score! pt 2

Continuing on the finds and acquisitions from H&M...

Several cotton voile blouses, each one under £10, not bad considering that a) cotton clothing is usually hideously expensive here in Britain; b) finding cotton voile blouses in something other than white or cream or beige.

I did purchase two in white slightly different in cut to these shown below. The white blouses' necklines actually button at the collar rather than the plunging necklines of the coloured blouses. Otherwise, they're essentially the same. Also I acquired one in black that is in the same cut as the blue and olive blouses. All of the blouses allow the sleeves to be rolled up and secured with the button and tab at the bicep.







The black linen trousers:



Some waistband details:




The black linen trousers are quite long and did come with a belt, I forgot to show it with said belt and I also forgot to take a photo of the details in the back. The trousers do have side pockets and two rear pockets with button closures.

The blouses and trousers could be used for the steampunk/gaslight fantasy costume. However, they were purchased with the intention of me using them for Topping at Parties.

One might say these clothes are a little masculine, and yet, they're still feminine without the girlie-nonsense. As a genderqueer, I like the mixing of female and male elements; I especially favour clothes that have elements that do not heavily fall in either gender.
