You just couldn't wait till january for the annual show off?

>>8642192
We had wardrobe threads like one a months or every two months now.

>>8642192
I figure since it's not actually wardrobe posts (just stock pictures) it'd be fun.

>>8642185
Going by the Boz long nun OP I think I know who you are and I think you look great (and so does the OP).

Why not. Can't be bothered naming everything so just ask if you want to know

>>8642222
Cont

I feel as though one of the special things about my wardrobe is my extensive collection of headwear and bags and jewellery, especially the Moitie stuff. Could still do with more bags though.

I'd love to see non lolita wardrobes.

Post pics of bags and accessories? I think I'm happy with my main pieces but need more basics and accessories!

>>8642213
There's a chance you're right as i only know one other person who owns it, if i am who you're thinking of, thank you!

>can tell who you just from your wardrobe.

>>8643845
Same

My wardrobe is all over the place in terms of colors and themes. Just posting JSKs/OPs and a few skirts (a few things I bought when I was a teenager and more interested in punk fashion are not entirely my style anymore, such as candy bustier). I started actively buying lolita and lurking here since last December.

>>8643845
>>8643851

i think most people can tell other people by their wardrobes if they have albums online and stuff, it's not abnormal.

>>8643872
>dat purple meta jsk

>>8643879
I can tell from seeing the pictures here or on tumblr usually unless it's only super common things I don't care about.

Did not include the blouses and other items. Have been keeping my wardrobe red-black-navy/blue.

>>8644043
I like your taste.

Main style: Gothic / Nautical.
Mostly Red - Navy - Black, with some impulse buys.
Just main pieces.
Time in lolita 2 years.

>>8644087

>>8644087
>>8644088
A+ for Acanthus and Classical Angel

main style: dark classic (just purged my closet, these main pieces survived the cull)
time in lolita: coming up on 2 years

i hope to have a more cohesive wardrobe, stained glass and chocolate are too incompatible, and aatp is slowly sucking the soul out of my wallet

>>8644112
All that stained glass, horoscope themes, and This is my blood JSK, top tier taste anon.

Been into lolita a little over a year. Gothic and halloween prints are my favorite, but I have a soft spot for purple and blues. Aatp is best brand.

I'm in the process of selling milky planet to buy more classic shit

been in lolita for a little a year. in the process of adding more classic and jewel toned elements.

>>8644436
it's the end of an era

>>8644164
>Lady lilith
>That gathered chiffon

Beautiful

>>8644560
But will this one be any less annoying?

I've been in lolita for maybe a year? I don't remember, my wardrobe isn't that exciting.

>>8642185
Some real nice gems in there anon.

>>8642222
I love this one, it all looks to coordinated and nice.

>>8642299
Love a lot of the accessories here, Im jealous of a few of those.

>>8643840
Really pretty and well colour coordinated, done a good job resisting the impulse buys.

>>8643872
Some interesting variety there. I actually quite like the F+F dress.

>>8644043
Damn that Grimoire dress is beautiful.

>>8644087
I wish I had prints in multiple colourways.

>>8644112
Ive forgotten its name but second row down second dress in, I missed out on that and regret it.

>>8644164
Lilith, merry making and reqiuem. Nice. Also grimoire dress.

>>8644436
What sort of things are you looking at buying once youve sold Milky? Im curious.

>>8644552
Im not into beige, but the detail on all of these look beautiful.

>>8644609

I like your wardrobe anon, they all look like pretty quality dresses to me.

>>8644436
Hey Voldie! How long have you been into lolita btw?

My wardrobe is a fucking trainwreck. I started in december and was convinced I should buy a lot of cheap shit (wasted my money on Kokokim tho).
I want to get rid of the bodyline (except Forest Fairy, was a gift and I like it) and the F+F (first dress).

I also have a pink Cornet sailor OP (couldn't find any pics on Lolibrary) I got in tokyo, I want to sell it.

>>8644983
Its not that bad anon, there are much worse dresses on bodyline you could have stumbled into.

Its a good building point.

>>8644986
Thanks anon. I was convinced sweet was my jam when I started out, but very few months in I realised It wasn't my thing at all. Really want to sell all my pink stuff (I look hyper silly in pink, and corsets make me look bulky, I'm tiny).

Do you think they would sell in LM?

>>8644560
Thank fuck

>>8644572
Probably the same level

>>8644943
I really want to get more navy pieces and add more dream dresses to my collection (ere's looking at you Bless from Michael)

>>8644953
Hey anon, and oops I forgot to mention I've been in lolita for a year and a half now

>>8644993
If not lacemarket the sales groups on FB might be worthwhile, depends on how much your selling them for. Cheap stuff seems to go pretty quick.

finally into a semi cohesive wardrobe-
prefer classic.
lolita: on and off for a few years

>>8645150
also i keep it pretty small because i dont wear lolita too often.

Not everything, just things of interest. I've been in lolita for about a year and three months.

>>8644087
I'm so jealous of your treasure hunt in the mystic island jsks and the pirate alice jsk!

Most of them were dream dresses and so far i've managed to get lucky! Still putting together my wardrobe though.

