Posts: 175 | June 29th, 2009 at 12:17am 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! |

Posts: 162 | June 29th, 2009 at 03:13am 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! |

Posts: 175 | June 29th, 2009 at 08:16am 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. |

 | June 29th, 2009 at 11:16am 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 |

Posts: 175 | June 29th, 2009 at 11:39am 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. |

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. ^__^ |

Posts: 175 | June 29th, 2009 at 02:12pm 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,

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... |

It's also against the PRB to not wear whatever you want. |

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  |

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. |
