Levi's 'Distressed Denim Skirt' - $110.00

Thanks to a new photo posted by Sabrina we finally get a closer look at some of the discernible details on Taylor’s cute denim skirt she wore to the zoo in Australia last month. Per the distinctive pattern on the back pocket, this is most likely a distressed Levi's skirt - or in the very least a reworked one repurposing Levi’s denim like EB Denim's work as pictured in detail shot and retailing here.

Get the look: Madewell, $98.00 / Old Navy, $35.00

But Daddy I love him - analysis and why I think Taylor reveals the real WB in it.

*Disclaimer: This is only my personal opinion.  I respect the Native American culture and my intend is not to offend anyone when linking Taylor to Lakota.

If you wanna skip to the part about WB, scorll to the end ;=)

Something that stood out for me was the shape / design of the lyrics of BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM

The lyrics are placed inside a triangle shape, which could represent the Lakota symbol. (it could also be a sandclock and 2 triangles but lets go with the lakota)

Its the Lakota symbol for Sun-Earth Connection. The inverted triangle on top symbolizes the stars and/or the Sun. The triangle on the bottom symbolizes earth sites. The Lakota strongly believe that there is a powerful connection between the Sun and the Earth.

It’s also believed that there are still earth and star maps, but they’re kept secret and rarely shown to others that don’t belong to the tribe. This is because these maps mark some of the Lakota people’s most sacred sites in the Black Hills.

The question is: Why Lakota, whats the connection? I get that Karlie is the sun but since when does Taylor have connections to Native American tribes? Well I googled Taylor + Lakota found something else from 2018:

Taylor Swift Denim Shorts by Madewell | POPSUGAR Fashion

Taylor wore an Elizabeth and James Lakota-T-Shirt in 2018 in London, before her REP concert.

So we got the FIRST Betty / James connection here. Karlie is Betty. Taylor is James.

This is form 2018. It’s a pride shirt. But we didnt know that Taylor was James back in 2018 .

But lets get back to the lyrics of BDILH. I think the first part is a conversation she is having with TS the brand.

I forget how the West was won

Well If you believe this is a reference to history then the answer is: a combination of exploration, settlement, conquest, and economic development (the discovery of gold for example). In conclusion: the west was won (taken) by white men. So Taylor makes it very clear in the first sentence. This is a song about power and money regarding TS the brand.

Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it

The phrase also implies a sense of determination or resilience, as it suggests that despite the challenges or obstacles. Taylor (the person, not the brand) is still striving to overcome them and rise above the situation.

They slammed the door on my whole world

The one thing I wanted

So white men, Sarahs and Hannahs (the heteronormative environment, also known as hetlors) forced Taylor to stay in the closet, because a queer Taylor woulnt make as much money as the straight Taylor Swift brand. Nice. I would be pissed as well.

Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

Running with a dress unbuttoned could symbolize feeling exposed or unprepared, as if one's defenses or usual barriers are down. I guess what she tries to say is that she never learned to speak for herself but something has changed (she met Karlie / or wanted to come out) and all of a sudden she needs to find a way.

Screaming "But Daddy I love him!"

I don’t think this has anything to do with her asking her dad for approval. I mean sure, maybe Scott didn’t accept her but I think she tried to point to Ariel – where this quote is from. The theme of love's power to overcome obstacles and the courage required to follow one's heart.

I'm having his baby

This could be a metaphor for : I am coming out

No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

Exactly what she said.

I'm telling him to floor it through the fences

But she wants to take action - maybe an agreement between her and her management?

No, I'm not coming to my senses

This is not a phase

I know he's crazy but he's the one I want

I am not gonna change. I love her.

So the next verse is interesting. I think she is having a flashback to an earlier situation, where she fell in love with a girl (maybe Emily?) and she didnt do anything because she was too young, too much of a good girl or simply scared.

Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid Tendrils tucked into a woven braid Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all He was chaos, he was revelry Bedroom eyes like a remedy Soon enough the elders had convened Down at the city hall "Stay away from her" The saboteurs protested too much Lord knows the words we never heard Just screeching tires and true love

Now she is back in the present and she is not scared anymore. So if she cant be with this person (Karlie) she will be the one who will take actions:

I'll tell you something right now I'd rather burn my whole life down Than listen to one more second of all this griping and moaning I'll tell you something about my good name It's mine alone to disgrace I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing

Uhh girlie is pissed about how they treated her back than. As she should! Fuck white old men.

