I have my own sense of fashion.

Perhaps a lack there of.

Either way, I wear a unique mix of clothing, probably as eclectic as my music collection. With the start of a new story, this aspect of my life found a way into the story–though I am not Effie and she is not me. It is just that I was able to give her a love for vintage clothes that I share.

Effie, of course, wears them better than me. 😉

She never looks like a mushroom.

Okay, that’s mostly my hat, admittedly, but it does an excellent mushroom impression. A psychedelic mushroom, that is. It almost matches my coat of awesomeness, which is why I’m willing to brave the wilds–that is, show my face at my niece’s school–with a mushroom hat.

It looks even better when you add in accessories like pseudo-hippie glasses and headphones for an mp3 player.
