Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | Okay, so for the concerts I'm going to, I want to dress up like Gloria... but I need help! I don't want to look EXACTLY like the girl in the video, but something along those lines. ALSO: I can't spend a lot of money! I'm broke. I'm thinking: Jacket- this is the hardest one. I definitely don't want it to be leather. it's going to be too hot. thin, breatheable material. I'm thinking of some kind of material like the jacket Billie keeps wearing. it'd be cool to sew on patches. also, i prefer a lot of pockets, preferably with zippers. i do NOT want to carry a purse to the concerts i'm going to. Shirt- I want it to be striped, like in the video, but instead of pink and black, grey and black. maybe have the stripes a little bigger. doesn't matter. Skirt- not sure... i need help on this. definitely black, but not sure what material Belt- a studded silver one... that works, right? or, i can always wear my American Idiot Green Day belt... if it works.. does it? Shoes- I wanna try to get Billie or Mike's signature shoes... probably Mike's if I can. Yes, I know these two shoes are expensive, BUT, I need a new pair of shoes and might be able to convince my mom. Socks- i have no idea... what socks should I wear? So, can anyone help me? I prefer if you find the stuff on amazon.com , as I have gift cards there. my second choice is hottopic.com Thanks! |
Orange_Mocha_Frappuchino Geek Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 162 | That's a cool idea, dressing as Gloria. For the jacket, try checking some local thrift shops. I just got a bunch of blazers from the 80s in a local thrift shop. I'm sure if you look around, you could find something that would work! Or a good alternative could be a leather vest. It wouldn't be hot, like a leather jacket, but it would still work for the look. For the shirt, I'd look in Hot Topic or Forever21. Forever21 has a lot of striped tshirts and tank tops, and I tried on a black and grey one there a few days ago. They have a lot of skirts there too, and I know I saw a black denim one that could work. I know F21 isn't on Amazon.com, but their shirts are generally pretty cheap. For socks, you definitely need a pair of knee-highs like Gloria's. Last month I went on a knee-high shopping spree at Target and Forever21. They're amazing! They have Target stuff on Amazon.com, so you should check there. Good luck with your outfit, take a picture when you get everything and post it! I'm sure it'll look awesome! |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | thank you so much for your help! I'll see what I can do. I'm going to start working soon so I can get some more money, but hopefully I can convince my mom to pay for some of it, heh. If anyone else has any suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciate. |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | Wait, what about shoes? now looking how expensive mike's shoes are, I dunno if I can get them. would converse work? if yes, what kind? |
captain america GSBitch Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 874316 | You can't do this, it's against the punk rock bible to dress up as something from the band whilst going to that bands concert. At least that's what someone told me. Pfft. As for the shoes, just wear a pair of converse, if you already have them there's no point in spending money on new ones. I think this is pretty cool. I agree with the person up top ^ Pictures are nice |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | No... you're not supposed to wear a bands t-shirt. Or something like that. (although I'll incorporate some small Green Day things like patches or buttons or something) I also wanna dress up as Gloria because I like her style. I don't have a pair of Converse (well, I do, but they're Converse skate shoes that are blue and white and would look bad with this outfit) but it's cheaper to buy a standard pair than Billie's or Mike's shoes. |
padfoot Jackass Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1718 | slappy.: Woah? Seriously? That sucks. Also, I don't think it's bad to wear a band's t-shirt. There's loads of people wearing american idiot t-shirts on Bullet in a Bible. And you have to show you're appreciation of the band. ^__^ |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | The reason why is because everyone there is a fan. THEY KNOW that you like Green Day. They think it's "teenie" to wear the band's shirt. Even someone who met Green Day when she was 14 or 15, the members were making fun of her for wearing a Green Day shirt to the show, heh. Anyway, can anyone else help me? Anyway, |
HavingAGreenDay Falling In Love With The Board Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 5699 | i'm wearing a pink dress to the concert. Punx. |
captain america GSBitch Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 874316 | , I'm wearing a tank top and extremely big pants so I can drop my camera down them and not have to worry about it getting taken away. |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | Since when did this become a "What are you wearing to the Green Day concert?" thread? hahahahahha |
captain america GSBitch Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 874316 | Well it's pretty much exactly that.. You told what you were going to wear. It's our turn now xD |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | I'm not complaining, I'm just saying I was asking for advice, heh. |
padfoot Jackass Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1718 | Nimrodx007: REALLY? SERIOUSLY? I find that slightly hard to believe. There's a video somewere of Tre wearing a Green Day t-shirt. (Around when Nimrod came out) So...is there any proof against wearing a Green Day t-shirt. You know what I mean... |
freshavocado Addict Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 10892 | you should change the title, to "What are you going to wear to GD shows?" or something like that... I'm wearing my ole' Chuck Taylors and sum skinnies and a tank top maybe...since I'm kinda being up up up front xD I don't want my good clothes getting dirty from who knows what. 0_o or getting messed up some how. |
CurlyFries Idiot Age: 38 Gender: Female Posts: 526 | rock lobster: It's also against the PRB to not wear whatever you want. |
padfoot Jackass Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1718 | CurlyFries: Where is this list of rules. I'm getting gradualy more and more confused. |
Nimrodx007 Geek Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 175 | Platypus!: Yeah, same girl met them again a few years later on the nimrod tour. She ripped her shirt jumping over a fence, so they gave her a nimrod shirt matching tre's. now she was making fun of tre for wearing a green day shirt to a green day concert! |
Aliiiiii. King For A Couple Of Days Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 2218 | HavingAGreenDay: I'll probably wear a dress too. But with leggings, just in case. And gig boots - ankle boots that clean well when they get beer/bodily fluids on them |
padfoot Jackass Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 1718 | Nimrodx007: That doesn't seem bad. That seems like they don't mind people wearing their shirts. You've got me really confused now. And I've seen SO many people on-stage wearing their t-shirts. But that was more recently. In the older videos they don't seem to wear them. Seriously. I'm confused. |
