I just bought a cute BTSSB cardigan, and it came today. It looked pink in the seller photo, but it's a really weird peach colour that matches nothing in my closet. I'm super sad.

I also have to get off my ass and sell a ton of my stuff (Like the AP donut bag that has been lurking in a cupboard for like a year now.) but I'm too lazy to take proof photos.

? Organizing skirts last weekend
> realize the hem of one of my skirts is coming loose in places
> pull skirt out
>realize hem has been repaired before (with that iron-on hem tape, so you don't see it from the outside or anything)
> was sold to me "in escellent condifion"
> no mention ANYWHERE of repairs
I'm not sure whether to be more pissed at the seller from the comm sales for not stating this or at myself for not noticing for five months.
I like the skirt but am thinking about selling it, because I don't want to ruin a MMM skirt if something goes wrong.

Still, sellers who don't disclose the condition of a garment as honestly as possible really get to me.

I just mailed a package (late) to another country. The fucking shipping was ridiculously huge, and when I tried to talk to the post office worker about my other shipping options, he just kind of... ignored me? Basically kept saying there weren't any other options, even though I goddamn know they are.

But I had to ship the package TODAY, and there's a fucking snowstorm starting (again) so I paid enough shipping to send the fucking dress to the moon and back.

God. Damn.

You might want to give the seller bad feedback. I understand your reluctance to mess with it, but if there's a seamstress or repair store in your town, you can often get excellent work for decent prices.

The side zipper was ripping out of one of my skirts, and the area around it was so threadbare I couldn't fix it. The lady I took it to got it repaired in a week and I can't even tell what the fuck she did. It's like a magical gnome came in and fixed it, it looks so good.

I live in a small town and am worried out "good" might not be very good, if that makes sense. (I'm just super paranoid.)

This transaction was five months ago, which is one reason I'm so pissed at myself for not seeing it sooner, so I don't feel like saying something at this point would be right. I'd hate if someone did that to me. Then again, I'm really honest about condition.

It's been so cold and dark all month that I haven't been able to dress up at all. I can wear tights in 10 degree weather but I not -10. Not only that but the dark weather has put me in a weird shit mood and I spend all my time sleeping and I don't want to go out.

Yeah, mismatched pinks are so frustrating. I used to check eBay a lot hoping for loliable finds (cardigans, blouses, etc.). A beige blouse ended up being very peachy, and a bolero I bought ended up being neon pink. I was lucky recently with a chiffon blouse though - ended up a very pretty light pink!

I should get around to getting the donut bag too. price?

Bought an IW JSK second-hand and though the garment looks fine it smells really strongly of some sort of perfume or body spray, to the point where my hands smelt the same for a while after handling it. It had also been scrunched into a jiffy bag and is wrinkled as hell.

I know perfume is nowhere near as bad as B.O. but I'm new to buying from a sales comm and was just thought it was a given to wash the garment and package it carefully.

I know it's a simple matter of washing and ironing it, but I'm apprehensive because the print is in a light colourway but also has red in it so there could be a risk of it bleeding.

Thank you, I'll try that. :) I was thinking about hand-washing and just treading lightly, but it may not be worth the risk. The seller did give me a very good price for it so in retrospect, I don't mind paying a little more for dry-cleaning. Thanks for the advice!

What rubs me the wrong way lately?
People who keep suggesting Vivienne Westwood 3 strap shoes with co-ords.
Yes, there're gorgeous.
Yes, you're right that they'd look good with this co-ord.
Yes, you can find them second hand.

But for some people, these shoes are:
- out of the price range
- need shoes within a month
- don't like the idea of buying second hand shoes
- have large feet or have feet that require inner shoe support
- don't want to wear heels for the event
- don't actually come in a color that would compliment the
co-ord

It's like this shoe is a quick answer for when you don't want to think harder.
I can't do anything with my hair- Just buy a wig
I can't match this dress well- Just buy all the matching accessories the brand put outs
I can't find shoes- Just wear VW 3 strap shoes

I'm so torn. I went to the doctor's today after putting it off for around two years for what I believed to be depression. I read up on it, researched the medications, and was going to try to talk to my doc about a specific kind that didn't have any debilitating side effects for me.

