I had to laugh at your comment about dressing as a vampire at age 25: I've been dressing like one my whole life, and I turn 65 in 2 weeks. You're never too old to dress the way that makes you feel good.
"at the ripe old age of 25" is a great time to be dressing like this, honestly. I still dress alt at the age of 40 and in the South, and yes I wear it to the Walmart, because I enjoy being the most interesting thing someone's going to see all day 🤘😎
I thought it was understood that you can wear LITERALLY ANYTHING to the Wal-Mart. If people can show up in jammies they've worn for a week, you can definitely show up dressed like a vampire. Or a full-on clown, for that matter. Then again, I will wear any dang weird thing to the grocery store, and people seem to like it. I also recently won a costume contest by being literally the only one who showed up in costume. 😂
To anybody that has cool unique items they've made, thrifted or inherited: YES please wear them in public and own it! 🙏 It's such a thrill moment to see anybody being fabulous & owning it, amidst all the "blah" that often tends to be everyday fashion!
Things that stuck out to me (in a list so I can reference it again later): - Layering necklaces - Sticking to a color scheme - Looking for the right silhouettes, but in more summer appropriate cuts - Layering, but with light, flowy, flouncy pieces - Texture contrast is key - Bring in drama with makeup (helps so you can keep everything in the outfit lighter in texture, but still look vampy) - Accessories elevate an outfit from plain to dramatic - Velvet is still summer appropriate if you’re careful That’s all I could think of
I would need help with the white stuff. I have mostly black. I have colored stuff that people have given me, thinking that these would be appropriate for someone my age. These items need to be cut up and burned. Really.
Wow! 👀 I've had plenty of incompatible pressies people gave me based very much on their taste rather than mine... but I've never had them giving me clothes because they don't approve of my style?! Is this from relatives??
OMG thank you so much for teaching me the term “whimsigoth” I just fell down a rabbit hole to figure out what it is and it turns out to be a huge part of my aesthetic that I didn’t have a name for ❤
I know a lady who comes into my work all the time who’s in like, her sixties, and still dresses pastel goth, so 25 is absolutely not too old to be dressing like a vampire!
@trashotaku a live play series of the tabletop roleplay game vampire the masquerade! it's similar to a show like critical role, but for vampire the masquerade. it's great!
As someone who has made a victorian ghost boy skirt from thrift store materials, HIGHLY recommend checking the curtains/tablecloths section. I was able to get a 1.5x circle skirt out of the curtain I found.
Second-hand 100% cotton sheets & duvet covers are a heroic source of material for making those larger items! 🥰 If your opshop has enough that people who genuinely need affordable bedding can still get what they need, I highly recommend going wild in that space and saving much $$! I've bought scads of lacey crocheted & tatted doilies from op shops for deconstructing & using in adding lace trims, too... 😋
I have a thrifted white knitted sweater (it has witchy sleeves AND A COLLAR) that even my therapist is jealous of. There is literally not even a brand tag in there or anything. No one found it till this day. I can really recommend to keep looking even if you're not wearing conventional thriftstore sizes! Sometimes you just find a gem like that 💕
I loved this video! So great to see someone actually style things for summer and include a confortably score. I would love to see more videos like this, maybe you trying to style a completely different aesthetic to your normal style? Or trying to style suggestions from your followers
Have you ever designed a lightning inspired dress before? The storm in the video made that come to mind lol, it seems like the kind of thing you probably have done, but it makes me think about a potential video with other weather related characters. I think that’d be pretty cool.
You could do some really awesome stuff with embroidery & trimmings too, adding flashing dangles and reflective items to evoke that zap of light! Would love to see this!
Love seeing sprinklings of different videos from you! You have a very cool style and aesthetic - glad you found one that spoke to you! Outfits are fire without burning any innocent or not so innocent vampires and I think even the last one is a cool fantasy nonsense look, even if it doesn't work for vampirecore.
17:22 YES! chiropteran QUEEN. I love most of the outfits on here but I definitely want to try something like this. There is just something about different textures of black all put together that I love
The last one looks great! if you added some steampunk-ish googles and a messenger bag it would be a really good Frankenstein inspired look. Not vampirecore at all, but still in the realm of gothic lit.
I work a physical job but I'm off work right now and its SO weird trying to put on clothes- either I'm doing sports or hanging around the house/grocery store.... Thanks for the creative summer styling tips!
😆 Kinda know what you mean - I work freelance from home & am mostly a hermit due to medical sh*t, so actually having to get respectable for going out in public and/or having a chance to wear some of my more quirky or formal items does feel very weird! 😜
seeing you incorporate plain button ups really helped me feel inspired! I'm in that weird stage of trying to transition into a more vampire/elf/forest fairy style vibe and have no idea where to start. I haven't started getting into sewing more seriously and I can't find anything that matches the vibe I want AND fits, so seeing you incorporate some pretty "normal" stuff is really helpful. I can't thank you enough for all the inspo in this vid!!
number 5 is very Florida vampire. there has been multiple days were I live in Florida were we've had heat warning's and when you stepped outside, you were slapped with straight heat and sticky humidity. I would totally wear that also, stay safe everyone. drink loads of water and bring an umbrella for extra shade if you have to go outside.
Parasols for the win!!! 🌂 I have sun & heat sensitivity issues and can't tell you what a difference parasols make in terms of pain and intensity....? My fave is to find a great lacy parasol, and line it in thin waterproof/shower-proof fabric, to combine fun and extra coverage. Plus it's perfect for our mad 4-seasons-in-one-day weather!
Amazing outfits! Now I have inspiration for my velvet fabric! Personally I never leave the house without a black Cardigan because I am a vamp at heart!
There were some really cute outfits and some...interesting choices! My 31 year old daughter says #10 looks nun-ish and, in regards to style, says "wear what you want!" I agree; be yourself and wear all the cool stuff! I love to see people wearing what makes them happy!
