I love the black and white with the colored heels in this look. The top is very cool- I think it would look great with skinny jeans, for an interesting weekend look.

Thanks ! I could definitely wear this top with black skinny jeans, as my favorite thing in this gothic look is the reference to Hamlet’s skeleton (these gloves are to die for !). XXX
