I’ve always wanted to pair bat themed items with Dark Night Guardian even though it has crows and lions on it. I think it’s a combination of the color palette (black + gray + yellow) and the print name (Dark Night Guardian) subconsciously reminding me of Batman. So here’s a Batman inspired coordinate with it! If I had a bat wing cape like the ones Angelic Pretty or Antique Beast made I would have included it. I want to make one, but I want to make lots of things so not sure when I’ll get to it.

I tried to figure out how to make a bat headdress for myself but eventually broke down and bought one because I didn’t think I’d figured it out correctly. Turns out I got really close. I might still make one out of materials/colors Antique Beast doesn’t use…velvet would be cute since bats are fuzzy. :) But maybe they don’t make velvet ones for a reason. The velveteen I bought is shedding crumbs everywhere.

These shoes were an impulse buy that turned out really well. I got them because they were inexpensive (~$10) but they are surprisingly comfortable and good to help push an outfit toward goth/punk.
