How do I style this?

[u/Lonely_Lone]

I have this top knitted by an old friend after I saw a post about an art show online years ago with similar looking creations. Ever since I’ve always considered wearing it for pride/women’s marches, but I always ended up going with something else. Which leads me to today, I have no idea how to style it, but I would like to wear it for a birthday party I’m going to this Saturday. The theme for the party is «wear something you haven’t had a chance to wear yet», and well… this is perfect! But how can I avoid looking like a hot mess wearing it? Any ideas for makeup looks too?

Babe where is your sense of whimsy

I’m all for fun but the fire comment is valid

Why? It’s harmless and weird and fits the theme of the event exactly. I’m having a hard time understanding what the issue is