Definitely agree with you and your daughter! 👏 It's such a highlight of a day (or week!) when I see somebody who's really going hard with their personal style and putting together interesting items, especially thrifted & self-made stuff? As somebody who's crafty & into sewing my own, I can't help noticing those sorts of things and going "squeeee!" 😃
I loved seeing you style different outfits! Definitely want to see more videos where you style your selfmade and thrifted items ❤ the honourable mentions were a great addition, I definitely have new ideas for my own outfits. I’m currently getting out of my comfort zone to wear more alternative outfits out and about, so this came at a great time 🥰 thank you!
Ngl, while I love the vampirecore aesthetic, it's not something I would personally wear (at least most of it isn't) BUT I still absolutely love this video of yours and your content overall. You are so entertaining to watch it always leaves me in a great mood afterwards!
absolutely loved the vibes from the whole video and pretty much all I could think about was how cool all the outfits would be in some new animated show about modern vampires trying to do a family reunion or something like that
Slow clap for the Hex Girls. Their introduction in my favorite cartoon, in 1999, at age 15, made the little goth inside me very happy. Thorn is my girl! 🦇❤🦇
Thank you for including different body types and skin tones in the fashion reference images! I know that's not always the easiest but it goes such a long way towards making more people feel included
This was a fun insight into your style POV and thought process! If you're interested in some more styling ideas, I think the black corset vest would look cool over the slouchy red button up, or maybe a shirt a little smaller so you wouldn't have to worry about bunching. And then I think the white slip dress would have looked cool with the red velvet tank on top and then some unnecessary belts as accessories 😝
hi absolutely bless the hell out of you (figuratively speaking. keep the hell, it's a look) for this video. i have ocd and have been wearing exclusively black and simple items for years just to cater to the ocd so i don't lose my mind and now that i'm finally coming out of that i hate my whole damn wardrobe and trying to express myself with my fashion is so difficult bc i can think of individual things i like but trying to make outfits or think bigger with what i buy/make is a nightmare so this is a suuuuuper helpful reference. thank you
This was great. This is very relevant to my current living situation. I recently moved to Nevada, last week actually. So this gives me a lot to work with.
i loveeeeee this! for your next one, may i suggest outfits for when you finally flee to live in the forest? mosscore/treecore/goblincore type vibes? i love the layering and you have so many new lovely tree inspired pieces you've made
Definitely this! I strongly encourage everybody to go for cotton & linen where you can find it, breathes way better than synthetics, doesn't get as smelly when sweaty, and wicks moisture away from the skin for cooling effect. Does mean you'll probably have to concede to having an iron & using one, as natural fabrics wrinkle far more, but I reckon that's a small price to pay for a major reduction in swamp pits! 😅
I recognize the majority of the songs, but you should drop the songs you used for the transitions into a spotify playlist and drop the link - because it was honestly 🔥🔥🔥 Sending my thoughts&prayers to your local thrift stores gods for you to find some white skirts and dreses.
Hi I’m hoping to make a moss/forest swamp dress by sewing scraps to a dress for the renaissance fair but I have never sewn and I have no idea how to make it or where to start. I was wondering if you could give tips on how I can make it work, also I love your content and all the work you put into everything you do.
I'm not sure how much time you have (or if you have a sewing machine) but Paperstxrs and Kiana Bonollo have some really good tips for machine sewing and Micharah Tewers is also really good for learning how to sew things in a more ~winging it~ kind of way. If you have a base dress, hand sewing may actually be easier depending on how much time you have. You could also maybe cut the pieces off later to reuse the dress! In a pinch, there's also always hot glue. Definitely the craft goblin way of doing things, but if you plan on reusing the costume a lot it's not the worst option. You can even do repairs with more hot glue ✨It's also a beginner-friendly method. Just be sure to store it in a cool place so it doesn't melt 😅 I would need to know more about the project to give more concrete advice, but I hope this helps! Also feel free to dm me on Instagram if you have more questions.
I do love that you included so many example pictures that actually included plus size and black creators. So many use pale white people as a baseline and it's great to see that subverted here.
Very much concur! Research indicates the various social media algorithms tend to push those supposed defaults pretty hard too? So anybody shoving back against that and mindfully incorporating diversity in their reference materials is aces in my book!! 👌
*Always thrift responsibly and consciously. Obviously we should all be conscious about where and how our clothes our made, but we also cannot forget how our actions affect our environment in other ways. Thrifting has certainly become a trend, but there are still plenty of people use thrift stores as their first choice because they cant afford anything else. And they’re not just buying things for themselves or to resell at ridiculous prices, theyre buying for their entire family/children. Thrifting too often affects accessibility, prices and quality of the clothing bc when people w more than enough money consistently go to spend 300, prices spike so the next time, you may be paying 350 and if THRIFT STORES are that expensive, people who DEPEND on them are left to the winds. And when you take the “good stuff” all thats left are the shein, temu, romwe that no one wants. Thrifting is good for everyone but too much of a good thing is still bad. It should be an option, not a first choice. There’s nothing wrong with also getting a great quality piece you know youll wear first hand.
i figured out the other day that my style is much like persephone's (hear me out); in the spring months its very flowy and feminine and girly, and then in the winter (when she's with her hubby) it's very gothic and vampiric . i just think thats neat (SECONDLY THE MUSIC CHOICES WHERE 10/10 THROWBACK NOSTALGIA TYVM)
i'm having a vampire themed birthday party in three days to celebrate my recovery from a very vampire-coded illness and curative treatment (aplastic anemia and a bone marrow transplant). i am Also medically always too warm (pcos) and i live in southern Louisiana. you're a life saver.
i have a video idea, basically just to take your outfits and then design ocs that would wear them. im not sure how that would but it sounds sort of interesting

