Hello you beautiful creatures!! I hope you’re having a fabulously amazing day because you deserve it!!! Honestly, I’ve been struggling mentally/emotionally but fashion is one of my outlets so I always feel a little better when I look pretty 😂

Remember, you are stronger than you realize & more capable than you know. Today may suck but tomorrow is a new day. The storm doesnt last forever friends. Love y’all!!

For those who don’t know me, HI! I’m a queer hippie exchristian farmer living in the Bible Belt of rural Tennessee 😊Just here to spread some positivity & kindness while showing off my fun wardrobe! 💜

It’s so pretty, vibrant and blue! I can’t wait to do some pin curls, a gold flower, makeup and pumps to the theater next week with this dress! Don’t mind the hair. I just came home from the gym and it was on my front porch.

Not a single person at my office said anything 😂

Literally no shame, seeking feedback!

I am having a courthouse wedding and then a big reception 2 months later. I LOVE my reception gown, not even gonna spoil it here! It fits the vibe of this dress but it is somehow 10x more formal, whimsical and still elegant?!

That being said, my beautiful (and affordable-ish) Selkie Bridal gown arrived today and I put it on, literally cried, swooned over myself etc. Looking back at the pictures, I suddenly feel like I look bigger than usual (I typically feel this way in white). I worry it looks like my boobs are spilling out, or is it a sexy amount of cleavage?? The dress is exactly what I payed for, could use a steaming but I am totally happy with it. But is it flattering for someone built like myself? I am a top-heavy girl who likes a big skirt and ruffles, lace, whimsy, etc. I also don't have the most hope to find a new one as I was VERY picky the first time around, this is the ONLY dress I've loved.

I am torn! Is this MY dress for a courthouse wedding? Is feeling this way a red flag? Did any of you have this feeling after buying a dress? Will I like it better with a steaming and a veil? Genuinely please answer these questions if you have an opinion!!

TIA as well for any advice (ie: shorten it, change the sleeves, etc) or constructive criticism!

FWIW This is the Selkie Bridal Ivory Cupid Dress is a size XL (I'm 5'3, 170). I purchased it on pre-order for $323 and shipping.

Editing to add: I think it's a clear no-go.

That being said, I think very few of you are into my aesthetic😭🫣.

The wedding ceremony will be very private, just me, him, and 1 witness each. We are taking some 1800s sepia style photos (It's a very unique theme maybe!).

The plan was to wear short lace-up brown boots.

I had no help to get into the dress but it definitely could close in the back, the skirt/ zipper area initially made me worry it was too big. I know my chest is large. Loved the idea of using a wide ribbon instead. I would describe the vibe as witchy-meets-fairy but vintage?

I feel like I look like a circus clown and would love more dress recommendations.

I wear a size XL/1X/16

Linen button down shirt (3x) and linen ankle pants (2x) in Kombu from Old Navy

(or I probably would not have done them)

Also hello!✨

Ignore the socks please. I was wearing pants and decided to try on for funsies

Featuring: my JRR Thottie dress and the first necklace I made at a recent metalworking class!

And make it look so cute. 😏

Happy Friday Hags! I was looking at past posts and realized most of them give office/dressy or going out vibes and that I haven’t posted many casual outfits that I’d wear for running errands, going shopping, or maybe a casual dinner out. Well this post changes that! I love that the last 2 outfits show off my newish (done in late Feb) navel piercing!!! Also sadly the skirt in the first outfit came with a thin leather brown belt, but it was much too small for me to use, so if anyone has any recommendations to a thin-ish brown or black leather/pleather belt that would be awesome!
