I’m pretty certain that this summer is going to cause me to lose my mind. One day, Southern CA is 100 degrees and humid, the next it’s almost chilly during the day and freezing cold at night. And it’s nearly August. I never know how to dress any more!!
We headed out to a tiny car show last weekend, then did some cruising around town with a couple of other cars and some really awesome people. I wore an outfit very similar to what I wore for the recent rat rod show, with the exact same top in a very different color . I added lace fingerless gloves and a necklace. The skirt is similar also, but I like this one much better. More about it in one of my previous posts from way back! So glad I brought the blazer again (yes, same blazer as the last car show), although long sleeves would have been nice! I ended up wearing Mr. Kitty’s Dickies jacket for the last hour of the evening!
I invented another fun center-part hair style. This one also requires the use of synthetic hairpieces (unless you have short, thick hair and are okay with lots of teasing). I used the Glamarama pieces by Dancing with the Stars. I find this highly amusing, as I am pretty sure they never thought their products would appeal to Goths and they certainly didn’t intend for TWO to be used at once. Let me proudly state now that I never have seen and never will see that show, and would almost be ashamed of myself for buying into their gimmicks… But I look at it like this: capitalist gimmick or not, if it benefits me I win in the end. And I used Sally Beauty coupons for them, so double-win! 
The style is simple: just create two high pigtails, wrap them into buns, and clip these hairpieces on top of the buns!
Okay, it's decided now: I'll let my hair grow long again, starting right after my birthday in August.I want to copy your hairstyles – your hair looks always amazing.
More hairpieces to add to my 'one day when I have money' wishlist. <3
What a great outfit!
I really like the hot pink on you! The lace banding around the skirt is fabulous. And that new hairstyle is fantastic, as always. And let me tell you, you make glasses look HAWT!
I actually avoid wearing my glasses … perhaps it's time to embrace my inner glasses-wearing gal? Darling, you are an inspiration!
Gorgeous as usual.
When I was a tiny babybat (when I was like, twelve, thirteen, when I finally started wearing skirts again), I had a skirt like that.I don't know where it went, and now I am depressed because i remembered it. xP
Tres elegant as usual! Keep experimenting with your hairstyles–I love seeing what you can do!
Awesome hair! Sorry about the fickle weather. Sounded nice cruisin', though, with handsome Mr. Kitty in a sweet ride.
I feel your pain w/the weather – in Chicago, if it's not 100+ degrees, it's storming and flooding – WTF summer?!
I admire the way you're so creative with your hairstyles! I tend to stick with the same old styles, rarely trying anything new.This must be the pink you told me about?! Love it. This shade of pink looks dynamite matched with black.
Mary, I think glasses are sexy! Maybe that's just because I'm stuck with them.
I usually try to wear contacts on the weekends, but sometimes I just don't bother. Actually the evening I wore this, there were six of us hanging out and we all had black glasses. We were like a cool and artsy gang. ;-DSal, I think short hair is super-cute too, and certainly easier to care for (at least I assume so). Also most of my hairpieces would work well with short-ish hair too, as long as your hair is long enough to put into hair ties. But if you are in the mood for a change, go for it!ultimategothguide, lol. 
You have such nice, thick hair (at least it so it looks in photos) that you could probably do just about anything with it without hairpieces!! CookingChinchillas, thank you! Weekends are for fun outfits. 
Sunduri Das, thank you so much. 
Kitty Lovette, sorry! 
But you are an awesome seamstress, so you could just recreate it!BettyZade, it was still such fun despite the stupid weather. As you well know, we have no choice around here but to get used to it!Hexotica, thanks! I was SO boring with my hair for soooo many years, it's fun to be more creative now.Piper, that's insane! Hang in there; hopefully the fall will be more stable for everyone!!Joy, yes this is the awesome pink that I totally love!! Excellent for the colorful Goth. 
You make 100+ degree weather look awesome. I love the skirt. I tend to wear longer dresses and skirts in very hot weather; I find they are more comfortable and airy.
I love the outfit, and your hair looks lovely. And your lipstick is gorgeous!
