Outfit Post: Interview And/Or Professional Goth

Recently, I’ve been running around catching trains and buses to get to house viewings and trying to find somewhere to move. During this I’ve been dressing move covertly than I usually would – adding in simple colours, taking away the rips (boo!), while keeping my personal style still very obvious. It’s definitely been an experience. Dressing down doesn’t always have to be dreaded and you certainly don’t have to hide your true-self; there’s no need to throw away your layered-skirts for blue-jeans.

Stockings: Secondhand – Shoes: Cotton On – Bag: Thrifted

These photo’s were taken at the train-station after we missed our train by five minutes. I swear this year has not been my year at all. Though I did have the company of my my friend – the lovely person taking my photo is the same person that designed and drew my header, Xara.

Cardigan: Secondhand – Blouse: ROMWE – Skirt: Kmart

 I’ve attempted to add in some colour (even though it’s red) just to get people wondering. Even when someone isn’t dressed particularly alternative but is in head to toe black they either think high fashion or Goth – adding a completely colourful item should get people wondering instead.

Abandoning my ripped stockings was another point but I decided to keep my hair uncovered since I didn’t want to be completely untrue (plus my partner was very adamant that I be truthful). If I do find a place to live (Oh man, I hope soon!) I don’t want them to be shocked when they come for an assessment to find a completely different person.

This is the dream cardigan that I’ve been looking for for years, unfortunately it’s in red rather than black. But at least I’m a step closer by knowing exactly what I want! I can imagine this one will be really great for layering with in winter; I can’t wait until the weather cools down.

Do you change your entire style for days that you have to dress ‘appropriately’? How do you dress down your regular style?

Outfit Post: My Partner and I.

Today’s my partners, mothers birthday and her one request was a photo of the two of us. You ahve no idea how distraught I was, not knowing what to wear for the photo until my mother just said, “Just be yourself. Put on all your face and dress how you you normally would.” So I pulled on something I thought looked pretty and my normal hair and make up.

Coen and I.

I can imagine wearing something like this to work, if I were to work. I’m only a high school student for a three more months or so until I do my final exams. I’m incredibly nervous!

I haven’t met my partners mother, or family really, in person yet. Even though we’ve been dating for three years and are moving in together at the end of this year his whole family live on the other side of the country. I was going to meet them at the end of this year but with moving in together I’m not so sure it’s going to be affordable.

It looks like my skirt is a blue toned black but I honestly don’t think it really is. I think it’s just the gloomy weather. The gloomier the better! That sounds really stereotypical but I honestly love cloud and cool days.

The sun was being weird and made me look a lot paler than usual.
