i'm here
Yale Sale →
I feel like I need to forward this with the explanation that my mother tried to raise me as a gender-neutral feminist which was was like, good try mom but I'm 8 and don't understand any of this.
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
hahahha
→ yard sard
and this is how you turned out loving pink and frills
Yale Sale →
Yeah she tried to raise us with 0 gender stereotypes but my brother wound up ruining his toy trucks in the mud and I sewed together new clothes for all of my Barbies. So it goes.
→ yard sard
this will always make me laugh
Yale Sale →
ANYWAY so I've basically never had anybody to help me learn how to dress myself or how makeup works or anything like that.
Yale Sale →
My mom also inadvertently gave me really conflicting messages that I don't think she realizes I retained, like, "Don't dress in a way that will suggest... certain things..." vs, "If you've got it, flaunt it!"
Yale Sale →
The idea of being a girl is so confusing when you are a child who also doesn't relate very well to other children.
turgle
:c
turgle
stickay, let's sit together in a corner and fashion together ;~;
Yale Sale →
YES PLEASE, I would like to fashion with you. 
Yale Sale →
I am 10 years late to the fashion game is what I'm saying.
turgle
omg no i know it took me so long to figure myself out, fashion-wise
turgle
it doesn't help that i tend to waver between dressing like a man and dressing like a woman either
Yale Sale →
Yeah, that... That is also a thing...
turgle
but my whole high school/early college life was marked by astoundingly bad choices
turgle
turgle
so it's tough!
Yale Sale →
Yeah... In middle school my friends actually pulled me aside like
Yale Sale →
"Honey... We love you but you can't dress like this."
turgle
but i've deeeefinitely learned a lot about fashion in general from being into lolita/following boards for it, so i think that's also helped
turgle
cause then you learn abt color matching and accessorizing and all that-- i'm still bad w/makeup though
turgle
let's learn that together
Yale Sale →
Actually stalking some trends on Tumblr has been helping me immensely... Literally going okay THIS looks cute... What do I have that kind of looks like that... How can I put this together...
turgle
yeah! it helps to find out what you like
turgle
and finding ways to incorporate that into your wardrobe
turgle
whether it's colors or patterns
Yale Sale →
Aaaah that's what I'm trying to do... Slowly...
turgle
...dammit this reminds me i still need to chop the bangs on my new wig and get a picture of me in my new(ish) dress
turgle
bc i never showed it off
Yale Sale →
Yes, you should do that. 
turgle
IT'S BTSSB, i'm in loooooove.
turgle
i would totally lolita with you, sticky
Yale Sale →
I am also REALLY SHY about talking about my fashion and makeup and stuff because I like, idk feel like I'm betraying my "don't care about what anyone thinks" mom and "we aren't like those OTHER girls" friends
Yale Sale →
But I know both of those thoughts are incorrect, so.
Yale Sale →
I am dressing nice FOR ME and girls are girls are girls.
Yale Sale →
...are sometimes guys, are girls. are girls.
turgle
yeah!! you don't have to wear makeup bc of what others think
turgle
or to be like other girls
turgle
i mean, if you came to work with full on skull makeup, that'd be different! it'd still be makeup but
turgle
um
turgle
where am i going with this
turgle
ahh....
Yale Sale →
I did that once.
turgle
heh
Yale Sale →
Halloween...
Yale Sale →
No one else dressed up. 
turgle
anyway!!!! it's good to do things for yourself
Yale Sale →
I worried everyone.
turgle
because if you're thinking "i shouldn't do this because i shouldn't care what people think of me," aren't you doing something (well, not doing something) because of what people think!?
turgle
you can't escape!
Yale Sale →
YES, that!
Yale Sale →
That! 
THE HORROR now with real emotes.
THE HORROR now with real emotes.
turgle
i mean sure sometimes it's kind of nice to go out when you're dressed nothing like you normally are and people look at you and compliment you but
turgle
i feel good when i do it
turgle
that's why
turgle
if you want to put on a frilly dress and skull makeup you can do that!
turgle
just be careful not to smudge it
Yale Sale →
God I just want to put on a frilly dress and skull makeup.
Yale Sale →
BUT I'm trying to start small. :')
turgle
one at a time
turgle
i'm a newbie but i'd totally be your lolita mentor...
turgle
well, kind of newbie
Yale Sale →
oh gosh...
oh gosh...
Yale Sale →
This is all also tied into this realization I had the other day!
Yale Sale →
That I'm tired of people treating me... like... a fourteen year old...
Yale Sale →
But I kind of dress like a fourteen year old because I have been dressing the exact same way for most of my life. :|
turgle
dress like a grandpa
turgle
that'll show em!
Yale Sale →
hhheeeeeeh kids these days.
turgle
that's the way
Yale Sale →
SO I'm trying to learn how to dress a little fancier! Because I want to feel like a confident adult who knows how to dress themselves when I'm at work. :>
turgle
aw hey good on you! i liked their clothes
Yale Sale →
And I'm doing a lot of research and experimenting to try and figure out how I can wear the bright obnoxious plastic junk that I love and still look like a respectable adult... Because I want to do both...
turgle
and i figure stuff like that could fit your style too
Yale Sale →
Ooo! :>
turgle
i'm lookin at the front page for women's and yaaaaasssss you would rock these looks
Yale Sale →
I love these kinds of looks...
turgle
and even thrift storing them works too! it's nice to have a base to kind of build off of
Yale Sale →
I am a big fan of a button up. C:
turgle
omg yes you know how it is
Yale Sale →
Also I've noticed that Banana Republic button-ups all mysteriously fit me perfectly like who is making these shirts...
Yale Sale →
So I pick around for those in Thrift Stores... IT'S little stuff like that I'm slowly learning how to do.
turgle
idr about your chest size....but h&m has men's clothing in extra small and that's another cheap way to get button-ups
turgle
esp when they're on sale
Yale Sale →
Oh yeah... Good idea...
Yale Sale →
SO OKAY the big reason I made this plurk is because I'm happy and want to share what I have been doing lately. And hopefully people don't mind me talking about "girly things" or whatever.
