Okay, so I’ve been totally obsessed with Harajuku gothic fashion lately. It’s just so cool and different! I decided I wanted to try putting together a look myself, so here’s how it went.
My First Steps
First, I scoured the internet for inspiration. I mean, I looked at tons of pictures. I pinned a bunch of stuff on Pinterest and saved a lot of Instagram posts. I was trying to get a feel for the different elements, you know? Like, what makes a look “Harajuku gothic” and not just, like, regular gothic?
Gathering the Pieces
Next, I hit up some online stores. It wasn’t easy! I spent hours just browsing. I finally found a few pieces I thought would work:
- A black, frilly skirt. Kinda short, but not too short.
- A long-sleeved top with some lace details.
- Some platform boots. Because, duh.
- Fishnet stockings. Gotta have those.
- A bunch of accessories. Like, a choker, some bracelets, and a hair clip with a little bow.
Putting It All Together
When everything arrived, I was so excited! I laid everything out on my bed and started trying things on. It took some experimenting, let me tell you. The first few attempts were…not great. I felt like something was missing.
I finally realized I needed more layers. So I added a black cardigan and a vest with some buckles. Much better! I also played around with the accessories until I found a combination I liked. I added my favorite boots.
The Final Look
I think the finished look is good!. It’s definitely got that Harajuku gothic vibe. It’s dark and edgy, but also kinda cute. I wore it out to a coffee shop, and I got a few compliments! It’s not something I’d wear every day, but it’s fun for a change. Now time to go show it off!
