On the Cusp

I did dress up a few days already now that I'm on winter break, but I'm much more inclined to just hang out in sweats and cozy hoodies. Terrible, I know.

Before Christmas:









Outfit: Hat- The Enchanted Hat Scarf - Walmart Vest - thrifted Blouse - Walmart Bloomers - Bodyline Tights - unknown Flats - Walmart
Christmas Eve:








Outfit: Hat - Walmart Blouse - Walmart Skirt - DEB Fishnets - Target Flats - Walmart Necklaces - Target/Gift
Christmas Day:






Outfit: Dress - Handmade Blouse - thrifted Fishnets - Target Flats - Walmart Necklace - Target Belt - Wet Seal


I hope you all had a good holiday season. Mine was....decent, actually.

I have taken the liberty of deleting all the truly personal and disturbing blog posts I submitted recently. I figure there's no point in complaining about the same problems over and over again and I'm afraid such thing might actually deter future blog followers. Not that I don't appreciate all the wonderful and helpful comments you all left for me, but I can't leave those posts up there for others to find one day or as possible negative triggers for myself. From now on, all such darkly personal thoughts will be posted somewhere private.

In more (somewhat) cheerful news: I now have two new cats staying at my mom's place. Shadow AND Wolf. Shadow is back permanently but Wolf is only sticking around for the winter holidays and then going back to his rightful home. He's a very friendly and aggressive cat, likes to get into everything, and has even broken some things. Naughty, naughty.





Anyways, this was their hangout spot on Saturday night. Shadow thought it would …

I'm not an incredibly unique person, I'll admit that. I'm inspired by a lot of different things and a lot of different people. Over the years and more so recently I've come across some really fantastic bloggers and Youtubers that have inspired me to become more myself or to push my limits and here are some of them:



1. KazlovesBats

Allison is a wonderful Goth blogger from Germany who just so happens to have a very interesting and Gothy-infused Youtube channel. She covers such things as dealing with people who don't like you dressing Goth to how to tease your hair just right. She's friendly, ramble-y, and very intelligent!

2. TheAlternativeDrug

A v-logger from the UK, she is a fabulous example of alternative culture and cute as a button. She doesn't have many uploads yet, but I'm looking forward to more from her. My favorite video thus far is the one where she talks about misconceptions surrounding alternative cultures. 

3. Kill Natalie

This girl is so cute and…

It's been a while since I've really bothered to dress up at all and if you've read any of my previous posts, you may hazard a guess as to why. Today was much of an improvement, however!, I did don an interesting pair of glasses to spice things up a bit.


They're red. Yes, they're red glasses. I sneaked them out of a Halloween costume display earlier this year and this is the first time I've actually worn them out and about. It's a little difficult to get used to seeing everything in red, but it's not too shabby to see the world through rose colored glasses.


I really like this top. It's something I picked up at Walmart a week or two ago when I had no clothes at my boyfriend's and needed something to relax in. I like the sleeves - tight around the wrists and gradually loosening before devolving into some bat-wing sort of creation. It's comfy, so I'm not going to complain.


With that I wore a simple pair of black sweats and my biker boots. I…
