Vintage Y2k Dark Red & Black Plaid Buckled Mini Skirt

🎀 Skirts for Joker Out 🎀

The recent posts about skirts made me decide to create this. Why not let ALL FIVE BOYS join in on the fun and joys of wearing a skirt? Feel the breeze? The freedom? Equal opportunity is never a bad thing after all, isn’t it? 🤭

Thus, I have taken it upon myself to choose fitting skirt styles for each of the lads, based on what I think would suit each of them! 🎀

Bojan Cvjetićanin 💓

Very out there, very flirty and attention-grabbing miniskirts with standout details and more than a few dashes of coquette. Chiffon, fringe, sequins, little bows. His fearlessness and outgoing personality would really shine, and the short lengths ensure that this short king would look as tall as possible. 🤭 Swishy and twirly silhouettes also allow him to shake those hips and twerk.

Kris Guštin 🤍

That ass certainly doesn’t lie. Kris could rock long and short skirts alike, and with those long legs. Soft, delicate fabrics that drape beautifully complement his Greek god-like beauty. A sheer long skirt with a slit would suit him particularly well. He is well-suited to both pretty princess styles with dainty details and cute bows, and high-fashion runway-esque silhouettes that hug that peach of his and would make every jaw in the room drop.

Jan Peteh 🖤

Dark and intense Jan is a natural fit for equally dark, edgy and alternative skirt styles. Black leather, dark lace and mesh, as well as some bondage and lingerie elements such as buckles, straps and hardware, complement his black cat nature and his natural sensual energy. Of course, one cannot leave out the classic red and black plaid kilt-style miniskirt a la Vivienne Westwood, a staple in alternative fashion that just screams Jan.

If any of you know the manga and anime "Nana"...Jan is 100% Nana Osaki coded, both in appearance and personality.

Jure Maček 🩵

Sunny and chaotic Jure is all about showing skin, and a natural fit for Y2K sensibilities, the shorter the better. Playful, youthful denim and summery mini lengths are particularly good styles for him, rips and distressed details optional. When he's feeling especially fancy, a bold feather mini is a particularly good fit, in its unconventional and unexpected chaos...that Jure would absolutely pull off. 😆

Nace Jordan 💜

Nace is the epitome of a lovely fall day. He suits so many autumn-inspired styles in earthy tones of brown, orange, warm purple and muted green, touched with varying degrees of coziness, and both soft and tough details. Naturally, that extends to skirts. From fairy grunge maxi skirts, to "sexy nerd" dark academia style, to army green minis (he has nice thighs, of course I wouldn't deny anyone those thighs)...he can carry them all beautifully!

Thank you for your time, and LONG LIVE SKIRTS! 🖤

I’m currently writing a Bamon fic that basically reimagines TVD, starting with them starting college and with Bonnie as the protagonist. And like I have SO many headcanons I’m gonna incorporate. A lot of them comes from the show but just elevated.

1. Bonnie

My lovely, mistreated Bonnie… boy do I have ideas for you. First of all, she’s going to have some good ass hairstyles. BLACK GIRL hairstyles. I think Bonnie loves to wear curly ponytails with decorated scarves, or like some long knotless braids. AHHH I have some ideas for her hair. But speaking of style, Bonnie loves the bohemian aesthetic. So, air of half tops, waist beads, long skirts, etc (go on Pinterest and type “bohemian black girl, and you’d see what I’m talking about). She wears alot of brown, green, beige and like golden colors. She wears red when she’s feeling spicy. Bonnie is also into candles, HEAVILY, and crystals. She’s not religious but spiritual. And for college, she’s majoring in dance and minoring in occult studies. Her favorite genre of dance is contemporary. And her favorite breakfast is cereal, and she’s most likely a vegetarian. Also I wanna change her background a bit. She actually grew up being raised by her mother and her grandmother. Her father left because he couldn’t or wouldn’t handle with their witch ancestry, when he found out.

2. Damon

Damon’s bisexual. That’s it, that’s the quote. But no seriously, I firmly believe that he is, and I stand by that. And also in my fic, Damon has this kind of… “punk rocker” aesthetic going. Imagine eyeliner, leather jackets with pins, ripped jeans, black and red color pallete. With that being said, he has a SICK fashion sense. He paints his own fingernails, mainly the color black. Another big thing about Damon is that he LOVES music. He is a music fanatic. He adores all the genres and can see the beauty in all of them, and he collects records. He also loves to play various of instruments. He has mastered the piano, the guitar, the violin and the trumpet and other shit too, and he loves to sing but he never sings infront of people. He loves to cook. Whenever he’s frustrated or gets startled, he swears in Italian. And speaking of Italian, Damon and Stefan’s were born in like the late 1400s or the early 1500s in Florence, Italy. And their family portrait was actually painted by the famous painter, Caravaggio. Damon didn’t come to America till the 1920s as he began to admire the American people’s party era.

