Spring Trends To Take Advantage Of

Spring trends are always tricky to deal with when you fall into the darker alternative scene...
Florals, Pastels, Bright prints, sundresses, peep toe shoes.... Many things that don't fit into my wardrobe at all. However, there are some ways to make the latest spring trends work for you:

Examples of clothing under $50 (most under $30 with a couple of more formal items thrown in) that could easily be part of a goth/alternative look.

This post provides a list of cheap places to get goth / alt clothes.
But first a mandatory incoherent rant that you can skip if you'd like:

Okay . So.

The other night I was out at a bar doing my thing. And a girl came up to me and complimented me on my style and was very kind and then :

"I always wanted to be goth but I couldn't afford it."

How to wear a spiked bra!

Ways to wear a spiked bra. by goth-proxy on polyvore.com

In response to a comment left on my DIY to do list by 1666 X 30, here are six ways I would suggest wearing a spiked bra.

Personally, I would like to wear it with my underbust corset, but I know that's not for every one. Spiked bras are pretty versatile though. They are easy to wear under an open jacket or vest with jeans (depending on how much skin you want to show), but can also be worn under loose fitting / off-the-shoulder shirts. Get an over sized t and snip until it fits!

To Do List: DIY's

DIY to do list by goth-proxy 

So I really do need to do more DIYs.
And I have quite a few planned.
Here's a few of my current inspirations / Goals:

1. Dangly Chain Collar

2. Lace Choker

3. Goth Hand Candy

4. Black Flower Crown

5. Body Chain Jewellery

6. Leg Garters

7. Studded Bra

I need to order a ton of cone stud beads for the bra. And I'll have to make a trip to a dollar store for some fake flowers... I'm not sure if I'll find them in black... that might have to wait until halloween to find those.

Fun plans!
