I've been buying beige rugs and hating them for ten years because I thought goth furniture was either cheap costume stuff or didn't exist. This is the first piece in my apartment that actually feels like mine. My boyfriend said the room finally makes sense.

The fit on the velvet dress is unreal. I'm usually terrified of buying clothes online but the measurements were spot on and it actually flatters. I was scared it would look cheap in person. It doesn't. Wore it out once and got stopped three times asking where it's from. I get to be the smug one now.

First piece in my closet that actually feels like me. Wore it once and three people asked where it's from. The fabric is heavier than I expected, which is the point. Nothing flimsy or costumey about it. Already eyeing what's next.
