Repeller or Propeller, the Sequel

Bonjour mankind, I'm back in New York even if but for 48 hours and ready to continue tackling existential concerns and great debates. Today in just that: another riveting round of Repeller or Propeller. I'm often asked if continuing to abide by the rules of man-repelling can still apply in a more formal capacity and to that I repeat my mantra, folks: if it's look like a vagina, it's probably couture. And when I say couture, I mean fancy business. Sorry, bizznass. So, yes. The answer is yes. But that's not all: here we have something less about labial dressing, more about perhaps embracing the prospect of semi-repelling in a look that eloquently abominates the lower half of your body and leaves nothing to the imagination up above.
Ultimately, I'd dubbed this look a Repeller not necessarily based on the excess lace fabric that creates a high waist harem effect down below but more on the prospect that as aforementioned, nothing is left to the imagination: not an inkling of how you say, cleavage. My tatas really are that small. Unfortunately, I wasn't offered the good graces to wear this jumpsuit sans lining and so no bare-ass celebrating a la Leighton was had. I did, however, have a massively hard time using the bathroom and while you may not see it here, the camel-toe sequel song opportunities brought forth by my nether regions were great, huge even. What do you say though: repeller? Propeller? Neither? Tell me, I have to know...and should you feel so inclined, send in a photo of yourself fighting a similar debacle. The psycos that repel together, stay together.

Finally, I know what you're thinking and yes: those are the Alaia conquest. Choker by Jennifer Fisher.

  2. This look tiptoes on the fine line between repeller and propeller. Tough call.

  27. I'd have to say that this is a repeller as well, nothing to do with your tatas however and all to do with the harem esque bottom. HOWEVER, I love it :)

  28. The most dashing display of camel toe I have ever seen. Repeller? Propeller? I think its more like expeller! Thanks for your reckless audaciousness and tenacious individuality!

  29. I love the jumpsuit! Majority of the guys I know would definitely hate it though, and so I'd say it's repeller :)

  30. I'm not sure, overall I'd say that you're propelling, but when you break down the outfit: repelling. Both? Lol, loved your post nonetheless!

    You are so feminine and elegant, you've totally transform this piece of clothing. Tiny waist, high heels and beautiful shoulders. It is a "go girl!"

  41. REPELLER! No matter how dangerous it could've been on the top, no man wants a woman wearing a diaper! :P

  42. Love love love love love!! Even the Leighton incarnation was a fave of mine despite the hollywood razzi not being totally in favour of (and some decency-inducing undergarments would have helped!) but all in all it is a thumbs up from here : )!!