how do i find your squarespace site?? i was trying to find your portfolio to show my therapist during our last session but i can’t find it anywhere :(
Your vampy outfits make you look like an actual vampy, that or you look like Sabrina
I am so glad that I can finally make my coworkers think that I’m a vampire again 🥰
Real
I had to laugh at your comment about dressing as a vampire at age 25: I've been dressing like one my whole life, and I turn 65 in 2 weeks. You're never too old to dress the way that makes you feel good.
Exactly! I'm 46 and I wear what I want!😊
As a young goth/punk that is so inspiring! You're never too old to be fabulous!
So good to hear this. At 31 I can confirm that so far, it’s not a phase.
Happy Vampy Birthday!!! You are never too old to rock whatever you want!
Happy birthday dear elder spider.
Baby bat but for old people
"at the ripe old age of 25" is a great time to be dressing like this, honestly. I still dress alt at the age of 40 and in the South, and yes I wear it to the Walmart, because I enjoy being the most interesting thing someone's going to see all day 🤘😎

Absolutely! I went to Walmart in full zombie makeup after the Nashville Zombie Walk years ago!
I have zero shame and have gone in public in a full on sock monkey onesie with footsies. EMBRACE THE ABSURD
To anybody that has cool unique items they've made, thrifted or inherited: YES please wear them in public and own it! 🙏 It's such a thrill moment to see anybody being fabulous & owning it, amidst all the "blah" that often tends to be everyday fashion!
i loved this video as someone who dresses in very victorian/vampiric goth and sometimes ouji fashion, who is dying this summer
Things that stuck out to me (in a list so I can reference it again later):
- Layering necklaces
- Sticking to a color scheme
- Looking for the right silhouettes, but in more summer appropriate cuts
- Layering, but with light, flowy, flouncy pieces
- Texture contrast is key
- Bring in drama with makeup (helps so you can keep everything in the outfit lighter in texture, but still look vampy)
- Accessories elevate an outfit from plain to dramatic
- Velvet is still summer appropriate if you’re careful
That’s all I could think of
Lovely of you to list the key points!
Would 100% watch a video of you begrudgingly making a bunch of white staple items your wardrobe is missing!
Okay this is a fantastic idea 👀
@@PricklyAlpacaI would 110% watch a whole series of that
I would need help with the white stuff. I have mostly black. I have colored stuff that people have given me, thinking that these would be appropriate for someone my age. These items need to be cut up and burned. Really.
@@damogranheart5521I am with you. I have buckets of clothing that ppl thought I should wear… idk who they thought they were buying for.
Wow! 👀 I've had plenty of incompatible pressies people gave me based very much on their taste rather than mine... but I've never had them giving me clothes because they don't approve of my style?! Is this from relatives??