And hopefully people don't mind me talking about "girly things" or whatever.
Yale Sale →
But gosh I've been watching makeup tutorials to... figure this out...
Yale Sale →
Because most of my previous attempts at makeup have been met with catastrophic failure... And that's really made me nervous...
turgle
omfg sticky it's your plurk and i think we should all be proud that you're finding stuff you like to wear and that you're happy
turgle
i'm glad =w=
turgle
and good luck omg
turgle
i only ever wear foundation/some eyeshadow
Yale Sale →
a-ah thanks :}
turgle
i want to learn eyeliner but i am astoundingly lacking in....hand...skills...... 
Yale Sale →
YEAH, I'm really going for it this time! I used some of my budget money to buy some okay makeup and threw out all of my seven-year-old junk from high school jdfksld
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
it's fun to be able to manipulate your self-presentation!
Yale Sale →
This is so embarrassing but I bought an actual concealer...
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
nothin wrong with wanting to play with your image, or work several looks depending on what day it is
Yale Sale →
I've never had one before and I tried it this morning and like...
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
nthin embarrassing about that
Yale Sale →
IT... CONCEALS??
Yale Sale →
LIKE MAGIC??
Yale Sale →
I'm so astonished jsfklsdsd 
Yale Sale →
NO I'M JUST embarrassed that I'm so amazed at this magic...
turgle
omg yeah concealer is amazing
Yale Sale →
Where has this been all of my life...
Yale Sale →
Would have saved me ages of feeling awkward in school...
turgle
i usually use a powder foundation; go around the trouble spots with a small brush to really get bad areas and then go over the whole face with a larger brush
turgle
it's amazing how much even that will change.
Yale Sale →
I've got a liquid (kind of) foundation that I'm trying to figure out how to apply the best... I would love to get an actual foundation brush.
Yale Sale →
But yeah, I-I'm really happy with how my face looks today.
turgle
aaah, i'm so glad c:
turgle
I WANNA COME AND VISIT AND WE CAN BE LIKE KIDS AT A SLEEPOVER
turgle
except for how when i fell asleep early, they put makeup on me and i had a minor allergic reaction
turgle
let's not do that part
Yale Sale →
Oh... Yeah we can skip that part...
turgle
oh phew c:
Yale Sale →
We'll skip right to the sparkly lipgloss.
Yale Sale →
I can't believe I've never had concealer before I AM SO AMAZED.
turgle
s-sparkly...
turgle
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF MAGIC
Yale Sale →
I am definitely not doing anything intense with eye shadow.
Yale Sale →
I am just trying to put eye shadow on my eyes at this point.
Yale Sale →
Very light colors...
Yale Sale →
Someday I want to perfect a smokey eye but I'm not confident yet.
turgle
ooh ooh for light colors
turgle
i used to have this eye shadow with whites and stuff
turgle
and i'd do white on the lid itself (light, not too heavy) and then there was this skintone with...some sparkle to it.... and i'd do that above the lid and kind of blend a bit
turgle
it was a neat look
→ yard sard
Im just going to leech off of you two
→ yard sard
I don't girlie very well. at all.
→ yard sard
never had. it's always very awkward for me. :{
Yale Sale →
oh that sounds so pretty... ;3;
Yale Sale →
I am awkward too Red, we're coming from a similar place...
turgle
i used to be rly against it, it took a long time to get comfortable with all this identity + presentation shit
Yale Sale →
Yeah, THAT stuff.
Yale Sale →
My eyeliner was FLAWLESS yesterday... and then it started sliding down my face sjfdksld
Yale Sale →
Almost immediately.
Yale Sale →
So I'm going to try a liquid eyeliner but I am also kind of terrified of stabbing myself in the eye.
turgle
liquid's definitely tougher to start with
Yale Sale →
But I love eyeliner, so...
→ yard sard
I absolutely cannot liquid eyelines
→ yard sard
eyeliner
turgle
if you have any skill painting you'll probably do better than me
turgle
i do not
Yale Sale →
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna take on the curve.
turgle
GO STICKY
→ yard sard
it's just too bold and flat for me I think
→ yard sard
Ive never gotten it to look right
Yale Sale →
I might try and fail for a while, I'm not going to lie.
turgle
that's how we all start
Yale Sale →
lmao my awkward middle school stage has been stretched out over the last ten years
Yale Sale →
I am ready for adult makeup
Yale Sale →
Once my budget rolls over into next month I think I will get some makeup remover wipes or something because dear god.
Yale Sale →
I didn't try eyeliner today because I've... still kind of got some on from yesterday...
Yale Sale →
Like... eh, good enough...
turgle
yesss those things are amazing
Yale Sale →
They're like magic...
Yale Sale →
I'M ALSO JUST... really into cute clothes right now. :{
Yale Sale →
I bought a cute skirt and two leggings yesterday for $15 and go so damn hyped I'm gonna look so cute.
turgle
ooooooh
Yale Sale →
I am currently wearing a skirt I've fallen in love with. ;w;
Yale Sale →
I am really not used to skirts but I don't feel weird in this one...
turgle
just gotta find the right kind!
→ yard sard
I want the ones specifically for cleaning off eye makeup
→ yard sard
we really need some eye makeup cleaner
turgle
well i did learn a way to clean my eyes last night in the shower
turgle
get yourself all soapy, wait for the water to hit you just right and kind of bounce up and shoot soapy water into your eye
Yale Sale →
this sounds intense and dangerous
turgle
it hurt
→ yard sard
perfect yes let's do that
turgle
lifehack
Yale Sale →
hm.
Yale Sale →
OH and I got a compliment on my cool new sweater yesterday so I'm just like /puffs up chest feathers
Yale Sale →
It feels really nice to get complimented gosh.
Yale Sale →
And I might have made a style-building tumblr because I just make tumblrs in times of crisis...
Yale Sale →
BUT YEAH I am feeling good and learning how to do things and I'll probably ask questions and share things as I go along... since it's been a lot of fun so far. :<
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
i fell in love with skirts in korea
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
the right skirt can be so comfy...
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ

