suits or jeans and a tee shirt, just go for it! As long as you feel good in what you're wearing, that's what's important.

Don't think about other people. Dress for you, no one else.

If you're confident in what you're wearing, your much less likely to get strange looks from the people around you. You probably don't like what they're wearing that much, why should it matter if they like what you're wearing?
You love it, and that's what's important.

"Under the pink Harlequin sunglasses, strawberry lipstick, earrings dangling charms, and sugar-frosted eye shadow she was really almost beautiful. Sometimes she wore Levi's with white suede fringe sewn down the legs and a feathered Indian headdress, sometimes old fifties' taffeta dresses covered with poetry written in glitter, or dresses made of kids' sheets printed with pink piglets or Disney characters."

Little Bits of Happy (& a haircut)

I've opened up a small Etsy shop selling handmade accessories. It's mostly crocheted things at the moment, gloves, hair bands, and even rings, and soon will have hats and scarves, but I'm hoping to build it up little by little to include lots of different things. Hopefully things full of hearts and flowers and glitter, making your world a little brighter and fun.

Because I love this blog so much (even though nobody actually reads it), I've put up a coupon for any readers from here who'd like to purchase or commission something from me!
During a purchase (you'll have to contact me first if you want to commission something) Enter WeetzieBat for 10% off of any item!

So check out Glitter Baby at www.DreamCyn.Etsy.com
And please let me know what you think!


The other note, is that I really want a haircut. I'm so desperate I'm considering grabbing a pair of scissors and doing it myself. But I'm absolutely terrified of getting rid of my hair (even though that's exactly what I want to do) and might have to pay someone to do it just so it'll actually get done.
Internet Inspiration give me strength!

New Year Shoes

Listening To: Bitter:Sweet :: The Bomb ((Drama))

I wish....

New Years parties mean New Years Outfits, which always seems to be a big deal for me-- even though I rarely do anything for NYE.

 Last year we went to a local bar/club for a funky concert. Outfit consisted of a sexy sleeveless turtleneck top with holes in the front and back and a silvery chain necklace attached, tight jeans, and cute pumps. I always seem to get New Years worthy tops for christmas, and luckily this year kept the trend, with a cute flowy, flowery black tank top.

This year, even though we're both working dinner tonight and breakfast/lunch tomorrow, we're stopping by a co-worker's house for just long enough to sip champagne and fit a dance or two in, and share some rum-chocolate coated pretzels I'm cooking up.


As for tonights outfit, my plan is the flowery tank with black leggings, super short black shorts (leftover from my sadly short Derby stint last spring) and Happy New Year necklaces I got from Target for a dollar. The problem lies in the shoes....
These are my choices ::
<--- Cute and stylish (the stripey cozy socks are a must, I'm sorry.)

Or Punky and Practical. These are cute (give a sort of rugged adorableness to the outfit) and I can wear them to work, with is a big advantage.--->

Hmmm...decisions decisions.

Have a Happy New Year!!!

Winter Cozy

I'm in a girly-girl fashion-obsessed winter clothes kind of mood this week, and it's too bad I'm bed ridden (practically) with nowhere to go but work for the next week. New years was supposed to be spectacular but I'm working both Even and NY Morning, so it's not likely it'll be anything worth getting excited about.

Until then, I'll snuggle in cozy socks and fluffy sweaters, waiting for my body (and boss) to stop hating me and get my life back in a non-embarrassing state.
