Outfit - New romantic bohemian skirt





I got the skirt in this outfit from my friend Blomma today. She said she doesn´t use it so she gave it to me.  It is not really my style, much cuter/more romantic than what I usually wear. But I am a sucker for skirts with a bit of volume, and the colors are right up my alley! It was hard to find matching pieces in my wardrobe though... This crushed velvet dress was about the only thing that really worked. I bought it at a sale at Weekday and I love how versatile it is! The crushed black velvet is a material that is quintessentially gothic to me, but at the same time this dress is simple and stylish and does not succumb to the gothic cliché. I usually wear it with a skirt underneath, because I am rather prudish... The necklace is a simple coiled snake made from thick copper wire, I bought this one in a small craft shop here in Uppsala. I love copper tone jewelry!!  

Price tag: Meh, who cares... about 30 € maybe.

Wish list: More basic and versatile clothes, like this dress, that still have that gothic/steampunk/anything strange wibe!

Outfit - New leather skirt!




I actually ventured outside of my home today, for the first time in mire than a week... I had a giftcard to a local bookshop to spend. This was the outfit... The accessories are the same as usual these days, raven skull necklace, vest, pocket watch and top hat. The dark red velveteen shirt is one of my absolute favorites out of all the stuff that is in my wardrobe! A machine washable, comfortable, every day kind of item while still looking absolutely decadent! I bought it a few years ago from a charity shop for next to nothing... The black leather skirt is a recent find. I bought it last week at another charity shop for 8 €. It is real leather, the perfect lenght and fits very comfortably! 

Price tag: about 60 € excluding the hat and shoes, lots of pricy accessories here...

Wish list: Real leather pants, because I´m getting really tired of my faux leather pants getting worn out all too soon... More velveteen shirts, I´d love one black, one dark green, one dark blue and one dark teal... Won´t happen, but one can dream I suppose...

P.S. For the perfumistas, I wore Falling Stars at Winter Solstice layered with a hint of Smoke and Mirrors (both Alkemia)... My mother said I should wear something that smelled like a sauna, so I combined evergreens, vanilla and smoke... Smelled a bit like a sauna to me, though I don´t really know what evergreens have with a sauna to do...
