Coolest Goth ever...

Viscose polo neck tee AND belt - Generation New Look
Lace skirt with nude silk underlayer - DKNY
Sleeveless Cardigan- 'Meteor Shower' (Bought in The Laden Showroom, Brick Lane)
Leather, plastic, metal necklace - Spitalfields market
Sunglasses - 50p from Superbuys!

As you can see, the colour has been altered in the last picture, my hair is not QUITE that red in real life!

But I love this outfit...it captures both the gothic trend and the textures trend (chunky knit, fur, lace, leather....)

It was put together last minute using bits and pieces I'd collected over the years, and the DKNY skirt is the only part one might consider costly- but one would be WRONG because it was in fact bought from an amazingly small/strange little vintage shop in Crystal Palace, London. It is hidden off the main street down this little slope by a restaurant if memory serves (pizza hut perhaps??) by a dusty old second hand book shop...Downstairs is random things (records, furniture...) but upstairs is a HAVEN of vintage clothes and jewellery (even a fetish section- rubber thigh boots and all!).
It is actually a bandeau top! But looks great worn as a skirt. I also got a karen millen crop top from the same place, and paid under a tenner for both!


Black boots (faux suede lace up with fringing) - Tammy
Blue canvas lace up wedges - New Look
Sunglasses as above