paused my twilight marathon just for more vampire content 🖤
As you should
i stopped watching la by night to watch this! love taking a break from vampires for more vampires :P
@@difeth_ what’s la by night?
Lmao I started binging twilight yesterday after a Jurassic park marathon.
@trashotaku a live play series of the tabletop roleplay game vampire the masquerade! it's similar to a show like critical role, but for vampire the masquerade. it's great!

#5 is like surfer vampire, which to me sounds like the best Disney summer movie.
I have a thrifted white knitted sweater (it has witchy sleeves AND A COLLAR) that even my therapist is jealous of. There is literally not even a brand tag in there or anything.

the outfits are absolutely gorgeous! very well done! 🫀
I'd love a look book of renn faire ideas! Casual to hardcore!
And thus you created inspo for the tropigoths.
Really like these styling videos, since your style is just *insert chefs kiss*
Also gotta say, amazing music choices.

That last one looked almost like Japanese street style, or a video game protaganist, I liked of liked it. They were all cute.
I would kill for more lookbook content- I NEED more sewing project ideas that aren’t costuming
Ngl outfit 10 was giving "cool teacher that gives the main character advice while definitely knowing what's going on" in a 2010's urban fantasy novel.
Glad to see I'm not the only one in a crippling vampire loving vibe rn
I always get so excited whenever you post because you have such a nice comforting vibe mixed with adequete chaos!
The music choice for the transitions is impeccable, thoroughly enjoyed. - though I have no idea how you evaded the copyright- truly a work of magic

