Not Your Typical Goth


Last night, I went to a show at the goth club.

I don't like doing the literal goth thing, with belts and straps and corsets etc.
I mean, it's cool and all. It's fun and camp. But it's too predictable.
I like having a more original goth look.

[Excuse my Beyonce pose! lol...]
90's club dress - I have no idea who made this dress
Heather gray tights
Fishnet booties - Pretty sure these came from Target
Bamboo by Journee shoes

ELF shimmery charcoal eye-shadow, NYX silver liquid eyeliner,
Maybelline Superstay Gloss in Grape

    no, not your typical goth at all!

    I get where your coming from,I don’t like to deck it out with a predictable outfit either. I save the pale face and chains for the die hards :)

    Not predictable and much, much better. :D

    I am loving that bright orange nail polish with this outfit too – i once read something about the Gothic scene and this really stylish Goth woman was saying the mistake most Goths make is to avoid colour. Deep reds, purples and even blues and greens definately compliament a mostly black ensemble.

    love the grey tights+fishnet booties combo too. Xx

    Major kudos for the More Original Goth Look! I’ve always been attracted to that whole…um…”scene”…but I agree, looking at the same sorts of outfits over and over gets BORING!

    I think the key is to play with legwear, which you’ve done famously here!
