It’s really hard to tell you where to go next, since you’re the only person who knows what you want out of lolita and what you want in it. For eg, I’m looking at your list, and one long-sleeved blouse in three colours, doesn’t seem enough. Still, it seems to have worked well enough for you for three years so maybe you don’t need that many.

For other girls, most of them usually continue collecting pieces to make different coords. Usually the impetus comes from seeing a new design, or getting a new idea to try out, or even just dressing to a different theme. The constant churning of new ideas and different coords is what makes up most of the hobby. Even girls who brandwhore are really just looking to their brands for new ideas to dress up in. The aim of your wardrobe is simply to enable you to dress up as much as you like, while being small enough to fit into your closet. If you’re bored with your current looks, buy a new look to experiment with. If you’re running out of space, downsize.

For your wardrobe, I’d like to suggest the 3-coords exercise — make 3 distinctly different coords with each dress. Doing so might help you realise there’s some items you can add that will make more different coords. For eg, you might want to add a short-sleeved blouse or a lace blouse for summer, or a turtleneck or a cardigan for winter.

For bags and shoes, what matters is that they suit your aesthetic, and you aren’t using this as an excuse to wear the cheapest junk. I’m somewhat surprised you don’t have a brown set bag and shoes, since half the dresses would go well with brown.

If you’re well beyond the point where you’re simply looking for things to complete your coords, think about adding meaningful things, for eg a Milk heart-shaped bag because it’s iconic, or VW rhs because she was influential in early days of lolita. Just make sure you can still make good-looking coords when you add these things.

Why do you think the Vivienne Westwood brand appealed to so many early lolitas?
