Those who know me well, also knows that I have a slightly unhealthy relationship to the apocalypse. You could say that we are romantically involved. I always had a fascination for the life after civilization ends. It is a future so unfathomable that it is hard not to ponder over how things might turn out, and when. As there is always the right pair of shoes for every party, and the right dress for every date. So, there is also the right things to wear when civilization crumbles and your neighbours start shooting each other for clean drinkingwater. First of all, a lady needs a handbag that can support her needs while complimenting the rest of her outfit. After some careful search, I ended up with two different bags. Ironically, both of them are from Rothco. To those of you who does not know Rothco, they make the ULTIMATE utility bags while maintaining great style :-)
Rothco Vintage Canvas Paratrooper bag:
W/ Biohazard symbol
3 Inner compartments
1 Outer compartment
15" x 11" x 4"
Adjustable shoulderstrap
The bag easily holds laptop(s), books, clothes, makeup, food, etc.
I use this bag for daily routines as I can carry my laptop, electronics notes and essential urban survival gear in it with ease and also have room for unplanned purchases or aqquirerings. ^_^
Another great thing about the bag is the two D-rings on the back of it. Use them for paracord, gloves, goggles and so on. The strap is adjustable and has a very impressive travel, making it possible to wear the bag comfortable in a variety of different ways (making it compatible with another bag even).
The second bag on my list is a real killer with its great postapoc design. It's smaller than the first bag but it has more compartments, actually a LOT more compartments, making it the ideal GOOD bag for the utilities you need at hand at all times.
Rothco Stonewashed Canvas Mesh bag:
1 Main inner compartment
1 Zipped inner pocket
4 Outer pockets
3 D-rings
1 Mesh compartment on the back
8" x 14"
Adjustable strap
Leather straps to keep pockets in place
This beauty is the ULTIMATE bag for a gear / postapoc / survival-chick<3
It holds everything and keeps your stuff neatly organized, it can even fit a 13" Macbook Pro.
I use it for going out, traveling or other daily tasks that doesnt require me to carry documents with me everywhere. It fits the essentials, and thats exactly what you need it for, having makeup / first aid / tools right at hand is super easy with this baby. You'll never have to search your bag for that annoying bus-card anymore.
The next important thing on the list is footwear. Unfortunately, heels are a no go for this scenario (yes, I know, it is really f*cking horrible :/). I suggest picking up a pair of boots that are both stylish and sturdy. Or at least stylish... I have narrowed down my selection to these:
Why these three pairs?...
To me, chuck taylor knee high's go hand in hand with the end of the world, that might have come off a little negative, but I assure you, I mean it in a loving way. There's just something about a pair of them, slightly covered in dust from the wasteland. They go well with anything, and they're actually quite practical. They might not be the sturdiest things around but they do the job well. The last pair is a Tory Burch design that just makes me want to nail my soul to the devils altar<3
next up, we need to figure out what to wear for our "bottom" part. I would strongly argue against wearing dresses. Even though they give you free movement and you look like an angel. It makes it all the easier to rape you, and you have nowhere to hide your weapons. So, sorry girls, dresses are off the menu. Instead, I propose that you find a sick pair of shorts, or an adorable skirt that you can wear on top of a pair of leggings (get a pair that looks like gartered stockings, because they're sexy, and god forbid that you dont look amazing when the rest of the world doesnt).
If you have the guts for it, buy these Abercrombie & Fitch shorts for men, and then break out your most violent pair of sheers and cut the legs off. <3 they would be perfect.
Wow, look how fast we're getting there! now you just need a top and then the basics are all laid down.
you want something neutral, something black, something with a nine inch nails logo on it, something DIY, something like this amazing piece off of Ebay:
Which I am afraid that you cant, since, first of all, he only made 9, second of all, they're sold out and third of all... they had a pricetag of 300.000$
They price makes sense when you take into account that he is a renowned watchmaker, and it really show in all of his work. and the unique little detail that all of these watches contained pieces from Titanic, which is pretty awesome.
You still need to be able to tell time, so the options are; Do what Alice did and keep a digital sportswatch in your belt, or buy a ringclock:
They arent on the market yet, but they're up for preorder, and they actually arent that expensive, not when you consider the awesomeness and the fact that it has inductive charging <3
You need a coat to wrap all that gorgeousness in, so go find yourself a military parade jacket or an M65 us army jacket. The latter ones are amazingly warm and comfortable in winter :) My pick came down to this lovely Brandit jacket:
I really like the reinforced elbows and wriststrap features on this jacket. =^.^=
the assymetrical bikerlike zipper is a nice touch aswell :)
last of all girls, dont forget to wear a tiara...
...Because you should never be anything less than absolutely fabulous<3
Lots of love and hugs,
Kira <3
