Tux jacket with short black skirt. Or long black skirt with a wicked slit.
Or not a tux jacket, but maybe this sort of jacket: [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It seems like Tumblr is full of 14 year olds who think they're inventing fandom*. Weirdly, I can believe that within the very narrow confines of Tumblr-fandom, a lot of those girls identify as queer.
* That we** exist seems to kind of freak many of them out.
** I include myself in that "we" even though I am far from a fannish elder because I was online before some of them were born.

The Tumblr meme of "reblog if you're over 16!!!" will never not be funny to me. Kiddos, I have shoes older than some of you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that might be key--focus the jacket, with just cami stuff underneath.
My eyes roll at a lot of this, because YOU ARE OLDER THAN THIS. YOU KNOW BETTER. FEW FANDOMS ARE PREDOMINANTLY QUEER, Not the ones we're talking about anyway.
I wore my pewter ballgown skirt to the last one. I wonder if the bubble gum pink one still fits.

Oooh, that sounds like a good combo. Bubble gum pink skirt and awesome black tux-like jacket.
I think I'm going to start adding long skirts (and petticoats) back into the daily wardrobe, come autumn. I've been seeing a lot of them I like, lately.

Oh, absolutely. But some of the TumblrGirls have a very limited sense of the larger fandom ecosystem.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
sarameg,
I was listening to NPR while driving to lunch and I heard the opening segment and after that, I clicked off the radio. I was just not in the mood to be crying openly in a rental car in a Mexican food parking lot.
I'll save that for the bathroom at home, thank you.

That is a very special and rare mood, it must be said.
