Wayward Mermaid

    In my beginning attempts at adopting this fashion craze I discovered this YouTuber Wayward Mermaid. The shops she suggests are only located in England so unless you live there it's not all that helpful. Her videos are still very helpful though. I especially appreciate her guide to pastel goth video.Plus, she's British :3
 Enjoy!

Wiki Fail: Pastel Goth

     This evening I had decided to explore the various definitions of pastel goth. This endeavor was quickly stopped when I discovered Wikipedia has no page on Pastel Goth! You would think a style/subculture so heavily into Tumblr and other social media would have at least one person compile a Wiki page other than a WikiHow. I'm no expert therefore I'm not going to even dare to try. Still, it is a failure of the emerging culture to not have this simple resource for others to refer to. Any hardcore pastel goths out there, please fix this?

Love Culture Links

     Pastel goth is a unique style this isn't always easy to find in one place. However, I've discovered that Kim Kardashian's (vomits in mouth slightly) Love Culture is an excellent place to find it all! Leggings, shirts, studs, pastels, bows, crosses, skirts, pants and dresses all for a reasonable price, although waiting out the sales is a smarter approach. These are some things I've bookmarked...






























Picies!

Salutations

     Hello creeps and geeks! I'm sort of new to the whole pastel goth style/subculture, but I intend to record my journey to pastel goth-dome step by step on this blog. This includes product postings, tips and tricks I learn from painful experience or digging on the internet and general happenings involving my new found image.

     I am also a top notch art student who enjoys playing with color so be prepared for odd drawings.

     My transformation has already begun in small steps. My hair is ombred purple, I have a small collection of pastel goth accessories, and I have begun the assembly of clothing. I'll post the items I've collected after this post.
