Its me May again and I am writing this weeks weekly post. I decided to write about this topic because I thought it would be a fun topic to write about. Plus, I think it would be a great post so you can all know more about me as well. I don't think the introduction post was that informative. As for this weeks post will be about what are my Goth influences. Every single Goth is different. We all like different things. Just like "regular" people have different tastes and opinions about things. Were all humans, and we are all different people. Just like none of us look the same, we all have different features that makes us who we are.
Now, getting on with today's topic I actually have quite a few Goth influences from the Gothic subculture. In this post I am going to talk about my fashion inclined influences. Il'll write about my music inclined ones in another post. Please note that I am writing on these influences fashion wise and not music wise or subculture wise. Getting back on track, let's get started with the list now.
First up on my main fashion influence is Gothic Lolita. Why Gothic Lolita? Because its very cute and very girly, like me. And also probably the fact I look good in this clothing too, probably due to my Asian ancestry. It is the main style component in my clothing. Gothic Lolita clothing consists of detailed black dresses with a lot of lace and a whole bunch of ruffles. It has a type of a doll-like dress to it. Kind of like the dresses that you see that porcelain dolls wear, but with a dark twist added to it. Acessories consist of roses, lace gloves, lace chokers, top hats, chunky bracelets, silver jewelry, and chunky platform lace up boots. It also has a sort of Victorian styled influence to it as well.

Another big influence to me is the Gothic Victorian/Victorian Goth. This fashion is beautiful in fashion, furniture, and architecture wise. I find this look beautiful and inspiring. The way this style looks just screams glamour to me. The thought of how people wore clothing like this on a daily basis is just amazing. Kind of makes me think "Why can't we dress like this to this day?" And I am meaning not just me, but everyone in the world. If you ask me, the Victorian era was the era with the best fashion. I mean have you taken a look today's outrageous fashion? The Victorian fashion's components consist of embroided laced corsets, long skirts, bustle skirts, petticoats to give those skirts an extra oomph. This style is now looked as a vintage look for anything classy and this style also has a romanticism look in it as well. The acessories consist of lace gloves either short or long, top hats, bonnets, vintage jewelry, pearls (I think pearls are somehow romantic inclined), lace up boots, small heeled shoes (I never see anyone wearing huge heels with this look), pretty much a look that consists of vintage glamour from back in the 19th century.

I think these two are the influences that I have on my fashion style. Since I dress in lace all the time. I don't really have any other style of dress. I do add other elements to my style. But for the most part these two styles are my main ones. What about you? What are your styles of dress? Goth or not? Share your style, I would love to know as well!
See you soon,
May
