I really LOVE how gothics dress. I mean it's just amazing! But... I'm not allowed to wear makeup and my mother thinks wearing all black represents satan.. Blah blah blah.. Ummm also.. I think my skin is WAY too dark to wear all black. Most black goths I know have a somewhat light skin tone. I understand that doesn't matter but I feel like I'll look foolish wearing all black with dark skin.. What should I do..?I really LOVE how gothics dress. I mean it's just amazing! But...

If you don't want to be mistaken for a Satanist I'd try wearing a cross, which is common in the goth subculture. You could wear black amongst other colours like Purple (:D), Neon Green, Camouflage, Turquoise, White, or even Pink. There are some Goths that wear black with rainbows to add a hippie vibe. :D Good luck!

you can wear things like dark purple or red.....for example a black skirt and a dark purple shirt...... also the clothing/ accessory can have a skull on it ....like a shirt with skulls on it or skull earrings or a necklace...... paint your nails in black red or purple.... hope this helps xx
