>mfw about 9 or 10 dresses i havent even worn yet in my closet

[Anonymous No.7945344]

My feel is more relative to having to dress appropriately for the weather

It's hard to look cool or cute when it's 30f outside with a windchill taking off another 10 degrees, I just have whatever can keep me from turning into a popsicle

[Anonymous No.7945437]

>>7945306
At this point, this is true for me for all clothing, but especially true for nicer/fancier stuff. Even dressing up for "no reason" still means there's a lot of stuff I only wear a couple times a year. Especially since it's like 10F outside already, so cute clothes are out of rotation until probably March. I still buy some new stuff, but I feel a little bad and overly consumerist about it.

[Anonymous No.7945713]

>>7945437

I'm at this point myself. I don't go to occasions, I don't have parties, I have little reason to dress up. It doesn't help I'm a poorfag, where going out just means using money that could be spent on food/rent..

[Anonymous No.7945722]

I know that feel. I look a million times better in skirts and dresses but it's always so fucking cold and windy where I live that I'll be walking around holding my skirt down, while trying to hold up an umbrella in winter

[Anonymous No.7945757]

At least i'm not the only one feeling this! I buy some lolita or jfashion but i dont really wear them often because most of my time is at home.

My main problem is that it's permasummer where I live and the temperature probably averages out at like 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. I go to college so that's where I wear my stuff. I'm always overdressed (or more precisely, overelaborately dressed), nobody's even surprised anymore.

Do what I do and go to goodwill and try stuff on. At least that way it's cheap and you don't feel so bad. Of course check for stains and missing buttons as well (found a great quality sweater the other day, from a brand that was made no later then 1997)

Me everyday, OP. It's sad because I love my Lolita clothes, but when I don't go to meet ups I rarely or almost never wear them. I just lack the confidence. But I like the clothes and they are one of the few things in my life I actually still enjoy, sooo fuck it.

I put it on my mannequin.

This is what I'm trying to do right now. For me, going outside is rather scary so I tend to put off chores that need to happen outside of my home. But if I get dressed up that day I suddenly feel way more comfortable about going out and actually get shit done.
It's not very time-efficient since I spend like two hours putting an outfit together just to get groceries but it makes me feel better about myself and my wardrobe.

[Anonymous No.7946834]

Me too.. everytime i put together a cute outfit ready to go to the shops, as soon as I take 1 step outside I run inside again and just wear a large, baggy shirt and jeans. The only time I ever feel confident in cute clothes- or even just skirts- is when I'm with my friends, and that's not a lot of the time.. :(

Anons, you should try to find fleece lined leggings. The colors are usually kind of limited, but they do a good job of keeping my legs warm in the winter! With a cute wool skirt, nice coat, boots and leg warmers it's super cute.

It's easily one of my top ten dresses though. Consider that once it's sold, I'd have to pay that high price myself to get it back, if I ever change my mind and find that I miss it a lot.

My boyfriend does that too. Whenever we go out he says "what are you getting dressed up for? it's nothing fancy" no matter where we're going. Whether it's class, the zoo, a restaurant, his parents' house, the movies, a birthday party or a graduation ceremony, as soon as I put on a dress he's all "why so fancy"? It's kind of annoying and demoralizing but I have to keep in mind that this is a 26-year-old guy who shows up to job interviews in a t-shirt, jeans and worn-out sneakers. I guess we'll just be that couple where one is always overdressed and the other is always underdressed.

It's a good idea to give it some thought before buying. I rarely buy "useless" stuff anymore, but I do have a couple of pink frilly dresses that really don't fit my personality and style AT ALL and I don't know what I was thinking when I bought them.

I also rarely get a chance to dress up, since I do physically heavy work at a storage and my uniform there is pants, t-shirt and ponytail. Can't keep even remotely long nails either because it would be hard to lift and open stuff. But that also inspires me to dress up when I CAN do it, which balances my girly side.

Sounds like me. I like how I dress but nothing kills my confidence faster than trying to dress as a proper girl and realizing how shit I look. It gets tiring being mistaken for a crossdressing man when your goal is to be cute and feminine. On the other hand, everyone correctly assumes I'm a girl when I'm wearing my dude clothes. I'm not trying to pass as a male so that works out I guess.

Lolita and otome have changed my aesthetic so much. Whenever I touch clothing from fast fashion shops I can't help but cringe. Nothing has the right shape and cut that I like, too. After all of that I only bought a dress and some boots.

[Anonymous No.7954854]

>>7954769
Well, the dress I own looks a bit better than this one. It's not something I'd wear to a meetup though.

I wasn't sure how my mom would respond to lolita, so I thought it was a better idea to buy some cheap dresses and see how she reacted to that, rather than buying a brand piece.
As I said, she has thrown my stuff away before. This dress wouldn't be a big loss if it came to that.
