- Yellow/Pink flower hairclips by Hello Kitty – Toy Joy, ATX
- Victorian/Damask black earrings – Urban Outfitters
- Sex Pistols Shirt – Urban Outfitters
- 1970s black sailor pants (made into shorts by me) – Military Supply Store, Seattle
- Black wedges – Melissa, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
I really debated on if I should post this outfit or not, since it’s not my normal 1930s style, but since it is technically 1970s, I guess it’s okay.
Plus, I don’t want any of you to think I’m a vintage snob/purist, although I do get put into the “Authentic Vintage” category by other vintage blogs 
I have wanted a Sex Pistols shirt since I was 14!!!! I look for them on ebay every once in a while but they are always $75.
I know it’s not my normal style, and that it’s not very punk to shop at Urban Outfitters… but here I am in a t shirt!
When I sing karaoke, I always choose Sex Pistols songs or Outkast. Now you know all of my dirty secrets.
Here is my yellow eyeshadow. It’s by Makeup Forever and I like to bust it out for special yellow occasions.
Johnny Rotten is an adorable old bastard.
He falls into my ideal of suit wearing/crust punk gentleman.
I know I’m not supposed to say that the Sex Pistols are cute, but I will.
Here are some awesome Sex Pistols Songs:
- No Feelings – my favorite Sex Pistols song
- (I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone – Sex Pistols covering the Monkeys
- A Ukulele cover of “No Feelings”
- An acapella version of “Anarchy in the UK”

I love the Sex Pistols too!
You look SO cute, and I think mixing up your style is fun once in a while
I love punk/grungy guys in suits too! Johnny Rotten is awesome as an old dude!
I think this is the cutest outfit I’ve ever seen you in. I love these shoes and what adorable shorts! *wink* to those “punk gentlemen.” Totally with you.
Thanks Meredith! I have been collecting a smattering of menswear that I want to do a post on in the near future!
I love that look! And I have very similar shorts
Speaking of punk gentlemen, my friend Max whom you met at the burlesque night once wore a “No Future” pin with his 18th century outfit. Fitting, isn’t it?
Franca put me in the ‘authentic vintage’ section too!
I feel a bit guilty about that, in a way, because I certainly don’t always wear vintage. 
I really love this look – it’s so much fun. And shows off your great legs!
I was wondering if I could ask a favour? I’m coming to Austin this weekend for just over a week (from the 23rd to the 30th) – we’re moving there from New Zealand in August, and this is a reconnaissance trip to check out the city and find somewhere to live. I would love to catch up with you for a coffee sometime if you’re free, and don’t mind meeting a scary Internet stranger – I don’t know anyone there, and it would be wonderful to connect with someone who has similar interests. I completely understand if you don’t want to, though!
My email address is andrea[dot]eames[at]gmail[dot]com if you would like to email me directly. Thanks so much!

(And I love the Sex Pistols. Although my karaoke song of choice is usually something by Phil Collins. I know, I know).