I’ve been leaning more towards goblin core recently, with punk and goth influences and this gives me so many great ideas thank youuuuu
Hecking around with things you already have in your wardrobe is one of my favorite formats, 10/10 would watch again.
Loved all of these looks, but that brocade flowing corset you made is 👌
You have such a unique and charming style of video making. I hope you are taking care of yourself and give yourself time to rest, you deserve it !
absolutely loved the vibes from the whole video and pretty much all I could think about was how cool all the outfits would be in some new animated show about modern vampires trying to do a family reunion or something like that
That last outfit may not work for summer vampire core but it certainly looked Jedi core to me. Thanks for the inspiring vid :)
The first and fourth outfit are so cute definitely would wear
Slow clap for the Hex Girls. Their introduction in my favorite cartoon, in 1999, at age 15, made the little goth inside me very happy. Thorn is my girl! 🦇❤🦇
The thunder wasn't interrupting you; it was finishing your sentence!
You: it is so very much--
Thunder: *booms*
Me: I see, go on.
My fav one is the one with the button-up + dress + thigh-highs. Also, I like the nature in your background.
Thank you for including different body types and skin tones in the fashion reference images! I know that's not always the easiest but it goes such a long way towards making more people feel included
This was a fun insight into your style POV and thought process! If you're interested in some more styling ideas, I think the black corset vest would look cool over the slouchy red button up, or maybe a shirt a little smaller so you wouldn't have to worry about bunching. And then I think the white slip dress would have looked cool with the red velvet tank on top and then some unnecessary belts as accessories 😝
Love seeing more of your darker vampire/alternative styles! The second outfit is so cool, I really need some red sunglasses
If it helps #10 looks like it could fit in with the plague doctor aesthetic
Definitely loved this style of video, especially since your vampcore style overlaps with my "goth renn fair casual" style.
21:12 Sameeee! I'm currently on my own personal "style journey" so this video was some great inspo ❤️❤️
I love this 🖤🦇 I am also living in a humid wasteland, so I will definitely be borrowing some ideas from this!
I didn’t know I needed this your style is everything ♥️🖤
Super helpful for those of us who have no idea how to style ourselves
“Would I wear it to the Walmart?” Yes, yes you should.
I'm fashionably incapable and I love this
hi absolutely bless the hell out of you (figuratively speaking. keep the hell, it's a look) for this video. i have ocd and have been wearing exclusively black and simple items for years just to cater to the ocd so i don't lose my mind and now that i'm finally coming out of that i hate my whole damn wardrobe and trying to express myself with my fashion is so difficult bc i can think of individual things i like but trying to make outfits or think bigger with what i buy/make is a nightmare so this is a suuuuuper helpful reference. thank you
This was great. This is very relevant to my current living situation. I recently moved to Nevada, last week actually. So this gives me a lot to work with.
yesss my continuously more vamp style may evolve. Back to goodwill!!!!
I also love the relatability of living in satan's knee pit
i loveeeeee this! for your next one, may i suggest outfits for when you finally flee to live in the forest? mosscore/treecore/goblincore type vibes? i love the layering and you have so many new lovely tree inspired pieces you've made
I'm stealing some of these for my character Salem, he needs more cute skirts
I think this type of video is really good. Having more chill videos in your arsenal is good for you
"dadvamp" lmao
every look is so cool, i'm obsessed.
Yep, as a Missourian, I go dark fairy/boho goth for the summer. I can’t handle literally anything else.
The last outfit was my favorite with all the long drapey fabric, then you said it was silly and I went :'0
my endless love of vampire shit + being a libra that loves making an outfit = perfect video
I make most of my summer clothes and use natural fiber. The natural fibers help the skin to breathe
Definitely this! I strongly encourage everybody to go for cotton & linen where you can find it, breathes way better than synthetics, doesn't get as smelly when sweaty, and wicks moisture away from the skin for cooling effect.
Does mean you'll probably have to concede to having an iron & using one, as natural fabrics wrinkle far more, but I reckon that's a small price to pay for a major reduction in swamp pits! 😅
I really liked this format of video! Its fun to see the different outfits that people come up with :)
It`s so cool! I`m realy looking forward to see more styles and
aesthetics in your performance!
Loved the inspiration! I’ve been trying to figure out how to dress in a more vampiric/punk style for the summer and this has definitely helped!
Love the outfits!! Kiera, you are amazing and i love watching your videos!
The cicada sounds at the end of the video *chefs kiss*
I recognize the majority of the songs, but you should drop the songs you used for the transitions into a spotify playlist and drop the link - because it was honestly 🔥🔥🔥
Sending my thoughts&prayers to your local thrift stores gods for you to find some white skirts and dreses.
Number 8 makes you look like a vampire pirate and I think that’s beautiful 🖤♥
I dig using the head set mic. Way to keep it going
you can wear anything to walmart, I once wore silver ram horns with a flower crown to walmart and it was hella cool
That's awesome! I bet you were the highlight of the day for anybody who saw you! 💣
actually do keep up with fits like the last ghostly one cuz that's what the hijabi girls needs 🙏🙏
you're totally right ✨will do

I do love that you included so many example pictures that actually included plus size and black creators. So many use pale white people as a baseline and it's great to see that subverted here.

#9 with a all-lace top instead of the cardigan would work nicely!
The outfits were so cool and the music!!!

Thrifting is good for everyone but too much of a good thing is still bad. It should be an option, not a first choice. There’s nothing wrong with also getting a great quality piece you know youll wear first hand.