There's a lot of people in town that I Bestow upon my fakest smiles Scandal does funny things to pride But brings lovers closer We came back when the heat died down Went to my parents and they came around All the wine moms are still holding out But it's over.

But also fuck her fans who defend her straighness like its the only thing that matters about Taylor. WTF. Anyways, she said it herself. Scandal does funny things to pride and brings lovers closer! Maybe so close, they write songs together and start a family?

Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun and even my daddy just loves him

So the dress is not unbuttoned anymore, she is living a private live with her love (and the sun is Karlie), and eventually her team (dad) got around.

I'm his lady, and oh my God You should see your faces

Yes I wanna see those hetlor faces when she reveals that they are married with kids :P

Time, doesn't it give some perspective No, you can't come to the wedding I know he's crazy but he's the one I want

So this is basically giving hetlors the boot. They had so many chances accepting her and catching on. Instead they shipped her with men and defended her straightness.

I'll tell you something right now you ain't gotta pray for me

Oh.. and don’t forget to pray away the gay.

OKKK. so now the interesting part about WB.

Me and my wild boy and all of this wild joy

She uses wild twice. Pretty uncommon for her. But Wild boy could be WB. the real Willam Bowery.

He was chaos, he was revelry If all you want is gray for me Then it's just white noise, and it's my choice

This could be about her beards and how her fans only want her with men.

The gray part is the opposite from colors - screaming colors - rainbow colors.

But I guess she doesnt care anymore and she does whats right for her and Karlie (and their family).

anyways, I am usually not doing analysis and maybe this is 100% incorrect but I' ve tried :P

Love your love for Tracy's clothes and style. She has such a great approach to fashion and her wardrobe. Would you be able to share the items you've purchased of hers and which ones you love most? Thanks hope you're doing great!!

Oh, this is so fun! I have a lot of her clothes...so I'm gonna put this all below the cut so no one else has to look at the amount of money I've actually spent on clothes...

Madewell High Rise Patch Pocket Denim Shorts I love these, they fit me super well & I can pair them with about any shirt I want to. Tee, tank, cropped, sweatshirt. It all works. Definitely a regular item in my wardrobe in the summer.

Free People Lexden Black Denim Overalls I don't wear these as often, maybe because I'm a homebody who doesn't go out much, but I do love them. They're a super cute look, they're just not in my rotation much. I'm glad I have it as a staple piece in my closet though.

Vurori Performance Joggers (I'm not sure if Tracy was wearing Black Heather or just Black, I bought Black Heather) Never have I ever spent so much on a pair of sweatpants, but my god, they're the most comfortable thing in the world and I constantly am wearing them around my house. 10/10 recommend these, even though the price is a bit steep!

Urban Outfitters BDG Ryder Boyfriend Overall in Vintage Slash I love these overalls! I didn't know how I'd feel about sporting overalls again since the 90s, but I love the ripped look. Not something I get to wear often because I live in New England and it's cold so often, but I do bring them out when it's warm enough!

Lululemon Halfzip Scuba I hardcore mocked this pattern when I first saw Tracy in it, but then I saw it in a Lululemon, and I actually loved the pattern. It's one of the most warmest, and most comfortable things I've ever purchased. I have this on frequently, and even use it as my "coat" sometimes when bracing the cold.

Vuori The Rise The Shine Dad Hat Love a good hat, I am always throwing this on when I'm running errands!

Veja V-10 Lace Up Sneakers  Not a huge sneaker person.....until I bought these. They're fashionable but comfortable. Love to just wear them out with a pair of jeans.

Wilfred by Aritzia The Ganna Shirt Jacket in Dry Basil My first "I can't believe I just spent that on an item of clothing," piece. I love this coat. It's so soft. It fits me really nice, cause I'm super small, but this isn't too long in the arms like most things are! I wear this as my coat a lot when it's not super cold. Or just with some jeans as a full outfit. Either works.

Aviator Nation Ninja Pullover in Vintage White Another, "Did I really just spend that much on a sweatshirt?" piece. I just got this last week, so I haven't worn it out into the wild yet, but it's super soft!

