Minds work so differently...it never ceases to amaze me.</p> <p>I would wear this outfit as is in a heart beat. LOVE it Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223843 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:30:18 +0000 Karie 1223843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love the "bomb with bomber" word/outfit play, but yeah, the mixed message would make me think twice about wearing it. I do love the colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223835 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:24:14 +0000 rachylou 1223835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting thoughts about the bomb photoprint. As an American, I wouldn't take it with me on my vacation to Japan, but otherwise I would wear the shirt. Specifically, I'd wear the shirt in a confrontational way, because it's a spectre we live under and I can be political like that. As just fashion candy, no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223797 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:37:01 +0000 annagybe 1223797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what. I've decided I'm going to get rid of the sweatshirt. Although I adore the bright graphic orange and blue. It is decidely a mixed message. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223771 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 15:57:22 +0000 MsMary 1223771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, you look fab!</p> <p>Although now that it's been mentioned, I think I'd be a little squeamish about wearing the bomb shirt, too.&nbsp; I don't really mind it on anybody else (whereas I'd twitch a little seeing the gun shirt on somebody else, with the gun pointed at me), but I don't think I'd wear it.&nbsp; However I do think it's beautiful and artistic and historic.&nbsp; </p> <p>So, Ms. Anna, I think you have accomplished what you set out to do, which is to look fab and provoke thought and discussion!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223731 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:52:13 +0000 JAileen 1223731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm the only one who finds the sweatshirt slightly disturbing. It's an interesting outfit, though, and I appreciate your pushing the boundaries. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223228 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 21:05:36 +0000 Neel 1223228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the post title!! This is another bomber silhouette with a very different vibe. I am truly impressed how so many fabbers have pulled off this ensemble and yet remained true to their style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223213 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 20:43:35 +0000 catgirl 1223213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered the same thing - bomb vs. gun. Interesting debate.</p> <p>Good outfit though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223178 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 19:43:39 +0000 viva 1223178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fun as usual, Anna.</p> <p>The whole weaponry debate is interesting here. I'm not what I would call a peace activist by any stretch of the imagination, and I can definitely appreciate the graphic and cultural appeal of the bomb image, but I think I personally would choose not to wear either bomb or gun images myself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1223166 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 19:33:45 +0000 Lisa 1223166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun pattern mixing here, and the shoes look comfy but have a nice edgy vibe from the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221892 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 01:52:02 +0000 Jaime 1221892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221872 Sun, 13 Apr 2014 01:22:41 +0000 Jjsloane 1221872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt with the colorful print (ignoring actual literallness of it) and sneaks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221805 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 23:09:50 +0000 Echo 1221805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, in the last photo, I see unfortunate pattern placement, but I remember when you posted the sweatshirt in the past and I never noticed that, so I wonder if the jacket "framing" that is the issue. Regardless, it is an outfit that really works. I have no issue with the nuclear pattern, although I am anti- bomb (who isn't, really?). I wonder if that if because I see the photo like rabbit does, as an historical image more than a tacit approval of anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221782 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 22:37:24 +0000 BethL 1221782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great combo, Anna. That sweatshirt with the midi and bomber is inspired. Also, Mo totally cracked me up. But, yes, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221738 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 21:27:54 +0000 Angie 1221738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah.

Part of it is that I unconsciously see it as a historical image, &nbsp;an artifact (although a powerful and very terrifying and troubling one)&nbsp;rather than a present controversy. &nbsp;</p> <p>With gun images, especially if they are pointed at the observer, it mimics a current threat. &nbsp; Also anything that contributes to making guns 'cool' and normalizing them&nbsp;is something I personally want to avoid.</p> <p>The pop cultural connection&nbsp;of the A&nbsp;bomb with sexy images like&nbsp;bombshell and 'bikini' (named after Bikini Atoll, I think?) is worth a think about. &nbsp; Rita Hayworth was supposedly horrified that her pinup picture and/or character name&nbsp;was painted on an atomic bomb. </p> </p> <p>ETA: also what lyn says about sensitivity to context.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221600 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:22:17 +0000 rachylou 1221600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab and interesting... going for the darker blacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221597 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 18:18:10 +0000 Diana 1221597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this combo!

I would imagine there would be "feelings" generated if I wore a thermonuclear bomb shirt to meet the boyfriend's parents who are of Japanese origin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221567 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:42:47 +0000 Janet 1221567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's interesting, the shirt Una posted the other day had cartoon guns on it, and a lot of people were bothered by that. I wonder if people are bothered by a thermonuclear bomb on a shirt too. Not a criticism at all, just curious.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221563 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:40:25 +0000 Nicole D 1221563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tee is great. &nbsp;I like how you used a longer bomber jacket and made it work. &nbsp;Necklace is perfect too, where did you get it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-412-bomb-bomber-bombshell-skirt#post-1221559 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 17:34:07 +0000 lyn* 1221559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always have so much fun with fashion ...
