Am I tired of all that!</p> <p>I have a necklace featuring a scarab in lucite, a gift from my MIL.

This conversation has inspired me to&nbsp;&nbsp;pull together of some of my favorite creepy cool item photos&nbsp;and how I've styled them and start a separate&nbsp;conversation challenging everyone to show us their favorite "creepy-cool" items and how they've worn them (hopefully I'll have time tomorrow morning and you'll all post your favorites!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168580 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 19:43:34 +0000 Anonymous 1168580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them!

I look forward to seeing any of your quirky fauna pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168486 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:00:35 +0000 catgirl 1168486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore these and Natalie's beetle stuff too. I have a pewter wolverine skull necklace and a dinosaur skull brooch - I think creepy cool is fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168481 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 17:58:56 +0000 deb 1168481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A find meant to be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168476 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 17:56:25 +0000 goldenpig 1168476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! A beetle twin! High five leopardluxe! Can't wait to see these on you! Now I'm kind of regretting that I returned the beetle tee. I thought it would be too much beetle-mania, but I should have remembered that anything worth doing is worth doing to excess! I love quirky animal/insect prints too and I love that you're having fun with fashion with me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168468 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 17:50:19 +0000 kkards 1168468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see these styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168461 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 17:41:41 +0000 annagybe 1168461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sneakers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168434 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:35:45 +0000 Neel 1168434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! She is definitely one rocking lady! And Angie always insists we should have fun with fashion. After all isn't fashion an art? So rock on!</p> <p>ETA: We must have cross posted! I love goldepig's shoes and the ones you posted too! Head Turner for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168432 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:33:15 +0000 leopardluxe 1168432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel, also, I'm in love with goldenpig's entire outfit! Especially the dragonfly shoes. I have a pair of Friend of Mine Claw Boots that look similar but they have golden "bird claws " wrapping around the heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168430 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:29:05 +0000 leopardluxe 1168430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel, that's exactly how I feel. I've always been a nonconformist in a bunch of different ways and as I age and become even more comfortable in my own skin year after year I have decided that having even more fun with my fashion is just another way for me to tweak my nose at what society insists I should look like/dress like&nbsp;at this age/career-level.</p> <p>I recently came across this photo&nbsp;on a street style blog&nbsp;of this older woman at the Rose Bowl flea market. I have decided this woman is my style&nbsp;icon. What a seriously rockin' lady! She simply owns it. So I'm going to continue to just "own" my looks regardless of how old I get and encourage others to do the same </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168426 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:23:02 +0000 abc 1168426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know yourself and your style. No one should knock you for that, bugs or not. I'm not a big bug fan in fashion or real life but can respect that you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168425 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:19:05 +0000 Neel 1168425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think goldenpig's gonna love you :)</p> <p>Not a fan of insects! I have insect phobia :D. But I do love owls. That's how quirky I get. And good on you that you refuse to buckle to societal norms. We have just one life for god's sake! And we should be able to live it the way we want to!</p> <p>ETA <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-124-tory-burch-golden-dragonfly" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-dragonfly</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-quirky-creepy-cool-tory-burch-beetle-sneakers#post-1168419 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 16:10:25 +0000 leopardluxe 1168419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I'm pretty new to the community I might as well just confess now that I have a thing for what I call "quirky-creepy-cool" items of clothing and jewelry. Most especially things with skulls/skeletons, snakes and bugs. </p> <p>Not to everyone's tastes, I know, but I have always loved the unique and weird and refuse to let go of that love just because I'm older (nor should I have to, imho). I honestly don't care if someone thinks it makes me look like I dress overly young for my age. I'm usually pretty good at combining elements in such a way that it doesn't skew *too* young (because my intention isn't to try and look like I'm trying to look younger than my age, it's just to not give up on being quirky with my fashion and continuing to take fashion risks.</p> <p>That said, as a painful&nbsp;reminder that I'm not young anymore, I developed arthritis in my left foot over the last year or so and as such, have been forced to surrender/sell/donate some of my sky high heels for lower heel and flat options.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was on the hunt for a cool pair of casual loafer type&nbsp;sneakers when I stumbled across these Tory Burch sneakers new in the box on ebay. (I knew she made a bag with this pattern and I own a pair of her scarab beetle velvet loafers but these were like kismet --I was looking for just the right casual loafer/sneaker and there they were). Apparently they are sold out everywhere online&nbsp;now and this was the only pair on ebay. So I sort of felt like it was karma telling me to buy the shoes before I regret it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Score one for refusing to grow old gracefully. At least when it comes to my quirky and fun&nbsp;fashion choices.&nbsp; </p>
