I used to dress in this style a lot, but I haven't done so in years. I am trying to get back into it. I am not calling it pastel goth, as it is not really a goth style (no connection to music) and I am also influenced by j-fashion.
My goal with this style is to add gothic/dark elements with softer things. This includes a lot of peignors and fuzzy fabrics, mixed with things like fishnets, ripped band tees, saftey pins, and other goth and punk elements. I am not really considering this punk or goth, but I am using elements from my punk and goth wardrobes. I want to look dreamy (floaty fabrics and such) while also having an edge. I figured that this could be a good way to make more outfits out of what I already have.
These are some of the DIYs that I am considering/planning: cut up my pastel pink Overlook Hotel(The Shining) shirt, cut up and saftey pin a peignor that no longer fits me properly,...
I already have a lot of the elements I need, but it would be nice to alter some clothes I don't wear anymore to embody the cute and creepy elements at the same time.