Main style: Sweet, occasional classic and some old school.
time in lolita: 3.5 years

About this time last year I had 31 main pieces, but I sold my wardrobe down to 14 because we bought a house and new furniture > dresses. I've built it up to 21. But I invested more in blouses, legwear, shoes and accessories this year rather than just main pieces.

>excuse my lazy facebook album screencap.

Been in the fashion 1 1/2 years...What even is cohesion? My wardrobe certainly doesn't know yet.
Been using BL as a source for a lot of simple inexpensive filler items recently, since half the time when i was first starting out i'd buy one pricier brand item at a time and then only get one or two relatively boring coords out of it before giving up and selling it. Trying to focus on building up a variety of nice quality tops, shoes, bags, etc now and working towards a more versatile wardrobe suitable for casual/daily wear, rather than exclusively bigger events.

(also good lord I want to get rid of my babby's first purchase Infanta vest jsk, but I keep somehow talking myself into keeping it for normalfag wear)

I'm completely all over the place, but right now I think I'd like to concentrate on gothic and classic for my looks. Sweet just doesn't suit me.

Also, if anyone recognizes the VM JSK on the right (the pink floral one) can you let me know what it is?

>>8644088

Hey anon, great taste! What's the name of the top row, second from the left?

I've been into lolita for about 4 years now and I really don't know what my style is anymore.

>>8644943
Thank you! The F+F piece is actually a skirt and vest, and its not as shiny in person as it is in the stock photo. Only downside is the skirt is a bit short and the vest's ruffle trim is cheap, but it's F+F after all.

>>8645185
so jealous of that black gauze witch sleeve aatp blouse, it's one of my dream items.

>>8645384
What is the name of the Baby jsk on the left, second from the bottom? I can't remember it. Your collection is really nice, anon. I think it's fun to have different styles so you can wear what you feel like and coordinate things in more interesting ways.

>>8645432
not that anon, but it's this
>http://lolibrary.org/apparel/love-air-mail-applique-jsk
super gorgeous, but quite expensive i think?

>>8645384
lovely taste, i could see myself owning 90% of these

>>8644143
thanks anon, stained glass makes me so happy

>>8643872
Your taste is super tacky but I love it.

Main style: Classic I guess?
Time in lolita: Bought first piece in 2009, actually started buying regularly 2012. Sooo 6 years technically?

There is zero theme.. I impulse buy half the stuff I own. I rarely buy stuff to complete coords, so half of my wardrobe is unwearable and still has tags.

I finally have a job with a decent pay so maybe now I will finally buy things to make stuff wearable!

>>8645600
>>8644112

I really like the stained glass prints.

>>8645185
That treasure chest bag. Jealous.

>>8645203
Small but quality.

>>8645205
Nice collection, lots of solid pieces.

>>8645238
Is a bit all over, but least they are nice, I actually like your infanta jsk.

>>8645339
Sorry dont recognise the vm jsk, but I really like that chess story jsk, looks nice n detailed.

>>8645384
Nice taste, so many items from my wish list, lucky!

>>8645600
Oh man, that velvet and stained glass, gorgous.

>>8645365
Thats Surface spells "A dream eat book of shadow and void." Saying the name is part of the draw to buying it.

>>8645384
Mind if I ask what that lovely winexblack jsk towards the bottom right is? I think that needs to go on my wishlist now

>>8645623
>I really like that chess story jsk, looks nice n detailed
It is! I've worn it out once, to a con, and tons of other lolitas complimented it and asked what brand it was, haha. It's pretty eye-catching. It's the Le Ballet JSK, the navy and black versions are also stunning.

So many gulls with amazing taste itt.

>Main style
Sweet-Classic for lolita, but I buy a lot of otome pieces for everyday wear

>Time in lolita
I started mid 2012

>>8645625

That's fantastic. Thanks!

>>8645658
i know who you are, love your coords on tumblr though you haven't posted much lately?

>>8645600
great pieces, i think i mentioned in a previous thread that i'm super jealous of your knight night jsk ugh

>>8644983
Can you post black BTSBB dress worn photo, dear anon?

>>8645664
Cheers, man. Are you >>8644112 by any chance?
Tbh I haven't had the energy or the time for posting. Hopefully I can get my shit together and change that.

>>8645664
Sorry Anon! I will keep an eye out for it for you!

>>8645655
Thanks anon, I might have to check it out in black, it is really nice!

>>8645658
this is a really impressive collection for being into the fashion for only 3 years

>also all dat jm

>>8645631
I'm not >>8645384 but it's putumayo http://lolibrary.org/apparel/arabesque-velveteen-jsk

there's another anon who keeps posting it in the dream dress thread, so I'm always looking out for it anyway

>>8646091
>>8645834 here. I am that anon from the dream dress thread. I just found it last month. Thanks so much for keeping an eye out for me, though.

>>8646112
Shit. Meant to link to >>8645384
My brain is just not functioning today.

>>8645689
i am!

>>8645693
thanks, i'm just hoping they rerelease since their pieces seem to be popular and they only had small runs

>>8646112
>>8645384

Congratulations! I love seeing gull dreams come true. Sage for chatter.

>bagels are not donuts captcha
>melty cream bagel? i don't think so

>>8644983
Kokokim is low quality, anon?I was tempted to get a blouse a year ago but it was sold out.

