One of my (late) birthday presents from my partner is a shirt from the brand Foxblood, and it's a long shirt (which is great because i won't accidentally show my stomach while walking) but the sleeves have these sort of thumb holes, so I can feel like the true emo 13 y/o wanted to be.

Here's the shirt for those curious (if you want to get it locally, I order from Bezerk, I say locally, they're based on QLD, so not so locally but within Australia).

I don't know what the rules are on wearing non-office clothes at work (because my clothes are mostly if not 99.99% are graphic tees) so I need to buy more office-friendly clothes. And I need clothes that fit my aesthetic, which is just my aesthetic when I was 13 but I have money now!

Aw man, I feel you on that; most my clothes are graphic tees or rainbow stuff. I have like, two blouses and a pair of black pants for my 'office look' haha

I was a lil goth, but didnt have the aesthetic. Now I'm a grown, I'm a goth in my heart, but I'm too lazy for the makeup ๐Ÿ˜‚ it is great to be able to look the way we wanted to look as kids, now that we can do what we want haha

Yeah I have like 3 long sleeve shirts (now 4 including this black one) but short sleeves I think I have like two non-graphic tees, otherwise I have two button ups but they probably don't fit. One might but the other one is a Dangerfield shirt so their sizes aren't true to size.

Otherwise I have like 5 dresses I can easily just wear during summer until I get some new shirts.

I respect goths for the makeup they do. It's crazy! I was a emo/scene kid, still am tbh but now that I'm an adult and have income I can do things that little me wanted so bad (like my nose piercing. Though I hate to disappoint younger me, I won't be getting snake bite piercings. They're cool but not my style right now haha).
