Inspiration - alternative maternity fashion

I don't want to became one of that terrible blogging high-funcional mother who posts everything about herself and her child, but... The problematics of alt maternity fashion is something I am now going through and I myself am desperately searching for something that would inspire me.
Here we go.

So. My wardrobe is starting to be limited, I can't wear shorts, my favourite tights are too small for my big butt, all my super favourite t-shirts are too tight. I don't want to buy new expensive pieces just for a few months.
So the main thing that I learned is that you need to pay more attention to jewelry. Don't be afraid to add some more elements than you used to.
Simple but stylish.. Jessie batt
The main routine for me is some chocker and one or two silver pendants as my ankh, hamsa or moon. I would also love wear some chainlet harnesses cause I think I need to decorate not just a neck part, but also around brests or belly.

Next thing I've learnd at this time is that I can wear whatever I want - if it fits. So I forgot about my old doubts "isn't this too much? isn't it too girly/provocative/masculine for me?"
I started to wear fishnet tights and leather jackets again. I am not afraid of stupid catcalls casue the truth is that if you're visibly pregnant, almost nobody will catcall you - and if yes, they are 100% idiots and it's not your problem. 

I'll have super-mega big belly in summer, so I am not so interested in cloaks, jackets, sweaters etc. The thing I am absolutely passionate about is TOP CROPS.
It's a big trend now, you can buy it everywhere. You can wear black harness-like top crop, psychedelic printed top crop, some super dark-evil printed top crop, whatever. 


I myself am proud owner of this witchy top crop. Now it looks so funny with my belly - it's like the witch is hexing my child down there :D 


Another thing I'm plaining to create is some laced oversized something that is wearable on bra or top crop. Something like this:
you can buy it here
It shouldn't be hard to sew it, but I need to find a good black laced fabric.

You can always wear any black over-sized black dress or dresses with typical maternity pattern, you can wear any black t-shirt, skirt with rubber waist, whatever... and than you can add whatever you want. Everything is about details! It's also good to play and combinate materials as leather, lace, velvet etc., but it's not a new information. 

But honestly.. I myself am just too lazy to goth-up myself, so I am wearing whatever I find comfortable.

Shoes I hate

Hello!
Today Im going to be evil and full of hate. After I showed you my shoe wishlist Im gonna write about (mostly goth) shoes I don't like. So let's start quickly!

1. Chelsea shoes
I am just soo overfeeded with this trend and the only thing I see is horse-lover's shoes. On heel. With absolutely ugly rubber. Add the platform so everyone can feel like unique snowflake.
But I like it on males somehow. It makes them look elegant and original. And adult.

2. Some kinds of winklepickers
For example theese from Demonia. I just hate this little heel so much, I just can't even stand needle heels. And the buckles. I just don't get it. It makes me angry so much. Why not to be elegant for a while? Why is it so childish? Are we playing a game "who looks more dark and evil"? I want to look good without being a target of stupid jokes. I just don't know what is nice on theese shoes, please explain this to me.

3. New rock boots
Another thing I don't understand. What is so pretty on theese? For me it looks like ski boots.
Are theese shoes for a 150kg Rambo? War shoes? I don't see anything fashionable. And when I saw a person walking in it, it really looked like when you're trying to walk in ski boots, looking for a skies. And I think it looks terrible on females same as it looks terrible on males.

4. RHS shoes
I had RHS too and I don't hate all the types, but I hate most of them. I'ts the sape of front part. This round thing which reminds me ballet shoes. Its weird and shiny and alwas ugly fake leather. I don!t like the fact that it's just shiny and without any pattern or lace or shoelace! So this is the type of RHS shoes I hate, but there are some types that I like. For example when the front part is quite inspired with oxford shoes or some pattern or when it's made from suede or real leather.
5. Iron Fist heels
This is beacuse in my opinion, heels like this are unweareable. And another thing is that it's just colorfull mess and I think noone will ever notice that it's a zombie print. I just think it should be printed on something much more visible than heels. But - well... heels are just not my style.


