Dress over jeans? Aww the 2000s are truly back haha. This is such a good fit! Serving some real Avril Lavigne vibes!

Great fit!

Just gotta ask though, why is it especially important that a cis dude said it? Idk, maybe I'm too lesbian to understand.

because in my experience cis dudes normally say stuff like "grown ass man in a fucking skirt",, not complimenting me. idk if it's just the area im in but basically the only time i get complimented are by cis women and queer folk,, so this was a big win for me ^^

As someone who lived their teen years in that era - you NAILED it! Even down to the ruffled hem on the shirt, the details are perfect.

Fair! I didn't realize that about the area you live in. I get too much attention from guys, and I was curious.

It does look pretty great. I'm usually pretty basic and only do more creative stuff for costumes or going to shows, but I need to start doing more. I only wish it was warmer where I live since my favorite styles tend not to be warm enough most of the year and my body has always been bad at keeping itself warm. And it doesn't even get all that cold, just cold enough that I can't stay warm. LOL

You'll get addicted to the outlet for self expression :)

Yeah, I already got addicted to local thrift stores as well as the Poshmark app. Lol

I don't really shop anywhere else for clothes other than socks, bras, panties, etc.
