What's the most have you ever spent for lolita? Be it on a single item, or within a day, a week or a month. Or when you take a look at your wardrobe and realized you could have bought a car with the total amount spent on it.

Not lolita, but alternative fashion is expensive stuff. My leather trenchcoat ran me about £250 after haggling it down from £300. Pricetag was twice that, but it was on sale.
It was fucking worth a week's wages, though. It's awesome. Snow and rain just bounce off, it flaps and flutters in the wind, it's warm, and it fits.

Boots are pricy. My current ones are £80 workboots, but I'm hoping to get a pair of New Rocks sometime next year, if I can budget the huge amount for a pair.

Trousers with the chains and D-rings and straps and things cost £50-60 a pair, plus having to ride into london to get hold of them.

Accessories are cheap, though; most of them I just bodge together out of cheap materials, and modify until they look right.

Best value of all is my belt, though. Thick leather, brushed aluminium buckle, and it cost me £15 or so, something like 15 years ago now. Literally no wear on it yet, despite being worn daily since then. Primary function is holding my trousers up, and it succeeds in that well.

Guys, let's say it in a percentage of our monthly salary so we all can get a better idea.

Within a month alone I spent almost 30% of my monthly salary for lolita (item price + SS fees + shipping + alteration).
And I still need to pay my rent, bills, and mainstream fashion shopping. I am still reasonable enough not to spend all of my monthly wages, but still.... sometimes I can't help buying things I don't need. Ugh :(

Most at one time... I dropped about 850 USD (not including SS fee and shipping) on a dream dress to win an auction. My most recent taobao order was about 1700 USD, not sure if that counts, but it was all lolita. Over the course of 2 years? Probably not much over 7 grand though, since I didn't start really looking at dream items until this year. This year probably at least 4 grand total. And I'm waiting for someone to put up a JetJ dress that I'm willing to drop 500-600 USD on, if they will take the offer, hasn't come up on auction/second hand/sales comm for sale though, only trades.

Jesus, seriously? I mean, I've been a seller and had buyers disappear due to various emergencies (some of which I'm pretty sure were made up), but you don't just don't keep that much money. A 20% deposit might be fair to keep, but only if it was stated firmly in the post that the deposit was non-refundable. And even then, it wasn't like you didn't let her know what was going on. Maybe she needed that payment urgently or something and opted to sell it to someone else, but even then, you think she'd be more polite and understanding.

As long as she acted in accordance with the rules that she set up in her sales post then the money is hers because YOU were too much of an idiot to fulfill your end of the contract.

Yeah, it sucks, but that is how real life works. No one cares about your excuses in the real world- only whether or not you kept up your end of the bargain.

If you aren't responsible to fulfill your contract then don't buy things.

It's not my style but I thought it was cute and doll-like. Dunno.

Although, I have to disagree about brown and navy. Generally since they're considered neutral colours (along with black) they can match with just about anything. I haven't seen many brown/navy dresses I like in lolita though, except IW's Original Chocolate which I would probably drop too much money on.

Oohh yes, a doll like style... I do see that. The girl wearing is was very petite and pretty. I do like that dress. The color scheme is probably thrown off in my head by the polka dots/tiered ruffles/stripes motif probably, heh. Why is it worth so much?

Probably my black Vampire Requiem skirt + headdress. Total came to £322, including SS fees from Paris.

I knew it was too much and I'll never get all that back but I don't mind as it's the only print I felt like I needed. The second most expensive dress was a Jetj dress, which was £170. Everything else I've bought has been more reasonable.

I'd have loved to drop $1,000 on the Shooting Star a la Mode OP but even I couldn't convince myself to spend so much on a dress.

But, funnily enough, the most I've ever spent on lolita was $450 for the black Twinkle Carnival switching JSK and headbow set NWT from Mbok after it sold out in the US and Japanese stores.

Secondarily to that, I spent about $430 shipped for my Sugary Carnival OP and about the same shipped for the Shooting Star a la Mode JSK which I could afford unlike the (admittedly fantastic) OP.
