[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 184089, member: 3907"] Heather, what a great post. Good for you for passing the Goth/Gothic test. Back in the 80s, I was a Goth (although back then there was no difference between Goth and Gothic. I had no idea). Reading your posts, and Marg's posts about easy child 2/difficult child 2's wardrobe is making me realize that, although I thought I had mostly grown out of the goth look, I still retain many of the trappings. They're just toned down and disguised a bit, to fit in with the conservative and corporate (but still very creative) job I hold. Lots of black leather boots, many with buckles or shoe buttons. One fabulous pair of knee high lace-up grannie boots. Long black skirts (tailored instead of ragged or hobbled or diaphanous). Yes, corsets, real ones. Just worn under conservative wool business suits. Jet black hair (of course, that happens to be my natural colour). Tight leather jackets (in colours other than black, so that they're less severe and can pass as the top half of a business suit) There are lots of ways to make it work. Glad to hear that your daughter did the research and found the positive aspects of the fashion statement. Thanks for bringing back some fun memories. Trinity [/QUOTE]
