On the Row

I have, of late, become obsessed with playing Saints Row 2. It's a knockoff of Grand Theft Auto, and my addiction has gotten so bad that, whenever I see a nice car, my first thought is: "Is that on my chop shop list?"

One of the things you can do in the game is buy and customize clothing. Because my character has a rockin' body and likes to pistol whip people, I've been dressing her in a fairly skanky manner. Okay, she looks like a ho. But a ho who pistol whips pedestrians.



I'm pretty sure she owns this skirt.

I like the suggestion that you pair it with, "netted tights and statement heels." Because keeping it classy would just be too easy. Then again, I guess if you're wearing this skirt, your only option really is to just go full-force trashy, because come on: it's not even a real leather skirt. They had to kill six Pleathers to make this thing. At least give it the courtesy of pairing it with an appropriately streetwalker-esque ensemble.

  1. I have to say... this skirt paired with black tights and my Doc Martins, a white shirt - with Victoria's Secret's 4-in-1 cargo jacket... very hot. Then again, you can get away with most anything at a Goth/Industrial club, but skanky was not a review I got last night.

    The VS jacket is here if you're curious: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=GL-199636&page=1&cgname=OSCLOOUTZZZ&rfnbr=6620)

  2. @Vorsaga:
    1. Nice jacket. I'm a sucker for a good cargo jacket.
    2. More than anything, it's their suggestion or pairing the skirt with fishnets and high heels that made me qualify it as skanky. The way you wore it - with tights and combat boots - actually sounds cute (and is how I wear most of my miniskirts, too).
