I especially love seeing how other women incorporate the goth look into their more 'mature' styles, and how they mix it with other genres like punk or vintage. It goes to show that we don't have to stop having fun with fashion just because we get older. I really love this lady!

There is something so awesomely inspiring about hearing (or reading) someone speak with soulful passion about their own personal style, even if it isn't the same of my own (I'm actually a major goth at heart and have slowly been letting that side of fashion personality slip back into my wardrobe again - yippee! :)).<br /><br />Big hugs & happy Halloween week wishes!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28258923500907743592015-10-27T23:11:04.666-07:002015-10-27T23:11:04.666-07:00Cool!
