Goth Spring Wardrobe

I read enough about fashion and in an attempt to get my self back from new mumness I have gutted my wardrobe and created a spring capsule wardrobe. It didn't involve buying much, which is good as we are broke. But a quick trip to Primark and New Look has seen me right.

I am going with a lace and military theme in black (surprise surprise) and silver with pink accents ('cos I'm a sucker for shocking pink) and a bit of floral as I had it lurking. I've had to keep a few pieces aside for work wear as I will be going in a bit more now and can't rock up in jeans and a milk stained Tee.

The major principles of GothMum fashion are simple and very effective.

1. You can't spend much money.  Use what you already have and buy from charity shops and discount high street.  I have no pride, school shoes come before handbags!

2. All GothMum outfits should be glamorous and fabulous but also practical enough for a spontanious trip to the park; ie you should be able to pick up a small child without showing your tits or knickers.

3. It must wash or wipe, milk, icecream, chocolate and even vomit are all part of the GothMum world.

4.The Goth is in the details and in subtlety.   These may look quite boring outfits but teamed with a pair of jack skelington ear studs, or a pair of killer boots these take on more of a Goth edge.  I have finally realised I am not 17 any more and have to tone it down a bit.

OK, So here are the pics, this first one is the entirety of my wardrobe now, I'm quite chuffed with it.

This first outfit is my new grey lace dress.  It looks great with jeans, leggings or tights and will be my glam staple.

This is my serious lace outfit, all from bits in my stash. I love Goth, it just keeps coming around. I can pull bits and pieces from my cupboards to fit a seasonal trend and really will only have to buy one or two key pieces each season to remain absolutely fabulous.

This is my guilty pleasure.  Not Goth at all but very pink and girly, for those days when I don't want to kill everyone in the world.

But after all that Ill be the first to admit that a lot of the time I will be mooching around the house wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a drooly baby!