Okay, I think that is it for Tracy clothes? I might be missing some, but I can't remember anything else right now. I have a handful of Hailey clothes, but I thought I'd just stick to Tracy here. I love how clean and simple her wardrobe seems to be and how I can adapt it into my own style as well.

My favorite pieces I've bought if I had to narrow it down to three: 1. Vuori performance joggers 2. Lulu Scuba 3. Madewell denim shorts

What a fun question, thank you, anon!

[possibilistfanfiction]

Hi, may you please spare some advice on what casual, but also cool in a hot climate, clothing a baby butch could look into wearing that’s a bit fashionable and isn’t just a shirt and a cargo shorts?

whew first of all donate any & all cargo shorts immediately (pretend tan france is telling you that Urgently). i do understand finding shorts can be kind of weird depending on ur body shape bc men’s shorts are often bulky & long. i prefer a 5’ inseam, but you can go for a 7’ if that feels better. under No circumstances should ur shorts hit ur knees lol. madewell has some pretty good options (if you can find one that’s mens & womens in-store that’s the best). pacsun usually has some pretty chill options. for online shopping, bearbottom shorts is not too expensive & has a lot of colors in both 5’ & 7’ shorts. i really like the swim shorts both& just made (not sure if they’re sold out). get lighter colors in the summer if you want for shorts, & just… no khaki.

& i love a t-shirt, but it’s in how it’s worn. i don’t think it even needs to be an interesting t-shirt, but it should have a fit & pov that looks intentional. i like to get my t-shirts a size up & tuck them in, sometimes pair them with an overshirt. if i know i’m going to be SWEATING & i want to wear a tshirt, i’ll wear something looser & actually thicker cotton in either black or white. i’ve had top surgery so i can wear tanks without stress but if binding is a concern, both& has some great tanks for ppl who bind.

if you do want to be more dressed up than a short/t-shirt combo, the answer is & will always be linen. a short sleeved linen button up (from really anywhere you like that fits well — uniqlo has both men’s & women’s in many earthtones for under $50!) is The Key. put it on as an overshirt over your t-shirt or wear it buttoned halfway in a french tuck. i prefer to stay away from patterns & bright colors bc it can easily look a little zany, but do your thing there. i have a few pairs of linen pants i also love, especially for things like taking my wife on a date, or if it’s just a cool day/nighttime activity etc. literally just… linen button ups & linen pants, even drawstring pants! if you wanna ball out, theory makes my favorite linen pants, but oak + fort is a close second & much more affordable. everlane also has all of these pieces in mens & womens & is very high quality!

idk ur shoe situation but two great options are always birkenstocks (the rubber ones are under $50 & v comfortable) and/or all white low air force 1s. a good all white sneaker is a great starter sneaker & will always go with everything. i myself prefer dunk lows but u gotta rly be wanting to invest in some sneakers to do that lmao but if you are! they’re cool

lastly, small accessories go a long way! i have a few chains, a small hoop earring, a ring (& my wedding ring but lol i don’t think we can count that as an accessory), & then sunglasses i love. i have a Beautiful watch from my wife but literally just a watch w a normal watch face & a leather band is better than nothing or wearing a smart watch out when there’s quite literally no need lol. a good baseball cap, either plain black or from a cool brand (mine for this summer is aime leon dore) is both a nice addition & also practical. do not & i mean Do Not carry around a backpack unless u Absolutely have to lol. masc cross body bags or canvas totes are much better if u need a bag

also:

- you can find tons of overshirts thrifting or at outlets! since they don’t have to fit perfectly it can be a great place to look for them

- i live & die by a good pair of light wash denim in the summer. allsaints & madewell always have beautiful denim, but you can look at levi’s as well, or thrift!

- tailoring is not expensive!!!!!!!!! if u find pants u love that are too long, just get them hemmed! fr it’s like $10, everyone needs a good tailor

- never underestimate a good sweatshort/t-shirt/overshirt/birks moment to go get a cup of coffee or something… 10/10

- i have definitely not been in a place financially to do this in the past, so pls take this w a grain of salt & of course do what’s best for your budget, but higher quality, simple fabrics ethically made are ALWAYS going to be best. they’ll last longer & keep their fit. launder ur clothes carefully too! hang drying pants & heavy cotton will get their lifespan to extend. & it’s 100% cool to find brands u love & stick to them. if u find a piece u like, u can get it in a few colors, rather than trying to find a bunch of other stuff. quality > quantity, capsule wardrobes are easier to wear & maintain

- some ppl whose fashion i like rn: courtney williams, arike ogunbowale, shanice van de sanden. & sue bird knows how to wear a short/button up summer set with the best of them. kristen kish Obviously. (& also i love mal from the queer ultimatum lmfaoooo)

- wear whatever u want, just not cargo shorts :)

Idle thoughts on the way cities should be able to function and overreliance on corporations to do civic good, but...

