I love the goth look, but I really enjoy colours. I do love red, though, so maybe I need to go for red and black more often. I mean, how cool is this? Can I be a colourful goth at 53 years old? Is that allowed? 🤣 Red and black knitting, here we come! #knitsky #beginnerknitter #australian #craft 🧶 - ThreadSky

Trust me sister, at 53 you can do whatever the fuck you want. It will prepare you for when you’re 70 and you really don’t give a shit what anyone thinks.

Did you see my reply to myself? I reckon I’m 90-95% already at the stage where I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks. LOL!

I’m very much looking forward to reaching the 100% stage.

Yes, I believe you can be a colorful goth at 53. If anything, it makes you more bad ass. 🖤😁

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

🤣

(Also, I know I don’t have to be ‘allowed’ to do anything I want with my style. It’s kind of a rhetorical question to myself and more about if I would actually follow through and continue with any set style for myself.)

I don't give a **** what people think about how I look. I figure clean and dressed are the only 'rules'. If the thought of wearing it pleases me, then that's what I wear.

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well, I usually cover the second one, anyway. 🤣

If you decide to say fuck it and follow through, looking up pastel goth might give you inspiration on how to incorporate the color 🤷🏼‍♀️ also I love that YouTuber.

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

She’s so great, hey.

I’d come across Pastel Goth before, but maybe I need to look into it again.

Also whimsy goth which is less unicorn bright but still colourful !

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ha. I hadn’t heard of that one! I really need to look up all the different kinds of goth.

paintchips.bsky.social•31 days ago

There’s a few j’y husband just requested a project with black yarn so I’m looking for one that’s actually black and not dark blue !

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

Finding a proper black is harder than people think!!

hearthlyhealing.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh yeah I forgot about that one. I don’t ever really go for any specific aesthetic so I forget a lot of them BUT knowing them is super helpful for inspo!!!

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yeah, same here, which is why I wonder if I would bother. But using cool stuff like that for inspiration is a great idea. 😊

katknits.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well, as someone at the forefront of Goth, I'm somewhat older than you and I don't give a flying fig about what is/isn't allowed 🤣

ferrous1972.bsky.social•31 days ago

Haha. Thus my second part. LOL!

You do you. At 53 you can choose whatever you want.
