for scene/emos;

thrift stores are always a good place to look for cheaper stuff. you can find older band shitrs, more colorful fun printed stuff and sometimes even accesories! you kinda need some luck to find stuff that you like or that fits you well, but (if you can) you can alway modify stuff you find to your liking! for things like studded belts or chokers or just stuff thats generally more expencive you can look for that on for exaple facebook marketplace, depop or ebay!
you can also look for accessories in kids sections they are usually bright and colorful
for the strict parents (if no too much skin is a rule) you can layer longer shirts under funky tanktops or wear like flanels over them. or wear patterned tights under your ripped jeans!
you can also go out in parents aproved clothes and then just change when you are out and change back on your way home
hope that helped a bit and good luck!
have fun on your style journey!

idk how to reply so I’ll just hope the ‘cringe_ass’ (username) sees this!

thank you for your reply! 

it’s been 3 years! what a journey! I have indeed embraced my scene style and certainly wore it! I began buying band T’s online & skinny jeans and styled them. as time went on, I ventured from scene to more emo, and from there I’ve dipped my toes into more trad/mall goth styles. I can proudly say now I’ve tried everything and have established my own, unique style, to say the least. I am comfortable and content where I am, and I can’t wait to go batshit crazy with my style when I get into college next year.

life is crazy
