Drip or Drown
CC BYDress up
Play with your clothes
"Who are you dressing for?"
Me. Who else would I be dressing for?
Hot pink or black
Gold or silver
Orange or green
All these colors to style and wear
I dabble in makeup
Eyeshadow or blush or lip gloss
I don't wear it for boys
I wear it cause it's cool
Aesthetics are encouraged
Steampunk, emo, weirdcore, or Y2K
Judgment is a sin
So come as you are
Most importantly:
Enjoy your clothes and style
You're only dressing for you
So drip or drown
