#OOTD: Entering the Matrix

This coat is so warm and I'm ready for winter to beat some ass. It's so tough! I look intimidating in this, isn't it FABULOUS? And I paired it with these Christian Dior sunglasses. This coat goes so well with everything and ugh it's my pride and joy at the moment. I also posted a photo to my instagram in this coat but with different Dior sunglasses that still paired PERFECTLY because obviously this coat is PERFECT.

#OOTD: Call me Princess

Hello! I've been wanting a skirt like this for a couple months now but I've always held off on buying it (I don't know why). And I finally bought it! It's actually an inside-out petticoat but I preferred the texture of the inside to the satin cloth of the outside. It's no mystery that I'm into Asian fashion and one of my favorite subcultures is Harajuku, but most importantly and more specifically the kawaii aspect of it all. My entire outfit probably cost me like $20 (?) at most except for the boots; it's all thrifted and the skirt is from eBay.

#OOTD: Mugler Cyborg

So if you haven't been able to figure out I am in love with everything Nicola Formichetti does (hence the blog title Nicolakilledme). His stint at Mugler was no different and I hadn't purchased any of the pieces from his previous collections at the house so with this last season I was determined to buy something substantial. I bought this cute ass sweater! I'm moving in a more futuristic direction with my style so I thought this sweater fit perfectly in that goal.

I'm also incredibly influenced by 1990s/early 2000s movies and Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century is one of my main references for literally everything. This sweater reminded me of something she would wear so obvi I had to snatch it up.

#OOTD: Vengeance

I watched a film called Sympathy for Lady Vengeance because Arabelle Sicardi (FashionPirate) always talks about it and references it. She's literally my absolute fav blogger so I had to see what it was all about and wow let me tell you. It made me want to go out and fight people, like this movie got my rail-thin self riled up. It's a must see but be warned there are gory parts near the end so don't say I didn't warn you.

fun fact: This jacket came with a horrid dress as a set that I HAD to buy but it was worth it for just the jacket.

#OOTD: Psychedelia

Hi hi hi! So I'm back! My Christmas was really nice and New Year's was very quiet for me (not that I minded). But for Christmas I got these glasses from H0les that I had asked for! They're magical! I included my instagram video in this post to show their full glory, photos really don't do them justice--at all. As a personal Christmas present I bought myself 2 softboxes and a seamless white backdrop, I'm still figuring out both of them so just bear with it while I figure everything out and my parents got me an SLR camera FINALLY. Ugh I've gone so long without one (which is difficult as a fashion blogger).

Also! It was my first day back to school since the break!

#OOTD: As if!

The movie Clueless will always be a fashion inspiration for me. I felt like I needed a kilt in my life so I found one on eBay at a really reasonable price. But any who I spent the day walking downtown with a friend exploring different shops. Today was the day after my 6th year Vegetarianism anniversary so we went to my favorite vegan restaurant, Counter Culture, and then walked across the street to a vegan bakery, Capital City Bakery, for the first time. It was such a lovely way to spend the day.

#OOTD: Night Owl

So this was the second outfit my friend and I photographed on our double OOTD mission lasting until 1 AM. It was surprisingly cold this night and there's actually a story behind this location. She lives near a parking garage with vines growing all around the façade and I thought I wanted to photograph there but it was quite hard to reach the spot I wanted so we wandered into the garage and it was amazing! These wires are what keep the cars from falling down the middle but don't they look like sculptures!?

I'll likely return to this garage for more OOTD shoots because it was really graphic, there were many other photographable locations, and I love the industrial feel of parking garages.

#OOTD: The Factory

Hello! I feel bad for not posting and I'm super sorry! I shot 2 OOTD posts in one night at like midnight after I got off work because of it; expect the other post later this week. I wore this outfit to a book launch for my friend who was part of 512Stew, a group of UT Design Majors. I got to meet a lot of cool people and visited the nearby gallery on their campus as well which was quite inspiring.

I kinda stole the show with my outfit and I felt bad because I didn't even mean to; I had planned this outfit the night before I was even invited but I don't think I made any of my friends upset, thankfully.

#OOTD: I Own the World

Hello! I made something recently! Guess what it is! It's this hella cool dress you can see!!!!

So yeah I was bored one day and I had this idea in mind for a future project I'm putting together and I just decided to do it now!

Overall, it was pretty easy. It just took a lot of time because vinyl is incredibly cumbersome to work with.

Walking in it was more of a challenge than I thought it would be, I had to walk a bit slower than I usually do and shorten my stride but I saw some people take photos of me so it was pretty worth it.

#OOTD: I Mean Business

I visited the Capitol again! I hadn't planned on shooting an OOTD post but my friend suggested it so we just had my phone to work with. Sorry for the lower quality ahead of time. I found this suit at a thrift store and originally it had pants but I cut it down to shorts. The pattern is really unique; it's a glossy square pattern over a matte fabric.

#OOTD: Boy of the 21st Century

Greetings! Today was a lovely day, it didn't get too hot today, thankfully. And I gave a speech about why Anna Wintour is an important person to my presentational speaking class! I've been wanting to do this hairstyle for awhile because I saw it on Scary Spice and then Azealia Banks and even Miley Cyrus wore it a couple weeks ago but I never knew what it was called so I didn't know how to look it up. My struggle was really real. But I found a helpful video on youtube and I was so happy! The video is linked at the bottom of the post.

To complete my space traveler theme, I wore snowboarding goggles, jewels on my forehead, and white boots. 

Something is wrong with the camera I usually use so I had to check out a camera from my uni until Canon fixes it. Sorry for the weird over-exposure/lighting issues, it was my first tine using it. I just wanted to post this for y'all, despite my technical difficulties.

#OOTD: Hampton Club Kid

Today's the last day in my Week of White! I told y'all I had something special in store! I was inspired by @majormoon on instagram, a hair colorist who regularly uses glitter gels. I mixed a bit of cheap $1 clear gel with glitter and painted it on and voila! I love how it looks and everyone on campus has been telling me they like it, most of the people I'm completely stranger to. I thought this look was one of the most casual "resort" looks I've done this week but I shook it up with the glitter gel which is why I chose to title it as such. I think it all just kinda works.

#OOTD: Generation Y

So after my extremely weird outfit yesterday I wanted to tone it down and be comfortable today. But just because I'm comfortable today doesn't mean I don't have something up my sleeve for tomorrow... just you wait.

As a child I was a hardcore fan of the Spice Girls, my favorite was Baby Spice. I still love them after all these years! I mean hello, tuesday's outfit title was a spin of Sporty Spice! My favorite has definitely switched to Ginger Spice though because of her wacky fashion antics but I listen to them almost every day. So I thought I would finally get a Spice Girls shirt. I still remember (my mom) buying this album the day it came out and I thought the cover was just beyond cool.

#OOTD: Ghost

Third day of my Week of White! People have started figuring out what I'm doing but it's started something else. They think I'm going to continue the year wearing monochrome outfits, a different color every week! These people do not know how lazy I am. That is just too much work to do every week, honey.

But I made this "body cover" during the summer and I've just been waiting for the right time to break it out. I was inspired by Hwan Sung Park but I couldn't find it for sale anywhere. I think it was just a showpiece so I made my own. It was super simple. Get a piece of tulle as tall as you and sew the sides together to make a tube and then just sew in an elastic neckband.

#OOTD: Skorty Spice

Today's the second day in my 'week of white' and I really like this outfit. While I've worn outfits that pushed boundaries before, I've never worn a skort. But I actually really love this. I guess it's just like a pair of shorts with fresh-to-death detailing on the front.

People seemed shocked by it, no surprise there.
