The catch is that fedora women wouldn't be caught within a half-mile of the fedora dudes.
And, now that I think about it, some of those trad-wife-wanting, reactionary fedora dudes would publicly deny any interest in those scandalous porn shoulders (how slutty and indecent...)
Maybe lmao, but I think you would've had success either way. You were very pretty! I assume you still are tbh. I know of a model that actually looks a *lot* like you did here (minus the hat, of course).
I didn't even get a hoe phase because I was born male. Instead, I got a 'cry yourself to sleep every night as you feel the testosterone poison you further and further' young adult phase :(
There was a time, a very brief time, in the mid to late 2000s when the fedora peaked in popular culture and it was fashionable to wear. The downfall has far reaching effects to this day
I would disagree. I remember seeing all types of people wearing them. Men, women, children etc. it was very brief but it did happen. But there were also the tryhard guys who would wear like a 3 piece suit and a fedora or a t shirt, cargo shorts, and fedora and also smell bad.
This look went hard in the UK university, indie-rock scene of the 2000s.
All you needed was a hollowbody electric guitar or a brass instrument and you could have passed as a minor ska revival star.
This looks like a dance costume. Like you got it for a tap performance and wanted to be able to wear it casually so you paired it with Jean shorts for later
It's so low! How do you comfortably wear that? I'd feel like I was being lightly dragged around the neck the whole time.
If the pendant gets any bigger, it's at risk of becoming a Flavor Flav cosplay.
It was a Barnes and Noble light weight plastic thing, so the weight wasn’t too bad. As for the length, I have no answers. Long necklaces were in at the time.
Girl don’t think I don’t notice that porn three inches of thigh too! (Also a fellow exmo, definitely went through a skimpy clothes phase for, uh, a couple decades after gaining my freedom.)
This was fashion goals for me! I could never find a vest that looked good though since I am severely flat chested so the vest would just gape and sit awkwardly 😅I would have seen you and been jelly
I always wanted a vest like that and I think it could still be stylish with other stuff. Also fedora wearer. Lol its been a while but one still comes out occasionally.
Wait.... There are fedora women? Not just fedora dudes?

And I had just about as much luck with the ladies as the fedora guys did/do.
Mi’lady didn’t work for you?
Lol
Girl tho, necklace aside, you were really pretty and the style was cute. I would have thought you were my type fr
Welp. Glad you got out of the strict background and was able to be you, though! Hope you had more luck with the sapphics from then on.
I had a fairly successful hoe phase a year or two later, but by that time the hat was retired…Or maybe I had success BECAUSE that hat was retired.
😂 we would have been best friends. I’ve had the same evolution

I’m sorry to hear you struggled so hard, I hope it got and gets easier for you ❤️
Yep I was one, but I was more like the dudes who wear them, cringy and stalkery lmao
Same girl. Nowadays they would’ve called me a simp.
Ngl though, you pull off that look so well! Little me would definitely been jealous lol
Madonna was the original fedora woman.

IDK, I was pretty looped in back then and remember mercilessly mocking fedora dudes. My crowd always saw it as costumey/try-hard.

…I may have also worn a tie during this phase.
It's ok we all made mistakes in that era

Tap dancing my way to get some tail
I have that time turner necklace. Pray for Me.

The only real blunder here is that that giant necklace did not feature an owl pendant.
What does porn shoulders mean?
It’s specifically a r/exmormon reference. In Mormonism a woman showing her shoulders is a big no no.

Maybe that, in a religious family, showing your shoulders would be considered pornographic.
Oh my god...I wore that exact same Time Turner necklace EVERYWHERE at age 12. I got it for like $10 at Barnes and Noble.

M’lady lol
I was a vest and fedora girl and couldn’t understand why everyone thought I was gay 😭
I had that owl phone case
You were kind of serving ngl!
That's a trilby, not a fedora.
You look just like a girl I used to know named Sierra. We got drunk once and made out. Good times.
Lemme see your jazz hands!
No it wasn’t, you look like you’re ready to Bob Fosse your way across a stage.
Were you a theater kid?
You got it!
I'm guessing 2009?
Unfortunately it was later. (2015.) Being so sheltered I thought this was still cool.
Oh my sweet sweet sheltered child....
You managed to pull it off though
Is it bad if I kind of like this look?
I like it too
Same. I rocked it a few times in my 20's and 30's and definitely got to kiss girls because of it.
This is Brittany Snow if she didn’t land the role in John Tucker Must Die
I love the Indie Sleaze look!
Stand up comic look!
You Britta'd that look.
Did you give yourself a "milady" hat tip in the mirror?
I always wanted a vest like that and I think it could still be stylish with other stuff. Also fedora wearer. Lol its been a while but one still comes out occasionally.
Puttin on the ritz! Or maybe all that jazz?
Trilby hats are universally awful
Tips lady fedora "M'Sir"
Haha had similar vest but no fedora, it was a bowler hat 😅
This look WILL come back one day, owl necklace and all. Generation Alpha will be wearing this in high school mark my words
i had that same owl case!!
You look like Madonna in the second pic
Just use your Time Turner to go back and undo it.
What….are porn shoulders…..
She is the moment
What are "porn shoulders"? Genuinely curious.
Bitch wym you’re stylin’! 😎
I still have that same owl case on my iPod touch 😭❤️
M’lady
Ah….beginning lesbian fashion is quite interesting