Yale Sale →
This skirt has POCKETS...

ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ

Yale Sale →
HAHA I can try to get you one C:
Yale Sale →
I'm just wearing a black long-sleeve shirt on top... I was thinking of a blazer or something or... I had a long sweater picked out...
Yale Sale →
But I just wanted something simple and casual on top
Yale Sale →
I didn't want to look like I was going to a job interview sjdfklsd
turgle
i love....skirts paired with long sweaters
turgle
it's such a cute look
Yale Sale →
I love long sweaters ;3;
turgle

turgle
like the heavens are opening up
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
sounds nice...
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
in warm weather a tank and light cardigan over it all looks really nice i think
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ
layers... laaaaaaaayers
Yale Sale →
I am so weird with cardigans
Yale Sale →
I want my clothes to be secure D: it is weird when something's open in the front like that...
Yale Sale →
but I'm also weirded out by any jeans that aren't skinny jeans anymore because why is there so much extra space around my ankles
Yale Sale →
what am I supposed to do with all of that
Yale Sale →
it's just... there, moving around...
Yale Sale →
MY LEGS DON'T FEEL SAFE
turgle
it's for when you poop while walking
turgle
so the poop can roll out
Yale Sale →
Unflattering angle, you bet.
Yale Sale →
if you're sure, jay
Yale Sale →
if you're sure.
ｐｌｕｖｉｏｐｈｉｌｅ

Yale Sale →
