Pulling Off Goth? Read this Article First!

   Depending on when (and in some cases where) you went to high school, you might have come across your friendly neighborhood Goth kid. Any Goth kid might have told you that pulling off the Goth look entails a little more than just wearing all black, dying your hair black, and spending a considerable portion of each day brooding.  In the days of Wonder Woman costumes and Harley Quinn costumes, you might be looking for something a little more edgy and distinct. When you’ve outgrown your Harry Potter costume (or your Hermione costume for that matter), the Goth look just...
