I buy clothes from everywhere.. not just 'gothic' stores, as a matter of fact I buy from very few 'gothic' stores because I wear plus sizes. I have a collection of some beautiful pieces that I've had made for me over the years and others that I've found in stores.. but it has taken me years to compile my wardrobe and it is a work in progress. I think that even if you just 'Hot Topic' yourself a wardrobe you are going to just end up with clothes that you might like for a season, that don't really express who you are and that probably will fall apart fairly easily.
A wardrobe is something that you should have to work towards. Your pieces should have stories behind them. I have a top hat that was given to me by a French man's family who I nursed when he died. I have mourning gloves that my grandmother wore to my grandfather’s funeral. You clothes should carry a history, and finding them on sale in Hot Topic for $4.99 does not constitute a history.
