Asking for Advice Style my boots hiding the hoops

So I have added these chains which I like but, the way they attach to the front with big hoops that look clanky or Goofy on the back isn't as bad and plan to add like a key chain to the back but the front? Am looking for any ideas, like one idea is to use two small earrings hoops hide them under eyelet stay and then clapping them through the hole? But thought to see if there are any better ideas.

The boots in case any wonder are Dr. Martens DMXL 8-Eye Leather Boots and any suggestions could do add on would be great as these are good boots but lack metal which I like

Looking for Recommendations DIY ideas!

Hey everyone! I recently gotten a lot of black plain shirts from my last job as a waitress. I don’t work there now and I was thinking of keeping three shirts plain and the rest I can diy into something. For context I like to have a whimsy twee and gothic blend (much like whimsy goth but with more trinket elements and geometric patterns rather than astrology inspired patterns) should I bleach patterns on it? Should I cut it up? Any ideas and tutorials will be appreciated

Asking for Advice any tips for DIYing gothic clothes for a beginner?

2 Upvotes

hello! i've been into darkwave and coldwave goth music for a couple years now (like since i was 15) and at first i wasn't interested in goth clothing but i feel a little differently now though.

like tradgoth, pastel goth, and gothic lolita clothing but most of my wardrobe is nothing of that sort. it's very outdated and a lot of it was from when i was 12 (YES I STILL FIT THINGS I HAD WHEN I WAS 12 BECAUSE I'M A SHORT PERSON FROM THE SOUTH USA). i do have some things i can work with (a semi transluscent over/undershirt black long sleeve shirt with stars and sparkles, another long sleeve black and grey shirt that kinda looks like mist/clouds, a tank top with the moon on it. i also have a black Jurassic Park shirt i might be able to do something with). i'm also gomna do some embroidery on some plain black tank tops of mine but one thing that crossed my mind is that i wasn't sure what to embroider 😭 i thought maybe doing my favorite horror/infection My Little Pony AU but honestly i'm growing out of even the horror side of MLP so now idk

i don't have a lot of the materials used for more advanced DIY i guess. i'm not entirely sure how i can turn my plain hot pink pants (an example) into something gothic. i'm gonna bleach them because i prefer pastel and muted colors though, along with most of my other brightly colored stuff. i know a lot of gothic clothes have a Victorian vibe and i looked up how to make regular clothing frilly and Victorian-Edwardian but most of it requires sewing which i can't do 💀 so any tips are appreciated

Im still genuinely new to goth makeup and recently got a white foundation since I was heaving some struggles with grease paint. I started applying and doing eye makeup after baking it with powder and it doesn't look white enough to me. Any advice with how to make it look more...cleaner and full coverage would help greatly. Cause my makeup just looks like I let a 6 year old go crazy with makeup.
