Those are really cute!

ya, if you look hard enough, Forever 21 has some good finds for a low price

I used to work at Forever 21. I still have some great clothes from there, but I really hated the job.

I absolutely LOVE the first dress

Those dresses are really nice! Does anyone remember that one year that almost everything in Forever 21 was gothy or punk looking?

Haha, yes, I remember that, Chelsea. I was getting afraid that I was going to start looking mainstream for a moment. Glad that wave passed...

Same here. It was scary to see punk, skulls, and goth as mainstream trendy.

lol, a lot of things were really cute, but I can't fit into their stuff, haha!

My friend Kelso actually bought me a really cute puff-sleeve button up top (quite Lolita looking, in fact), that is white with little black skulls all over it from H & M last year... I was thrilled with it, but then a little wave of, "Uh-oh" came over me...

I didn't wear it for a long time because I was afraid I'd walk down the street and see some other girl wearing the same thing.

Yes, I can't wear or buy anything that has skulls on it now. You know its not cool anymore when you see a 10,000 throw pillow with a Swarovski crystal skull on it. Skull and crossbones have NO place in Vouge or Redbook!

^Agreed. I was plopped down watching bad TV last night, and one of these tabloid/gossip shows (Extra, I think), caught my attention, because it said the word, "Goth"... (of course, they pronounced it like, "Goff"... lawls.)...Anyways, it had Kate Moss all vamped out in some photo shoot for Vogue.

I didn't know whether to laugh at the hilarity of it all, and how ridiculous she looks in black makeup against her mousy blonde hair...or cry...

It disturbs me. You know, even when they do put a nice wig on the models and would-be nice, gothy makeup, it still makes my stomach churn. There's no soul behind that at all. Its totally devoid of anything that makes this subculture so wonderful.

^Well...at least we can take solace in knowing that it is a "fad" (as many would like to hope our entire subculture is. )... eventually, they will no longer think it to be "mysterious and glamorous"...and will instead move on to something else. Likely, in the next 6 months. High fashion never sits still for long.

My boots came in and they feel very comfortable. From what I can feel, the sole feels like it is firmly affixed to the boot. They are a bit taller than the picture depicts.

Nice boots ginger you will look awesome on the dance floor with them I'm sure

They are beautiful! So many buckles! How lush!

I have some of those coffin buttons, I'm just deciding which one of my designs will get them put on. Those buttons costed me $4 each, not cheap I'll tell ya.

I love the frock coat in the first pic., even made one last month (on display at my work for another few more weeks), with pinstripe denim.