>>8644983
lol that f+f dress was my first one too. if only i knew how weird the collar was when i ordered it. noob mistakes...

>>8644552
you have good taste

>>8646459
Different anon, but it's hit and miss. I'd stay away from anything shiny looking, but I have a blazer from them that's really nice, and a couple tshirts that were worth the money.

>>8645668
Sure. Will do tomorrow though, I never take pics of my coords so no stock. It's really beautiful though, one of my faves.

is this thread only for lolita?
I'm planning a himekaji capsule wardrobe for daily wear in winter! I'm not sure I got himekaji right on the nose... I'm still learning and refining.

Still super small, but I'm happy with it. I'm still trying to decide on a style currently, so my wardrobe is a bit of a mash up

lol what is cohesion
I just buy what I like and roll with it.

I bought my first main piece in late 2012 and my wardrobe is currently in this state. I'm fond of darker colors across substyles. I mostly buy casually what I like when a nice deal comes across, I don't really hunt for things.

>>8645150
Delightful.

>>8647039
Hows the moth dress? Worth the money? Good materials, craftsmanship and fit? Also red looked kind of pale pinkish on pictures?

I admit that I got too lazy to look up blouses and other accessories; What's here was already in the album before I just added everything else in.

I really like stripes.

I admit I got too lazy to look up blouses and various accessories, so whatever is here was already here before I just updated it. I've been buying since 2011 and sold off a lot of things I didn't like. Thinking about trying to cull this down further still but it's hard.

I really like stripes.

>>8646917
I like your biscuits, tartan, and nameless poem. At least you seem to like navy.

>>8646517
Ahhh thank you, Im such a noob sometimes I worry ):

>>8645384
God tier taste anon

>>8645384
What's the biggest one over to the right, the red with gold accents

>>8646917
Hi pink strawberry tea

>>8647209
Worth every cent, I've nothing but good to say about it. Fabric is a good quality cotton sateen, soft with a subtle sheen. For the wine red that I have, I find the stock photo pretty true to color. Good lace, excellent craftsmanship, pains taken to ensure it's machine washable.

>>8647443
hi anon

>>8647500
Where is the moth dress from? It's really pretty.

>>8647603
Cloudberry Lady.

I wear mostly classic or sweet/classic, a tad of gothic. I'm trying to collect more toned down dresses to wear everyday casual. But always get distracted by pretty prints, I'm also looking to buy more gothic pieces.
I bought my first dress in October 2013, this isn't my complete wardrobe, but it is most of my mains.

>>8647784
Congratulations on your fine taste, anon!

Thank you! JM has really captured my heart and bank account.

>>8646185
I thought so aha
And I think the stained glass plus chocolate combo is really awesome.

>>8647784
Another wardrobe that I recognize! I didn't get to meet you on your last WA visit, but hopefully you swing by again soon.

>>8648193
Cheers, man. The chocolate stuff is great for casual wear.

>>8647500
Thanks! Now I'm really upset I didn't get it.

>>8648570
Ahhh, I'm sorry, anon. You could always try and contact CL and see if for example a sample dress is still out there. They hold their product to a high standard, so if in the future they release something that you love at first sight, it's safe to expect getting your money's worth.

>>8645205
Do you have any coord pictures with Triple Tart anon? I never see it around much.

Main style: Classic-Sweet
Time in lolita: 1.5 years

I love deer prints, muted pastels and pale blues. Innocent World is my One True Love

>>8644087
>>8644088

I recognise that wardrobe! It amuses me that we started off with almost matching wardrobes to begin with but then diverged.

Main style: Aristocrat (guy style and femme), Gothic, Dark Classic
Main colour: black
Time in Lolita/Aristocrat: 4 years
Notes: Mainly wear offbrand blouses and tights. Also use a fair amount of older AllSaints pieces in my Aristocrat coords.

Main style: sweet
Time in lolita: two-ish years

>>8647815
love it!

>>8649043
Forgot this as well. I also have the moon and star charm IW bow clip given at Regalia.

Here's my current wardrobe! I've been buying lolita for 2 1/2 years or so? I also have an old school btssb jsk and an etc skirt that I couldn't find pictures of.

Currently debating on whether to sell Cat's Door or not...

>>8647167
>>8648867
thank you both!

>>8649064
Mnf, you have great taste. I'm not much into sweet but it's like you picked all the best sweet. BTW, I'd love to see a pic of that Katrina JSK worn. You never really see that cut/color out there.

>>8649043
>all that black
so delicious

>>8648189
that means so much to hear. I get caught up in needing more, so its nice to know that someone else would be content.

>>8649946
Thank you!

I'm curious, how much do you gulls spend on lolita each month? Seeing all those amazing wardrobe makes be curious about how much money people have spent on them

>>8648851

I was thinking the same thing. I'd sell my left tit for just one, let alone four.

>>8649612
if you sell it i would buy it anon

>>8648643
I do, I just don't post my pictures publicly much at all. I usually keep them in a personal tag on my tumblr, but I don't think I even got around to posting my pictures in that yet.

I put on weight so I'm really shy about photos atm and I just recently got this a few months ago. Maybe when I drop the weight and feel more comfortable I'll post them a bit more publicly.

