Haha... well... yes. The way I deal with a lot of things can be stereotypically masculine (I've been told). Relationships, phone calls, profanity, etc. But clothes and accessories... That's where my "femininity" tends to shine. That, and bath products. Shit I love lotion and soap.
While I can be fond of a bit of androgyny with my style every so often, I lean on the girl side of things most of the time. I love colors, patterns, and texture.
Handbags: I have a few. A larger one for classes (I need to carry a notebook, combat gloves, whatever else, etc), green and purple, sort of Art Nouveau (which I love). A black clutch for nicer occasions. A white paint splatter clutch for funsies. A brown leather handbag/clutch thing... they work well for whatever I need to be dressed for.
Shoes: I do not allow myself to be nearly as obsessed with shoes as I think I'd like to be. With all the moving back and forth I do, it isn't practical to have a lot of shoes. All the same... with me here at school... I have 12 pairs. I use all of them.
Accessories: I have a lot of fun with these. Scarves, earrings, belts, necklaces... I have a lot. And I really enjoy coordinating them in preparation for something. I won't even bother naming all the shit I have. Oh. I also have a pair of glasses that have wine red frames. They look goooood. I can rarely commit to hats.... but I do have a white fedora.
I have a lot of simple things I can pair with things I want to showcase, and I try to go for things that have a classic appeal and won't go out of style by next week. And my goal is to look good, but not like I tried too hard to get that way. I'm pretty successful. This is all when I have time to worry about it and I'm not running to class in a t-shirt and jeans (like this morning).
I'm not big on designers, I just want it to look good and be well made. I do take a few cues from them, though. I think you can have a lot of fun with fashion once you stop worrying what people think it means if you enjoy it. In moderation, of course.
