excuse the botched blur job (I used GIMP, I'm pretty terrible at using the foreground select tool, tips would be appreciated)

I wore this outfit for a day of ice skating it was super fun - wdyt tho?

EDIT: I meant to capture that the skirt has texture and is pretty cute:

Asked the daughter and missus. Its a good basic outfit, a solid 6/10.

Gonna quote the daughter here : "if you are a babybat (= somebody starting goth outfits ) you have a good start and youll get there".
Maybe add a bit that jumps out if you want to ( add a bit of silver or gold )

I tend to wear big silver hoops with it.

I'm not technically goth or anything, but I definitely wear a lot of black - so maybe I should consider that, lol

Daughter said alternative fashion might be a good thing then. Its not goth, or whatever, but its a recommendation apparently since it has a lot of black in it.
I have no sense of fashion, but the daughter does haha

Nice! I really like the monochrome look these days. Bonus points for the outfit looking comfy.

yesss, I love the top because it's so soft and comfy. Cute + comfy is a good combo 😁

I also went dancing in a similar outfit (different shoes tho).

i think a nice under bust corset or wide belt with silver worn on the first seam of the skirt would add a nice visual. it might elongate the lower portion of the outfit giving you a longer look. also, silver bangles or chains on the wrist (outside of sleeve). black beaded necklace with silver or even a rosary. also boot chains are always fun.

love the idea of a corset; I think a wide belt would look nice but may have been a liability while ice skating (I ended up crashing 4 times and really badly bruising my legs, lol).

Great idea on bangles - I'm so insecure about my wrists and hands I tend to avoid anything that draws attention to them.

Love the black bead necklace / rosary idea - thank you!

I hope you had fun skating! I really like the fabric. There might be other names for it, but I recently learned the name “swiss dot” can refer to a texture like that.

I'm basically wearing the same outfit, but with a longer skirt. So yeah, pretty good!

Nice! Monochrome with a texture contrast is cool. A belt or waistband might work well with it too.