>>8650826
I honestly don't spend a lot on lolita unless I am buying a dress (which is like one every few months, but I'm slowing down because I've pretty much gotten all of the dresses I wanted). Though I probably spend about ~$30 every one or two months on accessories or socks.

>>8650826
I'd rather not think about it, I have a lot of money so it's easy to overspend each month and not really get punished for it, but I usually sell off a lot of stuff too so it all kind of balances out.

Left out some other BL JSKs and skirts, and a Meta JSK I don't know the name of.
There's not really any set theme in my wardrobe. I get what I like if I think it's cute and I like the price.

>>8650826

No set amount. It depends completely on what's been released, or an item I've been hunting for comes up, and if I have the spare pennies.

I had about 16 main pieces back in April. Now this is all I have left for the moment, not counting my otome stuff.

>>8648867
Thank you! I'm fairly set in my taste now, so I'll be sure to keep it up.

>>8650826
I don't have a set amount so I go by feeling and stick to buying just wishlist pieces or items I need for coords. Bargain hunting is also my forte so it often looks like I've bought way more than I really have. For instance the last dress I bought was on my wishlist and only cost me 3,000yen.

>>8652412
That Bertille Rose! It's a lovely floral print and really under appreciated.

I started at the beginning of 2015 and am still having a loli identity crisis.

I started out buying up a lot of indie brands because I was intimidated by all the secondhand markets, but recently sucked it up and started bidding on brand on Yahoo Auctions and LM. I kind of hate the look of JSKs, so I exclusively look into OPs--even if there's a print or style that I love, I won't even consider it unless it comes as an OP. I haven't even gone to a meetup yet because I just haven't found the time, so most of these are just unworn and sitting on my closet and collecting dust... it's really inspiring to see everyone else's collections, I hope I can get to that point someday.

Anons, what do you use to make your collage? I always use paint, but with different sizes it looks shitty.

>>8649064
>Dat Holy Lanter zipper jsk hnng
Love most of your pieces even if I don't like sweet myself, really nice wardrobe you have there!

>>8652763
PicMonkey!

>>8652763
A number just look like screen grabs from facebook.

My wardrobe has seen a few changes and isnt very cohesive but its finally getting to the point where I love everything in it.

Not pictured is soft cream jsk in mint and pie tarts jsk in brown because phone is limited.

Why does literally every seagull have Nameless Poem....

>>8654854
because it's quite popular and good quality, plus not print vomit like every other taobao dress these days

all current mainpieces and some interesting pieces

>>8644436
Your taste and style has gotten way better since you started. Also 5ever jealous of your Lotta, but it would never fit my tits anyway so whatever. here's to ya Voldie

>>8654874
that holy lantern replica though

>>8652763
i just use the collage feature of aillis usually, and then combine them in paint if i need to

>>8654854
They've done a bunch of re-releases and it's a simple gothic dress with a good fit for different body sizes.

>>8645203
What is the name of the red and black skirt on the bottom row, far right? I've never seen it before but it's super adorable.

>>8654181
Love that Marshmallow Bunny skirt, anon.

>>8654874
Really loving your solid black pieces in particular, so good.

>>8655025
Not OP
But replica or not, that JSK is cute as fuck. I've been strongly considering getting it myself and I'm usually strong anti-replica.
If the print was actually flocky, in all honesty I would probably take the dive.

>>8654874
I'm so jealous of the Moitie Check JSK, ugh

main style: sweet
time in lolita: about a year and a half

i had lofty dreams of a ""cohesive"" wardrobe ... once upon a time ...

>>8655513
the replica print is flocky

>>8644043
What dress is that with the white collar?

>>8655620
Shit. I heard it wasn't. Welp, sold.

>>8655570
What's that black and white OP without the stock picture? It looks gorgeous.

>>8647216
So jealous of your letter regimental jsk.

Main Style: Gothic
Time in lolita: Came back around a year and a half a go. Still have several old pieces from when I did sweet lolita.
Lately I've been having a hard time finding pieces I love.

Love the colours of this- do you mind saying how tall you are anon (assuming it fits pretty well)

>>8656315
Oh hello! This T?

>>8656317
I'm 5'3-5'4 and it fits me like this. This pic is very true to color too

>>8655513
Yeah I agree. I really love that color and I was hoping that AP would put out something similar during the rerelease but the closest we got is navy, and that just isn't the same.

>>8656126
It makes me so happy seeing gothic wardrobes. Yours is beautiful, anon, great work.

>>8656224
How did you go about acquiring it, did you just use a taobao SS? I've been wanting that since it was announced but I usually just go through resellers.

>>8645203
God, top left is my ultimate dream dress. I have the red colorway but black was the one I originally fell in love with.

>>8656126
Hi raptors, really digging your wardrobe.

>>8656445
I used my usual taobao SS & got it with a larger order, yeah. I'm unsure as to why no resellers seem to carry it, it's been apart of HMHM's MTO stock for quite a while.

I share my wardrobe with my sister. It's pretty easy to guess what our favorite brand is. I couldn't find a correct stock picture for all our items so a few things a different length or colorway. Though we have a lot prints double we don't care much for twinning.

