proud boy scout

Hello dollies! Thanks a million for all the birthday well-wishing; y'all are the sweetest!!

Here's a quick outfit post to share with you. I am wearing some old Boy Scout trousers and a '60s Rockmount western shirt I snagged on eBay way back in 10th grade.

I'm crazy about these new-to-me Boy Scout slacks, thrifted for $10 (I got the matching shirt, too-- it's too big but covered in nifty pins and badges). They're great rough-up pants for mundane stuff like early morning classes and late nights in the library. I guess I'm a regular ol' cross-dresser over here, 'cause my two other favorite pairs of pants (these and these) are also originally for the lads. The only inexpensive vintage womens' pants I can ever seem to find are the ubiquitous, tapered-leg '50s/'60s slacks and Jeanies, which are cute and all, but I find some great stuff in the mens' section. My figure is not especially boyish, and they actually seem to fit quite splendidly, if I may say so myself. Also, all these Boy Scout and Navy cast-offs are tough as nails. Mine have all come from antique stores and eBay thus far, but this website is gonna have me broke, I reckon... they have sailor cast-offs galore for very reasonable prices. Get yours today.

These Scout pants of mine have a nifty li'l pocket on the inner waistband. But oh-oh, what's this? "This garment may be worn only by a registered member". I actually feel a little guilty about that... 

 (d'you like the antique oriental carpet I lugged into my dorm room?!)

Oh yes, did you notice? My hair is back to black!! After two long years of growing it out, the siren call of raven-hued locks was just too much to resist. I feel more like myself with black hair.

I hope you had a nice weekend!
