I have something fun for you guys! Last year before I put away all the Christmas I thought it would be fun to do a post for 2022 on all of my Christmas attire! So I set up the boobless model and created a "look book".
The sweatshirt you see here is my most favorite! It has puffy paint bears all over it doing all the holiday fun! I picked this up about 8 years ago at a thrift store. It's dated 1991.
Here is a close up:

This next sweatshirt is some good ol' fashion nightmare fuel! I bought it at a thrift store 8 years ago and not too surprising it even still had it's original tags on it. Who would wear this for serious?
I bought it for PB and here he is wearing it in 2014. He obviously has out grown it so I squeeze myself into it for Christmas parties sometimes when I want to look really whacked out.

This is a bear-ed up Christmas turtle neck. It is a huge size and I got it originally for Mr. Husband but he couldn't bring himself to ever wear it. But I LOVE 80s-90s Christmas Bears in a sarcastic way so it has become mine.

Here is another turtleneck that I picked up from a thrift store clearance rack. I thought at first it looked tame in this photo and why did I even buy it . But then I wound up wearing it 2 days into this holiday season for the event I'll be sharing in the next post! It "clashed" really well with my red hair!

Now we are getting into the bought-brand-new items, which is normally not my thing.
I got both of these from Walmart for super cheap.
First is this Boston Terrier turtle neck:
And no, this isn't the back of the model or a dude model.. It just has null boobs. I'll have to give her a stuffed bra next photo shot.
Close up (I think they may actually be French Bulldogs...but in my house they are Bostons!)

Cute Christmas Kittens!
I bought 3 of these shirts (S-M-L) several years ago for Mr. Husband, PB, and I to wear together some place. Only I didn't realize they weren't unisex and were girlie fitted and had capped sleeves which doesn't work on men's bodies...but I kept them anyway and wear which ever one fits me each season with my fluctuating weight.

And part of a late entry into this gay apparel...accessories!
I didn't even think about showing you all some of my icing until yesterday so I snapped a few cruddy pics to share.
I made these bear earrings from some mini ornaments I picked up at an estate sale.
I bought these rings 20+ years ago for my mom and I. They are retro flicker rings with one view of Santa and the other says "Sears has everything".
I bought these earrings on a card of ten pairs from Dirt Cheap several years back. I kept these two pairs and gave the others away as gifts.
And these are my crown jewels! Or toe jewels? I bought these Converse at the flea market for 4 bucks 25 years ago. They are a green and red plaid, green soles, a wreath graphic around the star, and the back of the high top has a jingle bell! I only wear them on Christmas or for gatherings so I plan on them outlasting me.
If you need more gay and tacky Christmas, check out my blow out Tacky Holiday party I did for PB's 5th grade class (see my bear tree skirt turned apron!) and a set of tacky sweater stockings he and I made for his cousins a few years back:
Wow, Mary! First of all, those Converse are *amazing*!!! I would wear the heck out of them! Also loved that panda shirt at the top of the post and the doggie turtleneck. I didn't see that at my WalMart :( Would have bought that for sure! The retro Santa ring was really cute, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennilee! When it comes to Christmas attire I say keep it tacky! I am on the look out for something for Mr. Husband, he doesn't enjoy outlandish holiday outfits. I need to find him a refined simple shirt that also is massively covered in santas and trees and candy canes!