I'm at 14 pieces right now, wondering what my max total should be, do you gulls ever set yourself a limit or do you not care?

i ahve been into lolita since 2003 but only started bying dresses 3 years ago. appearantly i like sweet.

>>8656610
Your wardrobe and how much you can comfortably fit in it or fit in your home is the limit.

>>8656629
Agreed.

Sometimes I downsize a little when I realize I have more than I'm able to wear. I've unfortunately become a con lolita due to my work schedule and rarely make it to meets. My days off are usually mid-week and nobody has days off. ho hum.

Right now I think 20-25 is a good number for me, and it allows some rotation throughout the year for different cons and the occasional rare meet.

You guys make me wanna be such a brandwhore.

>>8656467
Hello and thank you! I haven't ordered any figures for a while because of lolita. Whoops.

>>8655570
cohesive or not, you have some impeccable taste anon

>>8656610
I limit my wardrobe by space and practicality to 30-40 main pieces and downsize when it gets too big. I can't wear it to work and I'm often too exhausted to get frilled up just to go to get groceries now

>>8656337
Thanks for the reference picture anon, I'm a few inches taller than you so I'm a bit worried it'll look odd on my chest. Colour really suits you!

>Main style
I prefer classic, but I dabble in all styles.

>Time in lolita
About 3 years.

>>8655513
A-anons, where did you get that replica. I'm asking for a friend... if it is flocked then I can get a placeholder until the price goes down.

main style: classic-sweet

theres a swap meet saturday that im looking forward to... not sure what to wear, though.

>>8646899
Beautiful. I'm not a lolita but I read these threads anyway, himekaji is my real dream. I loooove your taste!

>>8656550
>>8657745
>classical chair
My homies

>>8657799
You have almost all of my dream dresses in the preffered colorway. I'm so jealous, anon.

>>8657799
what's that dark VM JSK next to Victorian Tassel??

>>8657900
its called flocky rose by VM

I'm super new and just starting to build my wardrobe... no real style or cohesion yet. Starting to notice I'm drawn to lavender dresses.

>>8657859
Hell yeah. Classical chair was actually my dream dress, I fucking love furniture and room prints. I really want to get the black colorway too, but I was too broke the last time one showed up in the sales comm.

>>8657761
MLD, it's an oojia replica

>>8656550
A-anon please tell me what dress is 6 down, 3 across (the beautiful green dress.) Green is my weakness in lolita and that dress just got shot up into near dream dress tier. It's beautiful.

>>8658939
Different anon, but that's IW's Alencon JSK. The stock photo is fairly off since it's more mint than green.
http://lolibrary.org/apparel/alencon-jsk

>>8657745
What's the Elegy dress like? Prettier than the stock picture I hope?
Love that JetJ dress btw. And the black Meta OP.

>>8658969
Ah, I searched lolibrary but was looking for greens, not mint. That's a bit of a bummer since I really love that apple green color, but it's still a beautiful dress. Thanks anon!

I've been in this for 10 years but only just found out about online comms and meetups etc in the last year to two years. I didn mt een know about Bodyline and the fashion has changed A LOT so I feel like I'm frantically 'catching up' and starting out all over again

Main style: Classic sweet/otome
Time in lolita: 2 years

I've had a lot of difficulty picking a style and just being all over the place and constantly buying/selling pieces, but I've really fallen in love with otome and trying to stick lolita dresses that can work with it too.
I feel so much more happy with my wardrobe now.

>>8659018
I've never even done an actual wardrobe post before, I thought this was a wardrobe thread.

>>8659018
This isn't a wardrobe thread??

>>8659021
Just make ONE collage like everyone else.

>>8659021
>people with wardrobes as big or bigger than yours posting ITT
>posting one collage
>perhaps 2 max if their collection is massive
>entire thread full of this
>you presumably glance through the thread and see this
>you go ahead and post 6 images anyway

Girl, no. Wait until January for your big fat wardrobe post on LJ. Stop eating up the thread real estate.

>>8659024
Do you really want lots if tiny poor quality photos? Everyone bitches about large image sizes so I thought it would be better to have clear and organised pictures

>>8659026
>Crying about a thread full of wardrobe pictures on a wardrobe thread

>'Why does no one post content you guyz??!'

>>8659027
Clear and organised? Taking pictures of your dresses placed sloppily on that ratty looking rug? Please stop embarrassing yourself.

>>8659028
>>8659027
No one complained about lack of posting.
This isn't the place for your complete close up wardrobe, that's livejournal. And your presentation is actually uglier than store picture collages.

>>8659028
there's a difference between posting multiple times when the images could've been compressed into one (ie your wardrobe) and contributing multiple posts of content (ie different pages in a magazine)

>>8659036
Agree.

Also, vacuum your rug.

>>8659027
>>8659028
Wow, you can't even take being wrong with grace. In lolita for ten years and you've got the self-centered bitchiness down pat, at least.

>>8659021
Haha, wow. I'll look out for your post in January so I know who's stupid enough to screw up in a wardrobe thread.

>>8659039
They're also stupid enough to take 10 years to find out about egl and Bodyline. Seriously, 10 years?

>>8642185
Is it really this much fun to wear old victorian style clothing?

