Winter’s now in full swing, but don’t let your Goth melancholy get the best of you. Think of the inclement weather as a chance to wear adorable Gothic Lolita coats and accessories!

Here’s a quick and easy way to loli-fy your winter hat. I started with a black, fuzzy “bucket” hat from Danier. I found two strands of white lace at the fabric store, wrapped them around the circumference, and sewed them in place. (You can also use pins.) Voilà: a look that’s straight from the pages of the Gothic & Lolita Bible.
