Working Rock Outfit (Gals) Screw the Heat

Having these days lately in hot summer days while being a working young lady its tough.

Wearing blazers and dark colors isn't helpful either. Black cotton can absorb the sun and burn you more than if you were closed in a tanning booth (....maybe I just exaggerated just a little).

However, for those of you who still want to rock it. You can always go with a tank top and a white vest  with a dark blue or grayish skirt and a pair of panty hose or lacy leggings. Check out your local thrift stores. Believe it or not I actually found a vest similar to the one you see here in white with less buttons and in black. It goes well with a light top you can easily find for cheap at a thrift store or on sale within trendy places like the one below which is from Necessary Clothing.

Check out Rockinlicious tumblr and you will find soon enough pictures of my rendition of a rocking work outfit. You gotta make do with what you can do right? I am looking out for the alternative guys out there, too. Expect a summer outfit for guys and a dating combo for both guys and gals soon enough.

Chika Chika Bombs for News!

Hello! Hello! Long time no post! Classes have been more busy and challenging and now I know some Japanese. So for some of you who do Kobanwa! ("goodnight" since its 7 pm here)

the old banner

Having so much time since the last blogpost, I had a lot of ideas that might interest you guys. And I was thinking of having any of these as a constant part of this blog/magazine (did you know in Japanese magazine means zaashi?!) such as an anonymous advice column or a suggestion coming from you guys. Any suggestion you can give that will make this zaashi blog more interesting and engaging will be welcome at (cupcakeriot45@aol.com) or even in the commenting box below this post. Credit will given to you for the suggestion :)
And on that note, I would like to tell you guys: Rockinglicious now has a tumblr! I thought why not post random memes or things that are part of the alternative-style culture! So far, there is one post but hopefully I would be able to get more posted there. Oh, and Rockinglicious has a facebook too if you want to check updates straight from your facebook news feed, just hit like! (pwease?). I will hopefully be on the trail for some new interviews with underground bands, designers, and random people.

an alternative-styling fairy-tale

In other news, found a fraja-listic tumblr of a designer called KyleX who posts pictures of alternative styling related things ranging from the clothing he makes and wears, to random memes like this one:

I definitely recommend checking out his tumblr for new ideas on a new outfit (or just look at the crazy stuff people wear sometimes). Beware some of the content might be above the PG-13 rating of content (like spiked underwear o.o?) but hopefully you will dig his tumblr and funky crunchy dub-step music playlist.