Then he totally blind sides me and diagnoses me with BPD instead. Needless to say I am shocked and completely neglect to talk about my thoughts on meds because I haven't done any research on BPD meds! He ends up giving me a prescription for pills with the same side effects I was trying to avoid (exhaustion and increased appetite). I'm already tired all the time, and I was so committed to eating healthier after putting on some holiday weight... I'm so scared of being unable to fit into my dresses in a month's time.

I'm seeing a psychiatrist in a few days though which I assume will start being a regular thing, so I guess if the pills end up not working for me as far as side effects go I can change my 'script easily...

Dont just start taking pills before seeing a psych first!!! I'm serious, I did it the wrong way, and I've had friends that have done it the right way and it's helped them so much. See the psych and don't take the pills if you have any doubts, because for me and my close family members, it DOES just make us more tired and unmotivated and gain weight. Like, can't fit into lolita properly level of weight gain.

Seconding the fleece-lined tights. I've been wearing them with thigh-high socks over top all winter (it's been around -35 on average this year) and it's been fine, honestly warmer than just jeans or something. Alternatively, I would recommend wearing some thermal leggings (if you can find some that aren't too baggy) and wearing socks or thicker tights over top.

supposedly, when she backpedaled that mess, a 'pettiskirt' to her is NOT a petticoat. I don't know. I think she meant something more fairy-kei that looks like a petti but you can wear it alone? but I cannot begin to delve into the workings of that mind.

Max measurements are just that: the max possible it can stretch. They aren't the max flattering fit. Generally sheering is in the back and the front doesn't stretch, so you're still gonna have as much room in the front of the dress as that Japanese model. I'm a 96cm bust, but due to my proportions (back v. bust size) I've yet to find a single brand item that is flattering on me. I stick to skirts.

She's actually not far off (for once). A Pettiskirt is something teeny girls wear that you wear alone. It's usually a fluffy chiffon or nylon instead of tulle or organza. Not as stiff. People DO wear them under skirts, but they're almost too full to put under anything.

Soo I drew something on cgl that was pretty popular and get notes on it all the time on tumblr. So many people message me "do you do commissions" and I say yeah sure, we can talk prices and stuff

and it never goes past that point. ever.

I'm happy to draw things if people want but it never even gets to the discussion of how much it would cost or whatever. I hate getting people asking for art or what-have-you and never actually follow up. I don't even think my prices are that outrageous.

I'm just really sick of being baited for jobs. I had some guy at Riot (league of legends) message me for a project and then he straight up just stopped contacting me after a few "I'll get back to you when we have more details!" emails.

That's not a big deal to me. I prefer if people say "Hey I thought I could afford it, but I can't now, sorry!" It's happened before, I'm okay with that.

It's when I get messages on DA or Tumblr or Twitter asking me if I do commissions and I say I can and then they NEVER CONTACT AGAIN. If you're not interested or unable to for whatever reason after we talk about prices I completely understand that.

If you are going to be on any kind of social networking and or internet site you expect to be spammed with shit eventually. I don't see how their advertising techniques are any different from others simply because their subject matter is predominantly lolita based.

Okay Master in psychology speaking here. First of all, don't self-diagnose, there's a reason people have to study 5 to 8 years. Second, diagnoses are more like categories, not well defined illnesses so don't put too much value in the diagnosis. Third, doctors are horrible at this stuff, go see a psychiatrist for EVERY psychofarmaca you take(even for dosis changes). Fourth, if you've been having this problem for a long time, it is best to combine medication with therapy. Medication is good for your symptoms but it won't make you better again, at least not in the long run. Combined therapy and medication have shown the best results.
Sorry for the long post, I just have to react to stuff like this.

I think they mean the ones that don't have the bows. I do see them suggested a lot. I'm working on an outfit right now with the shoes you've posted in pearl white, however, because the dress has a weird mix of ivory chiffon and pearly white organza ribbon.

Ah yeah, I didn't mean to make it sound like I self diagnosed? I've just been aware I wasn't mentally healthy for awhile, and had some of the signs of depression. I NEVER told anyone about my fears and I wouldn't tell anyone I had it without an actual diagnosis, if that makes any sense? I just researched that in particular because it seemed the most likely suspect. Thanks for the rest of your input though, I realize now that going to a regular doctor first was not my best decision, but at least its opened the door for me towards a legitimate psychiatrist so I can get official answers.

