    Don't wear all black. If dark colors are your thing, you're in luck because there is a way to make it un-gothic. Just stick to darker colors. For example, if you wear grey jeans with a black tank top and some kind of dark red over shirt, that's in all dark colors but still doesn't cross the Gothic line.

    Know how to wear your makeup. No matter how light your makeup, getting a darker edge is all in the eyebrows. Make sure you define them well and that they have a good arch to then. After that, you can just brush on some mascara, and it's a light but darker look. Avoid black eyeshadow, that will just make you look like a emo/goth chick. You want your makeup to go with the whole Lotta-Dark-colors shtick, so to avoid too much black, just, like I said, define your eyebrows and just use just mascara or mascara and a little eyeliner. No wings or drop eye looks or anything just a simple look.