6. Killstar shoes full of pentagrams
I wrote whole article about over-using symbols HERE. I would never wear anything with prefabricated pentagrams.

7. Curved platform shoes

it looks retarded. That's all. It just looks retarded and weird af and i hate it.





It's always hard with shoes and I am really choosy and it's really simple for me to dislike some kind of shoes.
Do you have an explanation for me regarding this kind of winklepickers or new rock boots? Or others? Tell me! It's just mine opinion and it doesn't need to be same as yours! 
Which shoes would you put into your hate list?

My favourite OOTD bloggers

Hello (someone??)!
I would like to make a list of my favourite ootd bloggers and share it with you. I myself am trying to shoot some ootds and Im posting them on my tumblr and I am following there some awesome people having really inspiring style.

1. Mai Magi
Mai Magi is in the role of absolutely white side good guy when it comes to opinions, but that's cute :) When it comes to fashion, she is not afraid of anything. She's a lady, fairy and warrior in one person. I absolutely love her dark fantasy inspired outfits, I like that her attitude is not screaming "I AM THE FASHION ICON AND IM GONNA RULE THE WORLD", she's as calm as her fashion style is, but still so original that noone of us could even imagine..

2. Gore'n'ghibli

Gore and ghibli is a girl of trend called ninja goth and I absolutely love it. She's layering black ragged and scatted pieces and she looks like some kind of a dark ghost, i love the paranormal feeling of her fashion style. Chceck her out, she's a cute badass with an awesome style.

3. Larissa from Fox and Lionheart

Larissa is also master of layering black pieces of clothing, but in more femine hair. She's also for me the icon, she showed me that I don't need to have a black (or silver or weird colored) hair for wearing all black outfits. Shes wearing more classical goth fashion, but with unordinary ordinariness.

4. Manic Moth

I talked about Mai Magi and I can't forget Manic Moth. They seems to be somehow conncected, they are like almost the same person for me. Anyway, Manic Moth is more "hardcore", she's not afraid of really absolutely extreme things, she's wearing whatever comes to her mind and its not decent, but its breathtakingly stylish. She seems to be nice and peacefull person and yeah, you can see it in her outfits too, she's fairy, but sometimes she looks also like bloodthirsty werewolf. I love theese contrasts. 


Im trying to think about anyone else, but i just can't think about anyone who's so original and ispiring for me. I follow many of trad goths and they're great, but it's old good trad goth as we all know. I also love some strega bloggers, but they are all just taking inspiration from Mai Magi. 

Who's your favourite ootd blogger?

Thrifting tour

Hello.
I was in two big second hands yesterday and I am so happy about my haul. We have a great sales at thrift shops once in a month in my city. Whole Czech Republic is really cheap when it comes to second hand pieces, I bought 5 pieces yesterday and spent about 3 €, that's like lunch or 3 beers. But because I am lucky person, first I bought snacks, won 4 € (ongoing contest "find money inside of package") and then went to thrift shops.


So the first thing I bought are theese black dresses. They will be great in summer, but I am afraid that I'm not gonna combine it with anything. Just simple black tights under and nothing more. Also they are really really tight for me and I can see my stomach, brests and even hem of tights. But great thing is that they're showing my back, so my tattoo is visible.

Then I bought dark grey jumper and I am absolutely in love with it. It has a small pocket, its really short, ends just above the navel, you can see all the hems and there are little silver cubes hanging on a little shoelaces. I would say that it's "street punk" jumper and it's waiting for summer evenings. 

Another thing I bought is this turtle neck weird plaid with bat wings? Or how to call it. It has holes for hands and its all flaring... I love turtle necks in this season and this could be the upper layer of very witchy and strega outfits. I needed something like cape or tippet.


Than I bought same shaped thing in black, made of much thicker fabric and with buttons  There are also little holes for hands and its weirdly sewed together. I'm absoltely in love with this, it's great upper layer for layery outfits, I tried it yesterday when I went to concert to philharmonic orchestra. And it's awesome when it's freezing outside!