Meanwhile I tried the meds I was prescribed for a single day yesterday and it exhausted me to the point where I was awake for about 3 hours total yesterday...

I usually use a tampon, plus really thin pad/panty-liner and wear bike shorts to keep my underwear from shifting at all. Have yet to bleed on any of my brand.
When changing the tampon, it helps to get a small handful of toilet paper ready so you can immediately wrap up the used one after you take it out. If you can remove your petti beforehand that will make it easier to keep your skirt out of harm's way.

I'm the girl who took her mother's word in lending a dress to a girl (my mother backed her up, having taught her for years). You can check the old thread for the whole story as to why/for what/etc.

Well, update. Finally got my dress back, and I can tell why she didn't want to give it back. Stains everywhere. There were dirt stains on the INSIDE of the dress, and even on the skirt lining! The white collar had makeup and food stains on it, and it looked like a pig fucking rolled around in it!
None the less, I've been using various washing and stain removing techniques the past week, and it's finally starting to come along. The only stain that's left is a food stain on the collar.
Also where it laces up in the back, one of the loops was tearing off. I fixed it, but I still don't know how she managed that...? I had taken the ribbon out months before I lent it (It's hard as shit to tie it without help), so I'm imagining she must have pulled on it trying to get the dress off one day.

Moral of the story, I don't care how sweet/nice/trustworthy someone is. I'm not lending out any of my shit ever again.

Yes. She cried. According to my mother, she called her over after class, and told her that she had to bring the dress back or she would be calling her parents. (I thought she was one of my mother's older students, but apparently she's only 15?)
She started to tear up and cry, promising she'd bring it in the next day, just anything but calling her parents. Apparently the mother was fed a BS story by the daughter, and the mother ended up calling. Saying things like, "I don't see the problem. My daughter said she already returned the dress." Etc. etc.
Well. When the mother found out she didn't return the dress, she screamed for an hour at her daughter and apologized profusely to both my mother and I. The girl also started crying when she returned the dress and ran out of the room because she was so ashamed. It's damn good she's ashamed, hopefully it means she doesn't pull this shit again.

>>7345428
>>7345431
I decided not to because she is young, and if the screaming fest my mom heard over the phone is any indication on how she punished when her mom got off the phone, she's paid enough. If the stain doesn't come out of the collar in the next wash, though, I will be sending her a dry-cleaning bill.

I know for skirts I'll sometimes take the waist ties off because they look weird with the blouse or cardigan. But I have a designated box that I fold and place my waist-ties in when they're not on my dresses or skirts. So I'm guessing those people are unorganized and lose them.

i read your lend story however long ago and cringed so hard at your mom being so doe-eyed and trusting with that girl. protip for all: never lend anything to another person. no matter how close you are, no matter how much you love them, no matter how respectful they are to your face. as soon as you lend something, consider it now in destroyed condition, IF you ever manage to get it back.

life advice, not just lolita advice. i lent a lot of things to best friends over the years - it made them happy and me miserable every time. now i'm the scrooge bitch but with my books/disks/games/clothes all kept in great condition.

I hate how terrible the online lolita community is. We could have decent people, give actual concrit, and not flip out every time someone is a little experimental with the fashion. Instead we have people having a bitch fit if someone is too thin, too fat, not asian or european, not perfect at coordinating, is too newbie, too old, etc.

Most lolitas are to scared to even be part of the community. It's just sad.

Not that I don't like Cheetos. But, the clothes, yes, you need the clothes to do the thing. Oh, and wanting to come to a meet but have no clothes. No. Just no.

This. I was having recurring UTIs (as in, I had one probably 85% of the time, and they were so uncomfortable that I began missing school and meet-ups because of them) and couldn't figure out why.

There was a bit of discussion in the old wardrobe thread over whether this was okay or not, reaction there seemed pretty split.

It's definitely obnoxious if people are being pushy or begging, but personally I don't see the harm in just asking- I know I have a few pieces that I'd probably be willing to sell if I knew there was interest in them but cba to make a sales post.

