Stuff We Like: Marc with a C

Have you seen that one meme? Some Starbucks worker was told that the customer's name was Marc with a C, so the worker wrote 'Carc' on the cup. Very funny. ANYWAY, that ancient meme brings me to the first fashion post I have done in decades (hyperbole). I was re-drawn to it, when I accidentally came across the fall/winter collection on Pinterest, and oh my heavens.


Who could resist? So I guess I'm back at it. Let me talk to you about this.
1. First Favorite thing- the colors. Or lack of color. I love the dark gothic mix of black, charcoal, white, navy, maroon, and the occasional olive-y yellow. It's so fall-ish, but you wouldn't expect it to be. They don't sound very autumn until you look at them with the tweeds, and the silkier fabrics, and the leather pleats, UGH. It's very Cruella Deville plus Mary Poppins plus the-goth-girl-who-sits-in-the-back-of-the-classroom.

2.The Coats and skirts- I've talked about my love of jackets. This is nothing new. What is new, is my renewed love for skirts.I've been trying to come up with more outfits with them, despite the fact that it is summer and I live in pants for summer. There is something that is 'fashion-y' about skirts to me. They just look so nice, and I really love the ones here; especially the leather and tweed ones. The difference of the materials, something so iconic and classic like tweed clashes perfectly with edgy, modern, and futuristic pleated leather. It's just a cool mix.
 

3.The Makeup- BLACK LIPSTIIICKKK. Everyone, at some point in their life, had their goth phase. Mine hasn't totally ended, and the makeup for this collection spoke to eight year old me on a spiritual level. With the slicked back hair, dark eyebrows, and dark lip; it is the idealized version of the gothic queen I imagine in my head. It's another example of clashing in the show, the difference of the classic silhouettes and the edgy look. It werks.

And thus, my rebound fashion thingy is done.