>>8659044
yeah, once you find the style/motif/aesthetic that you love and suits you, there will be no going back to normalcy

About 5 years.
Hm, it looks more cohesive than I thought now that I see all the pieces together...

Main style: Classic sweet/otome
Time in lolita: 2 years

I've had a lot of difficulty picking a style and just being all over the place and constantly buying/selling pieces, but I've really fallen in love with otome and trying to stick lolita dresses that can work with it too.
I feel like I've finally found my calling and feel so much more happy with my wardrobe now.

>>8656126
Thanks for listing me as a fave anon, funnily enough I got 3 things in your wardrobe in the mail, A+ (the antique beast headdress, the batwing shoes and one of the boguta shirts.)

>>8659011
Wait. How have you been in this fashion for 10 years yet didn't know about Bodyline and online comms like EGL on LJ until the last two years? How can you know enough about buying Taobao dresses, but hadn't heard of Bodyline.

Were you actually IN the fashion for 10 years? Or did you only just know about it, bought like 2 dresses long ago, and then it fell off the radar for you until two years ago?

>>8659059
I love all your red dresses!

>>8659028
Is this the same anon posting their wall of text opinions in the cof thread, Fail chan strikes again.

>>8659044
Omg yes. The dresses are for the most part unique in this very specific way, so it makes the whole thing extra special and extra exciting when it looks good on you and extra excruciating when you don't win your dream dress cause you know in your heart that there isn't anything like it. Please cremate me with my wardrobe.

>>8656254
Being able to share a wardrobe as a couple sounds really cute and romantic.

>>8658990
Yeah, the Elegy dress is actually pretty nice, it's really pretty and not lumpy and awkward like in the photo.

>>8657799
I love all of the pinks and lavenders in your wardrobe! There's so many different styles but I feel like your wardrobe as a whole is very cohesive.

Mine's a little all over the place at the moment, but I definitely want to incorporate more tartan for casual wear soon.

>>8656254
>mfw the dream of every lesbian lolita
It's the best feeling when you share the wardrobe with your loved one.

Not really the most interesting wardrobe, i'm going to buy simpler gothic/otome pieces from now, taking a break from sweet for a while because i want basic items to wear daily. The BL blouse need to go away one day, i want better blouses. I have also frilly winter cutsews from taobao, two black one pink and a lace offbrand blouse in offwhite.

I'm curious, what's everyone's ratio of shoes to main pieces? I feel like I have far too many shoes.
>8 pairs of "lolita" shoes, a few normalfag shoes that I make work sometimes
>9 current main pieces, 1 dress that doesn't fit
I have 3 pairs of offwhite shoes but I feel like I need all of them.

>>8660730
I've got around 28 main pieces (but wear less than half of them), and only 8 pairs of shoes. 6 that I bought just for lolita, and 2 that are regular dress shoes that I like to pair up with lolita sometimes.

>>8660730
i have about 30 main pieces and 10 pairs of shoes specifically for lolita. i only wear 5 pairs regularly though

I guess sweet? or I have no idea what I am doing.
I've only been collecting for under a year, still trying to find my groove.
Starting to lean more towards otome, think my future purchases will fall into that.

Just feeling overwhelmed when trying to add in the extras, like blouses, shoes and etc.
ha ha.
I would be up for advice if anyone has any to offer.

>>8660730
Well if you have more variety in shoes than clothes it is a sign you have too many. I would also wonder if you have issues with cohesion or knowing what you need. Like why do you have 8 lolita shoes for 9 dresses and why are 3 of them white?

>>8647815
Seeing Pastoral next to Classic Fairy Tales
makes me kinda of wish I jumped on it.

The biggest love/hate over Pastoral.
Love that it is basically my grandma on a dress,
but I hate grapes. The grapes of ruin!

>>8661938
Diff anon. Honestly it depends on color coordination. I have more shoes than main pieces right now, but I don't always match my dress to my shoes. Sometimes I'll wear shoes that match the top and the bag while the socks headbow and dress are the same color. Other times I'll use shoes to play up a third color. For example brown bonnet, red and gold accessories around bonnet, red blouse, green dress with gold accents, brown socks with gold accents, red shoes and red bag. I don't think you can ever have too many shoes, bags or headwear and accessories in lolita. But sometimes it is necessary to downsize, especially if you don't end up using them much.

>>8661938
I guess I do have cohesion issues.
I have 1 pair of offwhite rocking horse shoes, but those don't go with much. I use them a lot with other clothes. I have off white tea party shoes for daily wear, and offwhite really nice shoes for fancy meets. Then black, navy, pink, red (I don't need those but they were $5), gold.
My wardrobe is all sweet AP and BTSSB with some casual handmade stuff, but half of them are pink, the other half are all over. I guess its not so bad since I wear them with other jfashiony stuff; most shoes see the sun at least 3 times a month.
>>8661979
You're definitely right, thank you.

I've been slowly collecting main pieces for just over a year. Probably not very cohesive. Pieces listed in the order in which they were obtained.

