Fashion - A beautiful dark-mori outfit from tumblr

I feel like, when I was a full time goth in high school, what I was aiming for is what they're calling Dark-Mori and Strega Fashion these days. I mean, to totally date myself, I was goth right when The Cure was deposed by Marilyn Manson, and goth went from lush and pretty and put together to messy and ragged. When it merged with Grunge and Heavy Metal for a minute and came out without the Victorianisms that made me love goth so much to begin with.

Granted, I was in flipping Orlando, which is not known as a center of anything but consumerism and tourism, so I was way out of the heart of gothiness, so maybe that's why there was that sudden and harp shift. It was also the 90s, when fashion and music went bonkers, so there's that, too. And there is a lot about Marilyn Manson to like...

Yeah, but this is still a lot more what goth means to me:

PS: Somewhere in college, when I was hanging out with art majors and free thinking hippie sorts, I made a conscious decision to add color to my wardrobe. And in grad school, I fell in love with Steampunk when someone called it "when goths discover color".
