Summertime Is Here

I meant to post this like a week or so ago but with everything going on I haven't, so here it is, and hopefully not too late.

Summer happpens to be one of my less favorite times of the year and more so once August comes around.  But here I am actaully happy about this summer because it's bound to be a cooler one with the high probably no more than 90 degrees instead of closer to a hundred.  But even so it's still hot and wearing black in the hot sun isn't very pleasent if you ask me.  So here I am going to state my tips for a gothy summer wardrobe.

 Summer is the time for staying our way too late, having fun with friends, camping, going on vacations and of course the water parks.  Even though for me w because there is more day light, water parks and swimming really aren't my favorite thing.  Summer, welcome it as an old friend or dread the heat and stay inside till it gets late enough out.  For me I only like to go out in the morning and in the evening because heat isn't my favorite either.  But as everyone knows, no matter what, if the sun is out and it starts getting nice out put on sun block.  I really have to make sure I do since skin cancer runs in my family.  I hope I'm not allergic to the sun though... my grandma is.

I go for the cut up and more ripped look in the summer with my shirts, leggings, and even a pair of teal pants.  In the winter when it gets really cold, into the teens, you end up covering up a lot, and anything that's ripped or cut up into that shredded look is too cold, but in summer wearing that stuff feels good.  So first tip of summer is bring out your clothes that you ripped and shredded up. 

I must say I really like the look of wearing very faded (flare) jeans and a black shirt with, lets say, a cross or rib cage on it and a few necklaces and bracelets.  Faded jeans don't get as hot as waering black or darker ones, and pants that are flare are my favorite ones to wear in the warmer weather, and heck, it's even better when they're ripped some, either boughten that way or not.  Also I like to wear white and black plaid short or bermuda shorts, after all what better to keep you more cool than white.  Plus I have a love of plaid.

And then there's anything that is airly and flowing, like maybe a maxi skirt or a blouse.  Like wearing a tank top and long flowing skirt (a look I also like for summer). 

And definitly lighten up on any layering.  On of the nice things about black is that even if it looks see through and it's very thin, you can still wear it and not worry about anything showing through it, up like lighter colors.  I have a shirt that is paper thin but you would know up til you held it out.

I would also advise lightening up on jewelry if your like me and like to wear three or more necklaces.  Wear a a chain with a big pendent one it, which for me would be my big cross my gandma gave me, or my skeletal key. 

I use to like to pull up my hair into whatever wacky creation I could think of that still looked good, but it's too short still.  But when I get long hair again that is what I will be doing.  Or your could get a very short hair cut with not hair on the neck (which I what I did last year).  And at Target for instance, they have a very nice mesh sun hat.