Same, I lost a shoe size after losing only 20lbs. It's less common to not gain/lose a shoe size when your weight fluctuates.

Knowing this, I think I'd just add 'not selling wardrobe pieces at this time, thanks.'
Or in your case, drop the hint that you are. It's a grey area but personally, I'd be kind of taken aback if I was hit up to sell something just because I did a wardrobe post.

I think it really depends on the tone used. I frequent a collector's forum and most posts of that kind are along the lines of "If you ever decide to sell [x], I'd be very interested in purchasing it from you". But it's common etiquette to not make those kinds of posts on a thread where someone is making a brag about their acquisition - I would think a wardrobe post is in the same kind of "Look at all of this cool shit I'm really proud of owning" category, and I personally consider it bad form to try and stick your hand into another's collection when they're talking about how happy they are with it.

Look this is pretty simple.

You bought a pair of shoes and knew the length but not the width. This is both of your faults.

If the shoes seem to be honestly stretched out, you can file a PP claim and return the shoes on your own dime and get a refund, or maybe try to get the shipping comped since they are not as described (stretched). While you really should have asked first if they were wider than how tea parties usually fit for any reason, or just all the measurements (length and width), this is only 50% your fault.

It is her fault for not including the width measurements in the first place. If returning them as Not Described or even Damaged doesn't work in regards to her covering the shipping back to her, you are just going to have to cover it. She basically loses out on shipping them to you, and you lose out on shipping them back to her. She sells them to someone else, you get a refund.

Unfortunately you both lose out for assuming things instead of asking for all the information.

If I didn't actually like my job, I would have quit by now.
I'm still a student, so my workplace thinks it can get away with just ~forgetting~ to send out a month and a half worth of checks. I've had an AP order sitting in it's cart for god knows how long, (thankfully nobody has bought the items I'm getting...) waiting for these checks to come in. I know it's childish because I don't have food or gas to worry about (my parents help me out with food and gas costs because I'm a college student and my job doesn't pay too well.) but I'm still mega pissed that I cannot put in my order my a whole new AP coord because:
>"Oh, anon-chan, we have $600 worth of checks here for you? Oh my! Wow, how about that."
>"Uhm yeah can I have those?"
>Doesn't respond for 2 weeks no matter how much I contact my floor manager (who's also in charge of paychecks)
>Finally I get pushy
>All I get is, "come pick them up tomorrow. we'll mail them out if you don't come."

wow was that really so hard? I haven't gotten a check since BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I have been asking for my money for over a month. My money. My money that I want to spend on pretty dresses.

It's even more a punch in the stomach because this is my reward to myself for dropping 15lbs. I've always fit brand, but never as well as I would have liked to, so I've been working on losing weight but this is all the reward I get.

Also not quite lolita related but I enjoy the usually menial task of sorting dead fish. I don't like it when someone from a different department tells me to redo everything, even though I got the go-ahead from my manager. I should have been paid extra for that bullshit, I had to work through my lunch break.

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 4 00:23:19 2014 No.7348046 >>7348040 Not to mention it snowed like a mother fucker so I couldn't even pick up my checks. (The snow plows didn't come till about 10pm)

>>7348047
Nah, not illegally, it's just my floor-manager thinking she can be lazy about my checks and having a very elusive department head. There are too many department heads (all that act as managers, which causes some crazy inter-department shitfests. For example, the whole fish thing, I had one manager telling one thing and another telling me something completely different, but I still had to listen to both of them. I ended up finding middle ground, but still.)

I can KIND of feel for her, since our main guy who did pretty much everything (checks, PR, floor managing, etc. etc.) had recently quit. But still, one week is understandable. Over a month? No. Not at all. It doesn't help I have the biggest baby face. So not only am I actually the youngest person in the department, but I look a lot younger than I am. Which leads to people thinking they can just step all over me.

Thanks, haha. Usually people don't pay mind to my baby face because I'm a pretty average height, just about 5'5". But for some reason when I moved states all of a sudden height didn't matter? I'm not used to being treated like this at all.
I'm going to wait it out for three days, since the post might be a bit slow from the snow and that's when I'm working next... If the checks are not in my PO box I'm going to see if:
a) they actually mailed the checks out
b) they didn't. If this is the case, I'm sitting there till they give me the checks.
