    How do femme straddlers express themselves fashion-wise? I seem to switch between 50s gal and indie nerd :D

    • Day to day: (and a lot of events): dark jeans, fitted black v-neck t shirts, black boots and statement necklace. The occasional wrap/a-line/shirtdress with an interesting pattern. Getting into the tights-with-shorts thing this summer because I’m at the upper age bracket for looking cute and not silly.

    • At work I try for classics/basics with a little bit of a sharp edge. Lot of grayscale, minimal color pops, clean straight lines, very little in the way of patterns or pastels or soft ruffly anything.

        In other news, I really like your workwear. I quit my office job to work in a community organisation, but I used to wear: sleeveless sheath dress made from suit…[Read more]

        • That sounds like an awesome getup! Yeah, I find that it works out pretty well for me to have my dual identity: sharp biz caz something-or-other at work and totally grungily inappropriate on weekends. Even though I feel like the latter is more “authentic,” I’d definitely miss the put-together alter ego if it were no longer called for in my life.…[Read more]

    • I love AA, so I sort of switch between over the top colours with lots of short skirts and dresses to a bit of a nerd or even sometimes punkish look.