1. Anna House: JSK, black
2. Krad Lanrete: Lost in Sea JSK, navy
3. The Snow Field: Water Lily of Monet JSK, navy
4. Angelic Pretty: Victorian Letter Tiered JSK, ivory
5. Innocent World: Square Shoulder Lace OP, brown
6. AATP: Last Note Faint Spring Song Skirt, pink
7. Angelic Pretty: Cream Cookie Collection Switching JSK, ivory
8. AATP: L'ecrin de Votre Gauche JSK II, green
9. Innocent World: Philharmonie Angel JSK, beige x blue

>>8660730
14 shoes to 24 main pieces is my ratio, excluding a few normal shoes I work in sometimes. I like having lots of shoes choice and it's not overkill if you have a varied colour palette to your wardrobe.

>>8643840
So cute anon :) great cute and colorful wardrobe

changed my style the last two years from sweet/gothic to casual/classic

>>8666197

Main Style: Classic but i have been wanting to try more sweet
Time in lolita: a little under a year. I started last February
I like to think I'm off to a good start!

>>8644436
You are pricing it way too high.

>>8657462
Do it, it feels amazing.

>>8668900
i know who you are lol

>>8670905
lol hi anon

What do you think is the secret to obtain a cohesive wardrobe?

>>8674567
Pick a colour palette/theme and stick with it.

>>8657943
Thanks anon,
beautiful beautiful taste

Absolute babby's wardrobe. I got Nameless Poem as a feeler back in November and started seriously collecting dresses this past summer.

Right now I'm trying to save the cash for some accessories, a decent bag and blouse to start, and school expenses of course.

>>8674644
You're off to a great start! The bottom two dresses are beautiful.

I started buying dresses over three years ago, but my current wardrobe is from the last two.

It's actually a little more cohesive than I thought it was. Maybe I just suck at accessorizing.

I tried to align them as nicely as I could but turned out kind of awkward lol.

>>8674688
What's the name of that pink organza op? Is lovely!

2.5 years in, I'm very happy with my current wardrobe and only seeking out a handful of pieces still. Feels good.

>>8674688
love your taste, anon

>>8674722
If you mean the one near the bottom, it's Glass Doll OP! :)

>>8674734
Thank you so much that makes me so happy! I'm always so shy about wearing lolita out of Japan for fear of being ridiculed.

I also love your taste!

I wear Gothic, Old School, Classic and occasionally aristo.

Whoops I forgot to add this IW jsk as well. There doesn't seem to be a lolibrary page for it yet.
So many anons in this thread have beautiful wardrobes and there are a few familiar ones,

I feel like altogether my wardrobe isn't cohesive but idk. I like wearing gothic and sweet, but I've been trying to get more gothic stuff in my wardrobe. There's been some cute stuff coming out on taobao lately so hopefully I can do that. I also want more stained glass pieces. I feel like, separately, the two different styles are cohesive but then with the sweet side of my wardrobe it's still a bit of a clusterfuck lol. I guess it'll work itself out eventually? I hope. Some of this stuff is also on reserve/I just ordered so I don't physically have it yet but I wanted to include anyway.

>>8668900
Interesting taste!

Main style: gothic and sweet
Time in lolita: less than a year

My small wardrobe! Pretty happy with it so far. Been wanting to start my wardrobe for quite some time and I'm glad I waited. Most of my accessories and outerwear come from antique beast. Blouses and shoes from btssb/aatp.

>>8676816
goddamn anon you should be more proud of your wardrobe

>>8676816
Are you the girl who ordered like 10 headdresses from Antique Beast when you only had that Katrina mainpiece?

Love those two btw. Nice taste.

>>8676816
money AND taste, nice wardrobe anon

>>8674930
I feel like we have very similar taste, anon! My wardrobe isn't cohesive, it's just a clusterfuck of "I like that!"

I have been into lolita about 3 years now but I haven't been able to work for that time so I'm pretty proud. I also sold almost everything at the beginning and started to buy more brand and I'm finally pretty happy with what I already have.

Meta Pintuck Tiered
AP Shirring Princess
AP Melty Berry Princess
AP Colorful Sherbet
Btssb Ribbon Heart
Btssb Blooming Snow White
Btssb Polka Dot Ribbon Frill skirt
Btssb Hem Scalloped
Meta Gingham Cherry
Btssb Heart Apron
Etc Lulu Room
Etc Poodle and Ribbon
+ few Taobao dresses and unidentified Moitie op and Etc Plush Toys op in black which I was unable to find stockpictures.

I like to play a game in which I go through and pick one item I would have for free from everyone's wardrobe. Sometimes it's hard because there's too many things I like/don't like. It's fun. I have being doing this forever, started with catalogues that were on the dining table when I ate breakfast as a kid. The dilemma is when you pick something and then it's in someone else's collage and you want to swap and pick it from that one, haha. I am lame.

>>8659136
I was just very isolated. I never went anywhere other than school/stables/church. My parents banned me from the internet until I was 17. It never even occured to me that there were lolita communities or that I would ever encounter one except maybe seeing a meido costume at a con. I had GLBs but not a clue how I would go aboit buyig from those brands so I wore a lot of GLP, victorigoth and offbrand stuff which is still the case. I was completely oblivious to the idea of meetups until I sneaked out of the house (I would never usually do this but things were really bad at home) in punk lolita to the V and A and *just happened* to turn up to like the biggest lolita meet up ever at the museum (200 girls I think?) This girl came up to me and asked if I was there for the lolita event and it took me a long time to process what she said, that there were others (and wtf is up with all these prints and wigs??) She has been my lolita senpai ever since. When I joined the Tea Party Club my mind was blown, I found out about bodyline and went crazy (have sold about half of it), found Milanoo (ordered once and everyone was too polite to tell me it's all a scam) found lacemarket and taobao resellers (still haven't) made a direct order yet and I only just bought from my first japanese auction two months ago. I feel a bit caught between styles and like I have a lot to catch up on.

