Not. A. Caroler

[cupcake_goth]

The planchette brooch and black veils on the hat should be a clue. And apparently they were, because miracle of miracles, no one asked if I was a caroler*! I did get asked if I was dressed up for a party, but that's a standard comment I get**.

The hat is the silk topper I got in November, with the vintage floof I added. It's so lightweight! I didn't realize top hats could be so light!


*I think holiday carolers are very fun, and I like them. But the many years of strangers assuming top hat = Dickensian caroler has made me eye-rolly about it.

**Another miracle: no one mentioned steampunk, either. Again, I'm fond of steampunk, but dammit, the goths want their top hats back!

You look beautiful.

Oh and there are not enough gears and clockwork things to make it Steampunk.

You look AWESOME. I covet that brooch! And everything else!

Love the curls -- you are extra-cute (and extra-skeptical) today!

<3!

part of my brain says "holy shit, this is the first year you haven't gotten accused of being a caroler in longer than I can remember"

and the other part of my brain says "season isn't over yet"

still, out at Christmas with the accusation is a major coup!

1. Love this. All of it, especially the curls.
2. Who on earth sings through a veil, except maybe at an über-Christian funeral?
