Like this jacket <a href="http://www.hervia.com/vivienne-westwood-ladieswear-c1/vivienne-westwood-red-label-c121/vivienne-westwood-red-label-vintage-tartan-jacket-lilac-cream-p19543" rel="nofollow">http://www.hervia.com/vivienne.....eam-p19543</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-523154 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:11:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 523154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I can't get the song out of my head...</p> <p>FWIW I like any type of style that has a strong sense of juxtaposition. I really think you have something here Mochi and I look forward to see you flush it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-523116 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:32:29 +0000 Patty 523116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands up here too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-523084 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:44:22 +0000 Anonymous 523084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at sedated.....I think this sounds like it could work for you. Time to start playing with clothes (some more)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522894 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:01:09 +0000 catgirl 522894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favorite photos back in the 90s was a woman with a tomboy-short haircut in a black tank top, a ballet-pink tulle skirt, and a pair of Doc Martens. She had crazy attitude and charm and wore the outfit with complete ease. I've always loved that kind of juxtaposition which to me sends a message of "Don't assume you know everything about me" or "I'm full of interesting contradictions" or even "I have a playful sense of humor but am also a bad-a$$." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522722 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:53:44 +0000 Mo 522722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense to me. I may not portray it well in my everyday outfits but I have an undercurrent of this running through my chosen style too. I have several pieces that just on their own, join ruffles and zippers lol. For me, a more understated hand feels right with this dichotomy. I'd feel silly in a ballgown and biker jacket - but Angie has pulled it off effortlessly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522601 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:48:43 +0000 Mochi 522601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can thank Rae for those genius style pics, Una. Kate Moss particularly--wowza. I would love to write a rambling essay on this. But pics really do scream louder than words in this case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522599 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:45:59 +0000 kimlee 522599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I love the idea of romantic punk, and think you could ROCK this style quite well. Rae has given you some get inspiration photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522594 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:42:48 +0000 rachylou 522594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Romantic punk makes perfect sense to me. And I can think of a lot of ways to do it - from the subliminal to the full out musical ;&gt;</p> <p>I like these kinds of skirts: </p> <p><a href="http://www.sludgefaktory.com/skirts/partisan.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.sludgefaktory.com/skirts/partisan.htm</a><br /> <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/tag/bustle/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thisnext.com/tag/bustle/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.thisnext.com/item/261A83B5/6D5135FE/Purple-Makes-you-Prettier" rel="nofollow">http://www.thisnext.com/item/2.....u-Prettier</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522569 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:22:21 +0000 Amy 522569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Juxtapositions of seemingly opposite things like this make my heart sing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522548 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:12:08 +0000 catgirl 522548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally get this and if I didn't have to drag DS to school I'd write more. Will do so later - love your caption and photos. This is what those silver metallic oxfords are saying to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522505 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:49:39 +0000 rae 522505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, I don't think this is disjointed at all. In fact, I think what you describe might approach the steampunk look - romantic and Victorian elements fuzed with hardware and industrial elements. Probably the difference for you would be more urban instead of industrial. </p> <p>An image search yielded a bunch of photos, so you're not the only one with this combo on the brain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522486 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:39:29 +0000 Meredith1953 522486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi-<br /> Is there a picture? Sounds lovely but would be nice to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522430 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:27:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 522430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think is disjointed at all. I don't have pictures, but I love a biker jacket with a soft, flowy blouse. A biker vest over a floaty dress would also work. Anytime you have pieces that lean extremely in one direction (romantic and feminine, or tough and masculine) it helps to pair them with a bit of the opposite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-wanna-be-sedateder-i-mean-i-wanna-be-a-romantic-punk#post-522424 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:22:59 +0000 Mochi 522424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thought came to me while I was making the bed just now. Does this make any sense? Is this one look, or split-personality looks for alternate days? Am I just enjoying myself in my typical weird way? Any pics that speak "romantic punk" to you would be appreciated. I wasn't even a real punk in college--POSER. Not even a poser. But it's the spirit of it, I guess. Minimalist, zippers, hardware, exuberance, details, blah blah blah. I can go back and do the exercises later--on my way out the door....and oh yes, I like Classic too </p>
