Punk/ Goth/ Even Emo, please read,,
Trends aren't important to me but making my style my own is important to me. I know I can't be original but I need some help. For reasons irrelevant to the question a large amount of my clothing has disappeared. 8-) I am NOT emo, but I think someone who is emo might be able to help me. =/
In the makeup department I'm good and in the hair department I'm okay but I need some ideas for clothes.. stuff I could find laying around the house and do something really cool with.. Cutting the fingers off gloves type stuff.. only something I haven't thought of.
I currently have limited money and supplies so the cheaper your answer the better- lol. Any hair ideas that are easy and cheap would be nice too. I usually wear it down or in a ratty bun or over my face.
I feel kind of stupid for asking this on here but nobody knows who I am so it must be safe! Haha.
Please help and thank you.
THANKS A WHOLE LOT.
Any answer is pretty much a good answer on this one!

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Go through your closets, even your parents' closets, and see what you find (that they don't mind you wearing, obviously). Basically have fun with it. Don't look at any item of clothing one way but experiment with lots of different ways to wear it. Maybe a skirt can turn into a top, or that really long t-shirt you found and hated can be cinched at the waist with a belt and worn over leggings/ skinny jeans.
Cutting things up is always fun. Be creative and make large artistic holes in the sleeves, or cut the neckline into a completely original shape (maybe so that it only goes over one shoulder, has a double neckline, or ... well cut necklines just look really good generally on old shirts).
You can also pretty much personalize anything with stencils and acrylic paint. This paint won't come out in the wash, and you can find pretty much anything online (print out a large image from google and cut out whatever areas you want to appear on the clothes) if you are nervous about yourself in the painting department, or just want a more foolproof design. Lots of well fitting, cheap, basic t-shirts can be modified this way to become personalized and amazing.
Another must (especially if you lack lots of clothes) is layering. Wear tank tops over t-shirts and long-sleeved shirts, and dresses/skirts over pants (that also helps with the whole people-looking-at-your-undies-problem). Accessories are also very useful, such as scarves that you can fold multiple different ways, and long sashes that you can use as a scarf or a belt. Vests are also good because you can wear them with anything. If you get armwarmers you can wear summer tops in the winter and not freeze, so you make use of what you have even more.
For the stores, anything goes. If you want to create a more personalized style, second hand/thrift stores may take more expertize to shop in, but the prices and the results are worth it. You could also go to a mall when there are sales and buy whatever looks interesting. It's good to have some basic well fitting clothes as "staples" ie jeans and leggings that you can wear with/under anything.
For the hair, generally it helps to get one good haircut so you never have to think about it again. You could also try going to bed with braids to curl hair... anything else I could suggest would be more complicated and require products, so that is for you to experiment. If you have longer hair, though, it could be fun just to play with how many different up-dos you can make by letting pieces of your hair hang down, or by one day putting your hair in a half-bun, for example.
Basically, you don't actually have to follow any of this. Just experiment and go crazy and wear whatever you feel like at that moment. Don't ever say you can't be original - we were all born that way.
Happy styling!

I'm not emo, but I'll try to help! Be creative when it comes to clothes. I suggest that learning how to sew (if you already don't know) would help out. That way you can make your own clothes and you'll wear what you like. Look through your closet and try putting things together that you normally wouldn't wear. It's creative and you actually might like it. You can go on myspace and look at some people
s pages. Their clothes and ideas might inspire you and you could even think of your own ideas. If you want a different look, change your hairstyle. Maybe cut it, dye it, add a different color? Anything. Trying different hairstyles and test out different eye shadows. Be creative with you look and do what you think will make you look good and as long as you like it, it's all that matters.

Well. I'm sorta preppy, but I THINK and I'll TRY to give you some good places : )
-synth-tec.com
-goodgoth.com
-torrid.com (plus-size)
-try some thrift shops (punk is actually a revitalization of the '80s, so you can catch some stuff there)
-subculturearray.com
-beeunique.co.uk
Hope those ideas help!
(After Feedback) What?! Only a 3! I thought this was some pretty good stores, and some pretty damn good advice! They're not THAT expensive, and trust me, I know NO ONE who shops there, so you WOULD BE UNIQUE!!! And what about any answer is a good answer? : ( I am now officially very upset with you, whoever you are.
