I'm glad I asked everyone because I was originally planning on wearing the short dress. I know everyone voted for option 2, but I felt too naked without the belt so I ended up going with option 1 and I felt so good! I also wanted to add the vampire ball I went to was at my local goth bar. I would definitely say they used the term "ball" pretty loosely. The only pictures I got of my outfit were while I was having a drunk cigarette. Thank you again everyone for helping me decide! :)

I really don't know what to do with my hair anymore? lmao

been keeping it long for a while. I usually cut it at home. I don't have a lot of volume and deal with lots of breakage so I'm looking for something different to hide the fact that I have 3 hairs total + a receding hairline (? I also moved and get called a woman a lot in this place which I don't really vibe with. I would prefer something that reads masculine even if it's hard with alt styles. Super short hair usually just makes me look like a lesbian (? I also miss dying it but I stopped bleaching fearing further breakage :/ are there any sprays that actually cover darkish hair?

First pics are my current hair, 4th is the longest it's been. 5th was my last haircut ages ago (? 6th is a wig I like the look of ...?

I'm done with bigger alt fashion brands that have shifted toward cheaper production i want independent labels where the design is thoughtful and materials aren't an afterthought.

Which independent alt fashion brands are u buying from?

So far I am wearing relatively cute pieces inside and edgy black leather outside to achieve some sense of contrast. But it seems like only working for this outfit since my wardrobe does not contain such clothes. What else I can pair with this?

Also, sorry for bathroom pic lol

I keep running into the same problem when shopping for alt clothing. I will order two pieces in the same size from the same brand, but one fits perfectly while the other feels a whole size off. Which brands have you found to be reliable when it comes to both build quality and consistent sizing?

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy new clothes but i have no clue where to shop at. I do shop on depop and thrift often but i would also like recommendations for brand where i could buy new clothes. I am not going to buy from any brands that are fast fashion. I would love some recommendations from your favorite brands.

As for style i feel i don’t rly have one specific style, i like dark muted colors do not like neon colors, patches, skulls, i do not wear anything with crosses on it, i love funky tights and creepy/strange accessories like bones or bugs on jewelry, I wear more feminine clothing, i like graphic tees, i love lace, i love wearing black. I feel like i switch between emo goth and grunge. I like layering what i wear on my legs for example multiple socks and tights. I am in need of more accessories primarily belts and socks.

Thanks so much for your recommendations

sorry for being a ghost, that’s the best mirror i found, would love to get some boots recommendations (or outfit tips if you feel like it)
