Outfit Post: Dad's 60th

Greetings again, oh my lovely readers! I noticed on facebook (Goth blogging community) that my blog was one of those that was a tad difficult to read, so I changed the font to white. I hope this suits everyone better. :)

Note: To the new followers, thank you SO much! I am still in mild shock from having so many spring up and I think I have just died now...Ultimate Goth Guide is following me! (Do excuse me while I faint)

Today was my dad's 60th birthday so the family went out to a charming little cafe downtown and as mom said I was allowed to wear whatever I wanted, I formed together a simple Gothy outfit. Here are the photos: (Please excuse my poor fashion sense, unphotogenicness, shortness and 'stuffed' looking self.)

And yes, at the last minute my 5 red hair extensions came in the mail so mom braided them into my hair (They are a few inches too long to wear with it out) and as such came a pretty two toned braid.

Ignore my expression, I never do well with surprise photos like this one.

An almost completely meat free meal! Salad and potatoes....sadly there was a bit of bacon floating around.

My outfit: Bought from Op shops, Kmart and David Jones. Note the red braid :D

My hat!

Ignore fat self, it's because I ate a lot and it was dreadfully cold so I'm wearing double shirts.

I made those mini gloves myself out of a deceased pair of my favourite socks.

Jacket: Op shop ($5), Shirt: Op shop ($2.50), Skirt: Op shop ($4:00), Socks: David Jones ($10), Shoes: Kmart ($10), Hair extensions: Ebay ($6.50), Hat: Reject Shop ($3:00), Necklace: Dad, Gloves: Made by me.

My tanning solution is working!

I am getting tights to replace these socks soon.

Showing the full braid. Messy, I know, but this was after a full day's wear.

This is my first time wearing a full Gothic outfit on an occasion other than a funeral, and the lady at the restauraunt complimented me on it. (Very nice of her :))

It was amusing though, as while I walked down the street several people gave me odd looks, and while I was admiring a statue while waiting for the others, this old man in a car stared at me with his mouth partially open.

I attempted to ignore him, (albeit with a smile) but when I looked at him a few minutes later, he still had this shocked look on his face, and when I climbed into the car he craned his neck forward and gawked as we drove away.

He must've either liked my outfit or had never seen a Goth before. :P

Anyhow, farewell now! I hope you like this outfit post! -Cherish
