Grown Up Goth: A peek into

Today, I present a peek into my ever changing style. Entitled 'grown up goth' because I in fact was a 'goth' for quite a while.
I was very reluctant to change my style, I wasn't into fashion as much as I am now and there definitely wasn't any other style that appealed to me.
And that style was the one I fell in love with, so I wanted to keep as much of it as possible. But maybe kind of 'upgrade' it and that's what I mean by 'grown up goth' - It's similar, just more grunge and romantic/Victorian elements.

I shall go from head to toe - I made some polyvore sets earlier for clearer examples and ideas.

Tops;


All Saints flower top
$115 - allsaints.com

All Saints draped top
$180 - allsaints.com

All Saints draped top
$125 - allsaints.com

All Saints striped top
$95 - allsaints.com

Miss Selfridge black waistcoat
25 GBP - missselfridge.com

Miss selfridge
18 GBP - missselfridge.com





My general palette is black, red & white - I love stripes, lace & draping. I look for tops with detailing and abstract prints but also that destroyed, burnt look. & I'm very into collars right now.

Jewellery;


Statement

TopShop rope jewelry
$30 - topshop.com

Chain jewelry
$28 - topshop.com

TopShop metal jewelry
$60 - topshop.com

Cord Through Chain Collar
$28 - topshop.com




As much as I love rings, I can't wear them. I just can't get on with them. So I stick to bracelets and necklaces. But mostly necklaces, because my wrists are impossibly small and things just fall off of them.
Luckily, you can get some amazing necklaces. I tend to go for big, statement and highly detailed necklaces.
Skulls, chains & spikes are my favourites.


Bottoms - Shorts;


Distressed Shorts

Secret;BB distressed denim shorts
$68 - yesstyle.com

Ksubi denim shorts
$125 - net-a-porter.com

PRPS cotton shorts
155 GBP - brownsfashion.com

TopShop hot shorts
$70 - topshop.com




I chose to do a polyvore set of shorts because of the current season and the impossible amount of shorts that are in my wardrobe. I do wear skirts & jeans. But usually; I wear shorts and tights in summer and jeans in winter.
I tend to make my own shorts. I cut my jeans into shorts and customize them with studs and patches.
But there are some awesome shorts out there right now!

Tights & Socks;
Socks & Tights

Miss Selfridge nylon stocking
10 GBP - missselfridge.com

TopShop nylon stocking
$16 - topshop.com

TopShop lace tight
$24 - topshop.com

Miss Selfridge black socks
8.50 GBP - missselfridge.com

Black cotton socks
$8 - topshop.com

Cotton socks
$8 - topshop.com




I love tights! I love how many different styles you can get now. I own and look for; lace and lace detailed, striped, detailed & single colour tights. And knee high, cable knit & lace ankle socks.

Shoes;
Flats; Boots. Wedges. Platforms.

Peep toe wedge
$140 - topshop.com

Irregular Choice wedge high heels
$240 - solestruck.com

Jeffrey Campbell stretch boots
$265 - solestruck.com

Leather shoes
$140 - topshop.com




I tend to stick to flats, wedges & platforms. I think I get weak ankles off my mother. Cause I can't walk in heels to save my life.
I love and own boots more than anything I think. But I equally love oxfords, wedges & creepers.
Jeffrey Campbell & Irregular Choice are probably forever my favourites.


I hope you enjoyed a look into my style. And liked the polyvore sets too! ♥

P.S - I'm so behind with blog reading and commenting. But I will get round to it though, I promise.

Preparing for The Pierces.

The Pierces / {Source}

I was originally going to do this blog entry for my music blog... but then I realized I'm just going on about my outfit so it would be better suited here!

I tend to do a fair amount of preparation for most gigs I go to (if you didn't know, I go to a lot of gigs) - admittedly most of that preparation is my outfit.
In a weeks time I'm going to see The Pierces and a lot of my preparations are of course, my outfit.
My gig outfits are usually based on something about the singer/band I'm going to see or sometimes the style/genre.
I have a white based, kind of flowy outfit planned. With lace and flowers. I don't really wear dresses that much, mainly because I never find or imagine any dresses that would suit me. But anyway, back to the outfit, I guess it's based around their style and their music. Very soft, flowy, and boho-like.
I took some photos a few days ago:

Dress; Flower Hair Clip; Gloves/wrist bands; Shoes (the shoes are a lot lighter than they are in this photo)

Also; Lace tights!

I also bought a flower crown, but I'm not sure if to wear that or the flower clip.
The dress is the one I wore when I moved, you can see it properly in the outfit post I done.
I'm literally in love with the little wrist... things - I clearly have no idea what they're actually called, feel free to let me know, haha! - They're just so pretty (!!) & I've been meaning to buy lace tights for a while but haven't 'til now. I love them!
As for the shoes, I wasn't meant to be buying any more shoes. (...like that was actually gonna happen though) but they are oxfords (my favourite)! And they were in the sale for £8... EIGHT?!

I will be doing a proper outfit post after the gig, but I just wanted to share what I will wearing!

P.S - Happy June!

Outfit of the Day - 29/5/11

My outfit isn't all that exciting today, but it's blue. And I love blue. So I have to share it!
Note: My outfit photos are obviously still quite lame because I still haven't invested in a tripod or better camera.

This is my new bag (!!) My sister's friend gave it to her but she didn't want it, so she bought it round yesterday to see if I wanted it! It's chunky and floppy and BLUE! ...and it kind of reminds me of a basket.

I'm wearing:

Butterfly top - New Look (...I think)
Black skinny jeans - Internactionale
Black oxfords - Primark

I have no idea who made the bag or even where it's from, sorry. 
And my necklace is from a little store that no longer exists in the town I used to live in.

I also wore my favourite clear lens glasses... they have blue frames :D ♥
Enjoy my silly face.

What I Wore - 22/04/11

I think it's safe to say I went shopping a lot during the period of having no internet!
And so I'm going to do a 'shopping' post tomorrow or in the next couple of days, but today, an outfit post!

I went to town twice (haha) because, this morning I went with my parents and then my sister came over and asked If I wanted to go to town with her too. And this is what I wore!








Studded Vest Top - EMP Online
Plaid Shirt - Internacionale
Red Tights - Internacionale
Brogues - Primark
Bag - Egg n Chips Clothing
Sunglasses - I have no idea... I'm pretty sure they came free with a magazine at some point, haha!


I bought the shirt and tights today and the brogues yesterday! (I love my new brogues!)
It's been soo hot these past few days (!!) It's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow (...which I can't comprehend at all) and so I'm hoping it will last another day so I can go to the beach on Sunday! ♥

I hope you all have sunshine and that you're enjoying it! ♥
