What to Dare to Wear

Tomorrow is the big night for ETV and I want to make sure that I'm good to go. I know my song like the back of my hand, and I've been running my vocal warm-ups to make sure that my chords are nice and limber - but the even bigger question is: what, oh WHAT am I going to WEAR???

I did a little searching on the ol' net for some rocker chick wardrobe ideas. The same image of Joan Jett in tight leather pants and a leather vest kept springing to mind. Sure enough, my search engine yielded more that enough pics of her in that very getup. Could I pull that off? I wondered.

I wonder...

Well, after work I took a trip to the always-trusty and hip Urban Outfitters, and low and behold, they had exactly what I was looking for: tight black shiny leggings and a classic roker leather vest. I very much doubt that I will be wearing all of these things together. I'm not trying to look like I just stepped out of a rock show in the 80s - but I was pretty sure that one of these sexy items would more than suffice.

I couldn't make up my mid in the dressing room, so I brought both pairs of pants and the vest home with me to see what would and wouldn't work. The vest was a n0-go - just too costumey, but the black pants that had a subtle sheen to them and the look of tight leather took the prize. Paired with a long black camisole and my new $15 Steve Madden heels and we've got ourselves a winner!

I just hope that I don't chicken out at the show and decide not to go ahead with wearing this stuff!
