Sooo today is the day!

Im going out to celebrate my bday and wanted to share my today's fit idea.

Just in advance Sorry for blush blindness which I definitely suffer for today XDD

I paired two pairs of stocking with a distressed top on straps(and fishnet top underneath)and black jeans skirt with a spikey leg garter.

Added a nice lacey pareo with roses pattern on it to add a lil bit of flowy effect.

As for jewellery I added spikey earrings with choker ,amethyst necklace and my favourite one with bird skull 🖤

On top of that I added simple black sneakers with chunkier soles.

Hope you guys and have good and somehow bearable Monday today! (I personally hate Mondays lol-exept today)

I embroidered more animals on my shorts . . . a bat and opossum!

The stuff around the bat is chalk, to mark where I wanted to stitch. It washes out.

I have 1850s penitential scourge, a taxidermy dove, and taxidermy Swedish rook and carrion crow as well which I haven’t hung up yet.

The ouija board is an original 1919 with its planchette as well.

Pants thrifted old navy, shirt my very first and only piece from ALLSAINTS. Look for being out and about and at our annual goth picnic. It’s hard being a 42 year old 18 year old and sometimes I lean into the elegance of age.

Asking for Advice Do you need to take peircings out for a careers day event ?

2 Upvotes

I am going to a careers day event soon to see what local job opportunities there are for me; both long term and temporary, I looked up the dress code for careers days and I am planning to wear a modest pinstripe dress and a matching blazer to be smart. For my long term goal I want to be a UI designer for games, websites and apps but for temporary work I am looking at jobs that aren't too practical or dangerous and not too social or too corporate like working in a library or basic roles in an office that don't require interaction with the public; like scanning documents on or keeping databases updated.

Do careers day events have specific unwritten social cues against peircings ? I know jobs used to be fully against anything that wasn't "basic" but I keep hearing of social changes, even in jobs that are not creative. I have a friend who works at a job interacting with the public and she is allowed to wear a full face of piercings even for the interview and my mum works and Tesco and apparently they hire people that have tattoos and piercings; but is this the same with my line of work ?

For record, I have a singular septum ring and live in the UK

Asking for Advice Any ideas on how to style a black maxi dress?

7 Upvotes

It’s not exactly skintight, it’s a tad bit larger. I was thinking maybe a corset and fishnets with a bunch of jewellery.