3. Elena

She actually stays pretty much the same. However, Elena really likes Britney Spears so a lot of her outfits are inspired by her. She wears alot of dark colors, but you will see her in a pink matching tracksuit and a baby blue cropped top. Elena kind of takes every moment to show her belly button. Oh, and she loves cropped jackets. Veryyyyy Y2K going on here. Elena is trynna become a doctor but she’s also minoring in writing.

4. Caroline

I gotta be honest, I have no notes for Caroline cause I think her character in the show was written perfectly enough to be memorable and entertaining. However I think her aesthetic could be boosted up a notch to rest for her image. Caroline wears a lot of bubbly colors. Very bright but also soft color palette, so imagine a lot of soft pinks, blues, whites. She loves to wear plaid skirts and cardigans and sweaters. She’s trying to be a lawyer, which I fully expect from her. Think of Elle Woods without the hot pink.

5. Stefan

Stefan is good ol’ Stefan (except in my head, the version that I like). He’s very athletic, he gives very much sensitive gym bro. And he’s actually kind of passionate about all sports, and watches them regularly. That being said, he also loves writing, specifically poetry. So therefore he’s majoring in writing. Stefan first came to America, following his brother in the 20s. They were trying to make up with each other, and as Damon was trying to teach him how to feed as a normal vampire, it caused Stefan to be the ripper of something something. Basically in the show but different timelines. Oh and Stefan wears the color red and blue a lot, kind of patriotic of him lmao.

Funniest thing on Edd on my opinion? His color-blindness. Seriously, purple with orange...? Whom really? I'm always astonished that Edd, not Ed or the Kankers, do have the worst combination of clothing in the cast. Not to mention that tie in season 5...

tbh, I'm surprised that Eddy, so inclined to fashion, never threw it against him, not even as a little joke.

for sure, @owmylasagna-blog and i share the opinion that his outfit is the worst in the show. no one else comes close honestly. might not be so bad if he wore black shorts instead of purple, and didn't insist on wearing red knee high socks 😬 and then blue shoes? girl... oh and the plaid tie in s5 is baaaaaad. plus the cardigan he wears is an even worse combo with his shorts and socks. i guess the one thing his parents didn't give him a book for was how to put together an outfit. ya can't teach taste i suppose. yikes.

eddy's polo is iconic and i do like the color combo, but if i came across the exact same shirt in real life i'd probably recoil tbh. at least he wears lighter wash jeans, which go with anything. he even coordinates his shoes with the red stripe on his shirt. finally, his tacky little wallet chain adds to the overall y2k vibe that i'm a sucker for.

something about ed's outfit rules tbh. the darker red striped shirt adds some flair when paired with the army green jacket. the dracula collar is pretty swaggy too. and he keeps it simple with darker jeans and black boots. it's a little grungy, which goes well with ed's personality and tastes.

man, i WISH we could've seen eddy roast edd for his outfit in the show. that would've been hilarious. it would absolutely happen at some point. you can only hang out with someone in a high-visibility orange fuckin shirt for so long before you say something. i headcanon edd as wearing strictly neutral colors when he gets older bc i'm so traumatized by his canon clothes.

The Iconic Lookbook Of Cher Horowitz

Cher Horowitz: the resident matchmaker of Beverly Hills and the 1990s It Girl that many aspired to be. Though based off Emma Woodhouse from Jane Austen's Emma, Cher's style is a perfect depiction of fashion in the 90s and an inspiration behind many trends at the time. Mixing bright, colourful and bold pieces with a sense of unparalleled elegance in her simple dresses and self-imposed academic uniform, Cher's style is a timeless wonder.

