Gothic style tips: accessories

                       

How do you spice up a dull, boring day at the office, style-wise?

Well the answer is: Accessories.

Many jobs have a dress code, and well, even if there is not an official dress code, many Goths have to dress down at work.

It’s not always the case that you might have an open minded boss, or co-workers for that matter, so unfortunately, your wardrobe might have to be compromised.

Truth be told, sometimes even myself, whenever I get ready for a first-time meeting with a customer, I dress down a bit. I try and look a bit more serious and professional. And it’s ok.

But that doesn’t mean you have to completely give up your style. So what do you do?

Same thing as I do. Keep your Goth accessories on.

I might wear a simple pair of jeans and a black shirt along with a black cardigan (yes well, all of my clothes are black) but I do keep my favourite skulls ring on, and I paint my nails black.

Here you can see some of my Goth accessories.

As you see, I have a pair of small skull earrings, a skull ring, a ring with a Diablo-like figure, a black ring which was gift from a girl at work, a necklace made from small black beads and of course, my black nail polish.

And that’s only a few of them. There so many choices of goth accessories out there that can transform an outfit completely.

As my boyfriend keeps telling me “ it’s all in the details”. And no, he is not talking about fashion, he has no clue, but he uses that expression a lot, for various subjects.

How about you? Do you manage to keep your gothic style intact at work, or do you have to compromise a bit?
