Update

 Over the past few months, I have been struggling try to maintain the blog. I was determined to start posting again once I realized I had missed the 1 year anniversary of the blog.  I will try to post at least once a month from now on. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thrift Shop Find

 I was wondering around in Goodwill and found this awsome dress. My favorite part of it is the bodice. I like the skirt of it but I may change it to a pencil shape.



 

January Theme Post

I'm a person who rarely, if ever, keeps my resolutions. I've always failed to set reasonable goals for myself. This year I've put some effort in coming up with one resolution, to invest time to my room. This does mean some cleaning and organizing, but my main focus is to express myself in my room. If you've read my blog a few months earlier you may have seen posts of me attempting this before.

I deleted these posts because I thought I would never go back to it. I've started the project again by decorating a shelf on my desk hutch. Hopefully, this time I will get further in the task.

Christmas Presents

 This is just a short post to show you guys what I got for Christmas. Mainly I got gift cards and money, but there were a few material items. I treasure them all, especially my first pair of boots.










Clearing Up Misconceptions

Today during class, there were some stereotypes going on about emo and goth. I decided to clear it up with a little lecture. I feel great because I established a lot of things by demolishing the stereo types and having more people understand the subculture or at least have less misconceptions. I still have some stubborn people in the classroom who wouldn't listen to me because they thought they knew more about the subculture than I did. Most of them probably didn't even know that gothic is a subculture, a genre of music or literature or a style in architecture ,but just fashion. That is it for now, but expect more posts soon.

December Theme Entry

  This month I decided to participate in the Sophistique Noir December Theme.  I don't own any maxi skirts and it was time for me to make a polyvore set. I kept it simple. Very simple.

I feel that the skirt looks like one solid color, but it was the best I could find in that color.