TL:DR
I guess if I wasn't interacting with other lolitas I wasn't IN in the fashion because I wasn't IN the community? I still have magazine clippings from 2004 from Shojou Beat lolita articles and stuff. A bit sad really.

>>8677255
*shoujo

The taobao stuff is the most recent bought through resellers and the Honey Honey JSK on Lacemarket. I need to learn my shit because I still have yet to order directly from Taobao; the first/only time I used a shopping service, I fucked myself out of $260 in customs charges even after waiting a week, asking around about how to mark down the package before paying for shipping

>>8659034
>>8659039
I don't have a livejournal account

I really didn't think people would flip their shit over posting my wardrobe once in a fucking decade

And really, people are thinking I'm self centred over some stupid dress pictures when I've been taken advantage of my whole life. 99.9% of the time I get hurt and exploited or agonise over whether I've inadvertenty upset someone; I really thought I could post pictures of dresses on a thread for posting pictures of dresses without feeling like shit. Right now I'm raising someone else's kid and working for nothing so someone else keeps their paid job...

>>8677218
Anon that's really fascinating!
I'd love to see your collage of which single item you would pick from the previous collages.

>>8677263
4chan is not your personal blog, literally nobody cares.

>>8677255
this sounds like such bs, how did you not know about other lolitas if you had GLBs?
even if you were banned from the internet at home, you would've had access at school

99.9% sure this is bait

>>8677263
thanks for your life story...

>>8677263
Anon, I'm sorry you are in such a shitty predicament, but there is literally no reason for it to be mentioned? You are just making yourself look stupid and childish.

Sure, some gulls overreacted. However that wouldn't have happened if you had paid more attention to other gull's posts and followed the posting etiquette.

You posted your wardrobe almost 2 weeks ago, why come back now to defend yourself? You could have let it go and people would have forgotten.

>>8656550
The IW sisters! I remember your last wardrobe post, love it!

>>8676880
>>8677173
Thank you!!

>>8677162
Yep haha was it that obvious?

>>8677255
Lol girl plz
This is the biggest load of bs. There's so many plot holes, try again.

>>8677177
glad to see there's someone else like this haha. I think my other problem is I'm still relatively new to lolita, so I've been focussing on different areas of my wardrobe at different times. There's the gothic stuff I want to get together, and then I really want more mint sweet pieces, but then I want more sweet pieces with fruits, then I'm interested in AP's chocolate/desert stuff, but then I'm also trying to find some stuff that's a little more toned down that I could also incorporate into my daily/normal wear. Trying to just focus on a little bit for now; my main 2 goals at the moment are two cultivate more gothic pieces in my wardrobe and get more items that are otome-ish/more suitable for integration in my regular closet. I've mostly been trying to stick with things that are similar colors, some of the sweet items I think I want to trade to buy in a different colorway that will better match my wardrobe.

>>8677218
Seconding >>8677273. I'd really like to see what you'd puck from everyone's wardrobe.

>>8677273
>>8677481
This took ages because my internet kept dying (think I may have dropped some pictures because of it) and I had to look up some pictures of items I didn't know the name of, but voila. It's more cohesive than I thought it would be but I struggled with the wardrobes full of AP. I like sweet but I don't tend to wear it and I look horrid in pastels so I just picked the items I liked best in those cases. Sometimes I couldn't pick an item I really liked because I already had it or I wanted it in another colourway/cut. Feel free to share if anyone else wants to do it!

>>8677218
damn that sounds really fun actually, might give it a shot myself

>>8643872
>inb4 you're the one selling the cotton candy JSK on lm
I'm actually interested in that dress idfc if its mallgoth edgy plaid.

since we're mostly just arguing with/about butthurt-wardrobe-chan at this point and waiting for the thread to die, hope no one minds me posting my fave picks like >>8677660 did? Was a lot more difficult to pick than I thought in some cases...

>>8677263
Aren't you that black anon with the Ariel hair who's always posting pics of weed on her instagram? I recognize you from your wardrobe and background in one of the pics. Your story sounds like bs, your parents didn't let you use the internet until you where 17 but are OK with you smoking weed?

>>8677717
I'm not actually, but I've been debating on it since it takes up some space. I don't think I can do it because it was my first piece of brand (and I have hopes I can coord it so its not sceney weenie mallgoth)

A warning though if you do buy it- a small sharp edge of the plastic boning for the dress punctured through the casing and damaged the blouse I wore with it. You may want to inspect that edge before wearing it and make sure it is smooth and all.

Main style: classic
Time in lolita: 2008 till now but I got most of these pieces in the last 1-2 years. In fact the oldest piece in this photo is the SurfaceSpell Judgement Day OP in green, which I had bought around when it was first released in 2012