So the mayor of New York's proposed budget cuts would eliminate, among other things, our community composting programs and weekly collection sites. This doesn't mean I can't drop off my compost anymore; there's a local grocery store with a brown bin who let me if I ask (they have before when I had to miss our Friday collection slot because I was working), but it does feel extra weird and obnoxious to do a year before compost collection is going to become mandatory city-wide anyway.

And I have electronic waste I need to drop off somewhere. The city doesn't do regular e-waste pickup, despite also forbidding this stuff from being thrown in the regular garbage. There's a special collection event that comes to my neighborhood like twice a year. I can virtually never make it because I'm always working on Saturday mornings.

I used to be able to take my e-waste to Best Buy, but the one reasonably close to me closed this past year and now I'm just stuck with this stuff in my apartment until I figure out where else to take it.

A few years before the pandemic, a luxury housing/commercial development opened just south of my neighborhood, with tons of chain and big box stores that everyone was very, very excited about and I thought from the beginning were eyesores and also just entirely the wrong direction for the neighborhood to be going--Modell's, Michael's, a Bareburger, a Walgreen's, Sephora, Ann Taylor Loft... and yeah, some of the time they made shopping easier. I avoided them, but can't honestly say I never used them.

Fully half of them closed in the pandemic. Because they actually had no stakes in the neighborhood!

And it's not that I don't want Best Buy or Madewell, etc. to do electronic and denim recycling! But they become the go-to resources for doing it, so the city government doesn't make provisions for it, and then they pack up and leave because they never actually considered themselves part of the neighborhood...

[wafflesetc]

You have mentioned in the past buying clothes / brands Tracy has worn. Can you share a few things you have purchased and your thoughts?

I do have a pretty good footprint of her closet. (And when I say closet, the closet we have seen her in.)

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Fleece Funnel Neck in Liquidize Camo Jacquard Ancient Copper/ True Navy 

The Great The College Sweatshirt in Dusty Blue & The Great The College Sweatshirt in Varsity Grey 

Veja V-10 Lace Up Sneakers in Extra White/Black

AllSaints Black Leather Biker Jacket (not her exact one but very similar)

Madewell Blue High-Rise Denim Shorts, Button-Front Edition

Vuori Performance Jogger

These are the things that I have of hers that I wear on a pretty regular basis. I've always been a big Madewell and Lululemon fan, as well as Vuori, so I had previous pieces of from the brands that I love. My jeans are all Madewell and I will be a lifelong customer there.

She really turned me onto the brand The Great and I've gotten some other things from there which I love!

My thoughts are quality over quantity - I'd rather spend a little more for good quality. Her closet is mostly reasonable things, or at least within reason. She definitely has some things that are more expensive, but she seems to get good wear out of those things that are more costly. I also do a lot of searching for second hand items on sites like Poshmark.

Check out @spiridakosstyle for more of Tracy inspired things!

Do you have recommendations for high waist denims that would flatter a petite hourglass type figure? I have noticed that low rise skinny jeans look good on me. mid-rise skinny looks meh and I can never find the proper high waist ones because they never fit properly (either too tight at the hips or too big at the waist).

If you struggle with finding a hip-to-waist ratio that works for you, look into brands of jeans that offer both "curvy" and "petite". A few that I've seen recommended are:

Style & Co Petite Curvy-Fit Skinny Jeans ($19.99 USD)

Levi's 311 Shaping Skinny Jeans ($59.99 USD)

Madewell Petite Curvy Roadtripper Skinny Jeans ($79.50 USD)

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love High Rise Super Skinny Ankle Jean ($90 USD)

Universal Standard Seine High Rise Skinny Jeans ($98 USD)

Any of the Good American petite jeans ($89-$140 USD)
