This weekend edition of “I Wore” is dedicated to all those assholes who decided that they could determine what rights gay people have. I’ve partnered (unofficially) with Lily Allen (she doesn’t know) on this post (which she’ll probably never see) to bring you…
The Eff You, Homophobes Outfit:
Peacock feathers seemed like an appropriate pattern for this weekend’s Gay Pride Festival. I chose a couple of ribbed tanks from Marshall’s because IT’S HOT, Y’ALL. My obligatory grey skinny slacks (because they’re thin), and my ultra-femme, quilted bag, with a chain that is detachable for any human rights defending I might have to do (that sucker is like at LEAST 7 lbs. of metal…).
The shirt is a beautiful, sheer, lightweight material and I’ve been dying for a sheer jacket lately. Since this one looks like CRAP when buttoned up, I figured it was makeshift jacket material. The sleeves are pirate-ruffled (an ode to my newest baby, Ghetto Galley) and there is a tie-neck, which I love to just leave hanging. I think it adds major movement, as well as some visual interest.
Plus it looks really stupid when tied properly.
Shirt, Torrid , $32.98 $16.49
Pants, Sele, 15DollarStore.com
Bag, Compose, Mapel (Use “BROKE&BEAUTIFUL20″ for 20% off!), $32 $25.60
Shoes, Steve Madden, Marshall’s, $25
As for Lily’s portion of the post, it’s all in the interpretation. Her newest album contained a song appropriately titled “Fuck You” (Sorry mom, it’s for a good cause!), and some extremely awesome folks created a video using the song, dedicated to all those who voted against gay marriage in California.
It’s genius, and here it is:
Since I couldn’t make the video (done magnificently by StevieDidIt [formerly steviebeebishop] on youtube), I decided to throw in my own fashionable photo to let those who are stifling societal and emotional progress and freedom exactly what I think of ‘em.
Happy Pride! Go forth and be FREE!
xoxo.

Just wanted to say (as a human rights activist/lawyer-to-be) that I love the outfit and the attitude! Future generations will look at this issue in the same way society now views those old statutes that prohibited inter-racial marriages.