Cher's wardrobe consists of a multitude of different items. Throughout the film, we see her pair mini skirts with white shirts and blouses to create an elegant effect. For parties, Cher wears slip and bodycon dresses interchangeably creating an Old Hollywood glamour look. However, these dresses still allow her to have a fun and modern appearance in her use of colour: bright reds and snow white allow her to stand out against the other characters, showcasing that she is the main character. At numerous points, we see that Cher has created her own school uniform composed of jumpers, dresses and matching plaid blazers and skirt, all of which present a scholastic appearance. Occasionally, we see Cher wearing cardigans and jeans adding a more laid-back, casual element to her style making her even more relatable than she already was shown to be. Additionally, her matching pyjama sets, though shown few times in the film, showcase how Cher's sense of fashion extends across all occasions - she is even fashionable when asleep, highlighting just how iconic her style truly is.

In each of her outfits she creates a cohesive colour scheme, matching blazers with cardigans, and shoes with dresses. Mixing different textures like satin, denim and cotton, Cher creates comprehensive and stunning outfits. Solid colours create a sense of class and elegance, while bright colours create the youthful and fun image that Cher embodies. Plaid, pinstripes and argyle patterns add to this fun image, making Cher's outfits interesting and unique. It is through Cher's use of patterns that her outfits are made iconic and are admired by viewers (notably the plaid yellow outfit from the beginning of the film which is still iconic to this day).

Cher accessorises all of her outfits perfectly throughout the film. She only wears dainty diamond or pearl jewellery, which can pair with every one of her outfits easily and aids her elegant image. Cher carries handbags and small backpacks with her at school to hold all of her essentials, mixing practicality and fashion all in one. Her shoes are typically heels in different materials and bright colours, which match the other components of each outfit. Additionally, in terms of hair accessories, she wears headbands, hair clips or a beret in order to add the final, finishing touches.

In conclusion, Cher's layered outfits and patterned pieces allowed her to become the founding mother of the y2k style. It is unquestionable that her iconic lookbook shown throughout Clueless made her a style icon for generations to come.

What are some of your harley family headcanons? (His mum, sister, dad??)

oh my god okay okay this is such a loaded question and would probably take me forever to answer in full so i will try to keep this as abridged as possible

mother:

-i usually use the common name in fics for her “Macy” but to me her maiden name is Merriweather for no reason in particular

-i think she works as a waitress/bartender which is alluded to canon but yknow

-i imagine her blonde haired as straw, a young mother but her smile lines show

-loving but definitely distant. she tries, but being a single, low income mother to two, who struggles with undiagnosed mental health issues of her own and mild alcoholism has made her rather uninvolved. while i believe she’s unconditional in her love, she’s not very present in showing it. harley was raised mostly on his own because of this

-she’s not the biggest fan of tony stark, and certainly doesn’t get star struck, but she doesn’t hate the man

father:

-deadbeat asshole who was 100% an alcoholic/addict

-i don’t have a name preference for him, it kind of changes if i mention him by name in a fic. but i never call him james and never will

-probably fucked off to nevada or something

-definitely gave harley a rough time for being different than the other kids

sister

-i use the name abbie/abby from peachy, but also sometimes abigail kennedy “AK”. once or twice mentally ive used the name piper too but usual just stick to abbie

-i think she cut her own bangs when she was in middle school and fucked up so harley tried to help her by watching youtube video tutorials and ever since he has just been the one that cuts her bangs for her in their cramped bathroom

-she’s got lots of freckles and a little gap between her two front teeth

-had a bit of a rebellious phase in high school and liked to casually flirt with boys and girls, following in her brothers footsteps a bit by becoming the latest gossip topic. this was her form of grieving once harley moved away to NY. she had a genuine summer-time romance with a traveling hippie family’s daughter one year, and mellowed out after that. eventually i think she decided to go to community college but hated it and dropped out, then took a gap year just traveling. eventually she ended up in new york too, either doing something in the arts, or continuing her education and working at SI in design. she meets a muslim woman, and eventually they get married, and have two kids through IVF. they take frequent trips to rose hill and eventually move back to tennessee in a kinder rural town, and they have their own garden and chickens

-she once took in a stray tabby cat

-she knows harley‘s gay before he tells anyone. even if she didn’t know the word to it, she just knew the concept of harley with a girlfriend just didn’t make sense

-she likes y’allternative music

-has a tendency to lay on sun spots on the carpet

-master at checkers, domino train, and any card game in the books

-collected my little pony dolls as a kid

-smoked cigarettes for a couple years before stopping

-prefers red wine over white

-very into denims, plaids, florals, and country bumpkin mud-stained clothes as a kid, darker alternative y2k inspired clothes as a teen, and modern french/classy vintage style clothing as an adult

-grew up running wild, barefoot, and free. her favorite place to hang out in rosehill is a old drive inn theatre, which is where she met that girl one summer
