Pirate Life

  This is my second attempt at styling this foofy shirt. Today, I am a pirate:
I think my winter gloves really finish the look.
 Foofy shirt: Parsaman New York (thrifted)
Waistcoat: styles (thrifted)
Wool pants: Banana Republic (thrifted)
Boots: ALDO (thrifted)
Wool coat: S by Serle (thrifted)
Gloves: Target (available here)
  Well, maybe more like a navy captain, with this coat. Airship captain is more my thing, but I'll give this a try. :D If I had a coat with a a sweeping tail and swirly folds (technical term) going from front to back, it would look more piratey. This coat was a song at the thrift shop and is fully lined though, so you are hearing no complaints from me.

  I am going to link up to Patti's Visible Monday with this one. A suit like this feels pretty visible.
  I figured out I can go back to my everyday steampunk style if I put leggings and long sleeved undershirts under everything and if the weather cooperates. Hooray! I wore it to class, but no one shouted "Yarr!" at me. Oh well.

  Secret for when one's vest and trousers don't overlap: I folded and scotch-taped the bottom of the shirt up, since it was too short to tuck in.

  Do you have wardrobe quick-fixes? What are you layering up with this winter? Are you also a pirate?
