A Chain of Flowers

I would be lying if I didn't admit that I bought this shirt (thrift find), because it reminded me of the floral shirts that Robert Smith wore in the very early 90s. I think everyone from The Cult to The Mission were wearing floral fashions at that time.

This outfit is the same idea as last Thursday's work outfit, I think Thursday unofficial 'pants day'. 

I'm wearing floral button-up shirt with oversized cardigan (both thrift), trousers (H&M), shoes (Shoe Cult by Nasty Gal). Earrings and brooch (thrift) and necklace from Siren, old and now defunct goth store in Toronto, ON.

Lipstick color is garnet by NYC Cosmetics (gift from a friend)

Do you like florals?

I've Got Pacman Fever

Wednesday's work outfit revolved around this Pacman themed button-up shirt that I got at the thrift store. It's an H&M brand shirt that I spotted while scouring the racks and immediately starting giggling in store, "Pacman Fever" started playing in my head.

I had the 45 record when I was little kid. Ahhh, the 80s.

Sweater (H&M) paired with Pacman shirt (thrift), black circle skirt (Steady Clothing), studded belt (thrift), black leggings and boots (6pm.com).

I can't forget to mention the rad pizza pin that my best friend Danielle gave me. Pacman sorta looks like a pizza, at least in my mind. Then again, I always have pizza on my mind. Mmmmmm.

I Love Pizza

I wore this casual outfit on Monday to run some errands and do a little thrift shopping with Derek. The Killstar Pizzagram Oversized Tank Top appeared in this past post and I haven't gotten a lot of wear out of it until now. I realized I can wear the tank top over a long sleeve t-shirt and throw on a long-line cardigan. Voila! Excellent casual and comfy outfit.

Ta-da!

I really like Killstar's designs for the pure occult kitsch (as I like to describe the style), I have a few things on my radar; Bony Collar Top, Thelema Sheer Shirt, Wednesday Addams Tank Top, So Goth I'm Dead handbag. 

And in true 'me' fashion, I was goofing around and I pulled a muscle. Apparently I need to stretch before taking outfit photos. LOL!!!! Oh boy....

Yeah, fuzzy leopard slippers. FTW!!!!

Rad Reads

Hello dear readers! Just sharing some articles that I deem "Rad Reads", I hope you enjoy!

Ashes to Ashes : A Timeline of David Bowie's Influence on Goth "Goth fashion traces itself way back past glam rock, of course, but there’s a good chance no teenagers would be walking around in Victorian funeral attire in 2015 if it wasn’t for Bowie, and his influence on the early Goth rockers — they gave us all permission to be strange in bold daylight, to re-imagine ourselves as scary monsters and super freaks."

Buried Under a Bridge in Paris: The Misfit Mausoleums of Montmarte "....many families of the 19th century Parisian elite paid top dollar for prime plots near the entrance of the cemetery where the sun would always shine on the graves of their ancestors and honour their family legacies for centuries to come."

What You Have Is More Than Enough  "Instead of constantly focusing on what to buy next, why not opt instead to think about ways in which to replenish some of the joy that constantly comparing yourself to others has robbed you of, that cost little to, ideally, nothing?"

Side note: Jessica's post (I know it's an older blog post) really struck a cord with me and have been reflecting on how being a blogger can make people feel 'less than' or not good enough, which saddens me. I was so moved by her post I even filmed a video, but was quickly deleted as no one needs to listen to me ramble on...I swear it was positive. Hehehe!

Strega Fashion 101 "The look itself is certainly not new in any way. I love how the Internet will take looks that have been around forever and rename them so they appear new and exciting."  "

Happy Skeletons

The skeletons on this dress are so happy! Happy dancing skeletons, yay! I layered the dress (Folter Clothing) with a black and white stripe shirt (thrift), black leggings, slouch socks and buckled creepers (TUK Shoes).

I would have been frozen without a sweater, so I put on my trusty wool sweater (thrift) and adorned it with my rhinestone dangle skeleton brooch. More skeletons? Why not!

Shout out to my readers who have been effected by Winter Storm Juno, apparently our Buffalo winter wanted to come visit you. Stay warm and safe!