The last thing I bought is this vest cardigan or how to call it..? It's also nice thing for layering, I really like it, but I would never buy it for more than 1€, cause it seems for me like just piece of nonsensical fabric and it must be really simply to DIY it or DIY something else with the same flaring effect. 


I am so happy with my new pieces of clothing and I cant wait to wear all of them. I was in both shops for a really long time, madly searching, and it was worth it!

What about you and thrifting? Are you lucky?

Harnesses

Hello,
today Im gonna tell you about goth trend that Im absolutely into..

If you're looking for an aesthetic pleasure, you can see it HERE on my fashion tumblr - its full of trends I find inspiring. But today I'm gonna focus on harnesses.
It's everywhere and I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough. Leather, rubber, whatever, it works so perfectly. It's quite too much sexy and some people thinks that it has to mean you're into BDSM or whatever, but I personally don't care, I just so love how you can wear it with all black outfits and it gives them the icing on the cake. You can wear heavy leather harness with spikes for an absolutelly badass look, you can also wear chainlet harness for a more royal look. It can highlight breasts and make you look more femine or it can goes just simply in the middle of your body or like a bag if you're afraind of sexual meanings... You just can't go wrong with harnesses.
Heavy spiked leather harness if you're not afraid of extreme and provocative look.
I prefer simple stripes as this. It's more acceptable by muggles.
my idea of chainlet harness... and it can be beautifull if it's silver on long black dress...
It's also not so hard to create, I made two pieces of harness for myself and Im wearing it quite often. 
For the first ones I just had to buy fake leather belts for about 1,50 € and a few silver keychains for about 0,50 €, then I sewed it together. It fits me and noone else and with the rubber ones its almost the same except it was even cheaper.
It's inspired by Linea Aspera and it's made of some cheap fake leather belts.
Rubber harness with rubber choker I made.
Im poor so I have to DIY, but if I was rich I would buy harnesses from here:
Rabbit Heart Shop
Envy Leather
Apatico

What do you think about harnesses? I know its just everywhere on tumblr and many of you are probably absolutely sick of it, but I can't help myself, it's just aesthetical pleasure for me.

About me and fashion (since I was not blogging)

Hello.
Since I stopped blogging two years ago, I changed a lot in many ways. I told you about music. I'm also more adult and different thanks to all the things I experienced.
I was really hungry for the free life of a hippie child at 2014/2015, my music taste was infulenced by free spirit and I learnd a lot at this time. I was wearing mostly dresses with colorfull prints, I just looked like happy hippie girl at this time..


End of 2015 and start of 2016 was mostly in punk way of dressing - but that's typical for me, always was and always will (i hope). I came back to black colour, weird accesories, torned tights... but still afraid of make-up things and of being too extravagant and visible in crowd.

Summer 2016 was important for me in the fashion way. I realized how much I love to look the best way I can and that it's not a shame to love fashion, to follow the trends you like, to collect shoes etc. I decided to build my style with a passion, to create and to look however I want to, no matter what society things. I also realized that it's fun to discuss fashion with my boyfriend, who is deeply interested with fashion photography.

I finally started to shoot my ootd's again.

I sewed this hooded weird thing!
...and I created theese leatherate harness :)

I can't shoot ootd's so often now and Im really sorry about it, cause I like to see how my style is developing and changing. The thing is that we (me and by boyfriend) moved out from our old flat and we should move into our new flat, but then we found out that the floor in there is absolutelly rotten and it's impossible to live there. We come to an agreement with an owner that he'll fix it. Everything is almost done, but we had to live for three months in my mother's place just with some important things. We'll move soon, but I still have just a few important pieces of clothing and no place for shooting.



The only thing I can do is to draw my outfits.


The last and newest thing for me is that Im not afraid of make-up things anymore. I love to wear red lipstick and Im also learning to do some magical tricks with liquid eyeliner on my eyes :D Its mostly terrible, because my hand is shaking and I just can't do it symmetrical, but I'm proud begginer!



I'm looking forward to our new flat, I'll shoot my ootd's in there! And I'm also curious about how I'll change in 2017 :)
