closet
tops
'tangerine dreams' x-tra cropped crop top from the shop snowlattes. my dream summer shirt. shows off the stomach tattoos i paid a lot of euros for. and if i raise my arms too high, also shows off my tits.
from the elkins, west virginia goodwill. AKA thrift heaven. my beloved horsie shirt. i have the same taste in fashion as 75 year old appalachian white men, who drive rusty trucks to go fishing on wednesday mornings.
kuru131 thick cotton boxy fit Dance Dance Revolution shirt. got at otakon, 2024. i'm a huge DDR geek. i like to play DDR in this shirt, but i get sweaty and take it off quickly. i am VERY serious about DDR.
i felt like i needed a guy fieri adjacent shirt in my wadrobe. for some reason. i would totally rock this if i was an illegal street racer, with blonde frosted tips and a lip ring. but alas, i'm just zia. it's pretty hideous and oversized. i don't wear it that often, but it's also a staple. bought from rumors in richmond.
'rivers make me gay' soft xl tee from raft guide and artist, @workofharris.
old xl uniqlo shirt. badly cropped to make square-ish. awful color. but god i fucking love grapefruit.
nrocks staff shirt from 2023. buff, educated, big-titty via ferrata anime milf, drawn by marshall. i begged for a copy of this shirt for months, until someone made the wadrobe sacrifice. i can't even wear this because i'm so afraid of damaging it. i love this shirt.
mountain hardware sport print sunshirt i got for free. i spend a lot of time frying in the sun. this past year i've discovered the amazing coverage and coolness of a thin, loose sunshirt. white ppl, get on this.
sweaters
alaskan deer fleece jacket, another BANGER from the elkins goodwill. it has two deer on the front, and a different trio of deer on the back. i have a fetish for clothes with diverging yet similar scenes on each side, like i've been wrapped in forest.
embroidered bald eagle across a textured mountain landscape, gorgeous unique sweater from the national wildlife federation. my favorite. i like to think this was sold in the gift shops of national parks in the 70s.
'shenendoah' branded purple knit sweater. thrifted in ann arbor, michigan. amazing woven texture. there's a lot of vintage national park gear in my closet. wow, fork found in kitchen!
bottoms
yo wear frog shorts, from circle thrift in richmond. probably mens boxers, to but too utterly awesome to stay hidden.
vintage fern short shorts from high tor gear exchange in charlottesville. interesting buttons. a little too short, resting at the hips.
gramicci gadget pine pants. a brand i like that makes sturdy climbing clothes. i wore this often on my pine tree surveys this summer. i like the little band on the side pocket, for hanging carabiners.
basic brown dickies. a little strange in quality, i think these were made for the urban outfitter crowd during that brief stint where every performative male was dressing like a construction worker. but i wear these for field work and they do fine. they have reinforced knees, i need those.
cxs 21 baggy fit pants. from a thrift store in chattanooga. yes i paid thirty bucks for these, IDC. i love how they fit. these look so basic in this photo, but i swear these pants are the BEST. literally make my flat ass look big. magic pants.
purple y2k sweatpants from the gap. something my mom would wear. one of the few pants i've ever tried on that i didn't need to cuff. from circle thrift in richmond.
shoes
good ol' teva sandals. wore to the bone. i wear them on ten mile hikes, i wear them to the grocery store. i desperately need new ones.
la sportiva hiking boots with great rock grip. doug choose these for me at random, and i was pleasantly suprised. blue spots from pesticide spraying. bought for me by the government. thanks government.
misc.
favorite socks from parks project. thick and stinky.
fuzzy hat, also from parks project. love a cap with little ears. you can let them hang, or tie them up at the top. so cuteee.
keys on a carabiner. outfit essential. i once left these at endless wall, then my friend gets a text from someone i've hung out with like once: 'hey, zia left their keys.' no hesitation that it's mine. bead lizard made by grayson.
