I have many of similar striped otks (green, hot pink, black with skulls, purple with silver) that i don't use really much because they would look ita/shit on printed dresses, but at least they would look acceptable in a solid black jsk with some subtle punky/accessories with the color of the stripe or silver tones spiked stuff or i'm going to ita territory?

I have similar socks. Honestly, since you're apparently goth outside of Lolita, just keep them to that part of your wadrobe. Black/Something looks tremendously ita.
Even if it were Punk Lolita, I think mono-coloured stockings would be appropriate.

>> No.7959896

>>7959885
It depends on which gothic style, really. Black/red and Black/white are the most common, but sometimes black/purple comes out okay. Black/pink are sometimes used, but these tend to be the people who insist on some kind of "SUPER FEMININE" aesthetic with their goth-ness when often times it looks pretty trashy.

>> No.7959926

Well usually the bright colors like hot pink or green are more cyber or punk than the usual goth stuff.

Some wear them, some not. I don't like that much lace, velvet and elegant stuff outside lolita. My look is more punk than elegant goth i admit but i love velvet, lace and stuff in gothic lolita strangely.
But also, there are many styles inside the goth umbrella.

It's a mobile thing. Because it's a mobile bidding platform, you can access their personal information more easily than through YJA, so they're wary of men (most shopping services are run with male names), shopping services (due to harassment/poor service situations; they also don't follow the rules. A lot of mbok sellers require you to "introduce" yourself by contacting them before bidding, and a lot of large SS just skip that step, so their bids are cancelled), and to a lesser degree, foreigners.

Most of my mbok bid cancellations have been through large SS companies. Smaller, private ones, particularly the ones headed by women, are less frequently rejected.

I just bought boots from Closet Child that ended up being way more damaged than in the pictures. I'm not sure if it happened in transit or I damaged them by trying them on, or if they really underestimated the damage on the site. Has this happened to anyone else?

>> No.7960763

>>7960759
Not for me, I've ordered from CC over a dozen times in the past year and I've never had them underestimate damage. Sometimes they even overestimate how bad a mark or a spot is and I can't even find it when the item arrives. That's pretty unusual anon, were they packed well? Because it sounds more like it happened in transit than anything else.

Sorry to here the stuff you wanted sold out anon.
>>7960736
haha, exactly, I was over my budget and had to talk myself out of getting another cutsew even though it was only $70.

In the end I got Loyal Rosette in brown and the Loyal key cut sew in brown, I wanted red in both but the skirt sold out while I was checking out and I was tossing up between the brown and red anyway, plus my friend were telling me to get brown and red was her last choice, so I am not really disappointed at that. I've been wanting to get more brown for my wardrobe so now I've given myself the excuse to get more as a I have a mainly brown piece.

>> No.7960769

>>7960759
I've ordered from Closet Child a couple of times and despite the page saying my items had some damage they arrived pretty much perfectly. They usually mark their items way down for things like almost-invisible spots or a couple of pulled threads, so your boots were probably damaged in transit.

>> No.7960780

>>7960763
>>7960769
That was my experience, too. Everything I bought from them before was always in way better shape than they said it was and some of the spots they'd circle were practically indistinguishable in regular lighting.

The boots were wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a relatively large box. They had cardboard tubes and wadded up paper inside to keep the shape, which I was surprised to find because they looked rather squashed. The box was fine, though. They spent about a five days in customs. Could that have something to do with it?

I'll see if I can take some pictures of the
damage. I hope I can fix it somehow.

Nope. I actually searched the box and its contents pretty thoroughly because I was looking for some small accessories I also bought. They turned out to be stuck to another package I had already removed from the box.
I also noticed that the cardboard tube in the right boot (the most heavily damaged one) was only filled with wadded-up paper for about 1/3rd of the length whereas the one in the left boot was filled for about 3/4th. Either they were sloppily packaged or someone removed it and didn't put it back properly.

Looking at this Haenuli shit now I'm super interested in an Angel of Music OP. What colorway should I get? I really like both.

I like Treasure Japan, but I've been meaning to try a few others because these small services tend to die off when the owner/runner finds another means of income or experiences a major life change.

The thing about personal shopping services is that they're almost always going to be more expensive. I don't mind, because they're generally better at providing service. For one thing, they'll ask sellers questions (a lot of large shopping services say they do as well, but they often don't manage to get around to it in time for the auction's end, because everything is automated).

Good idea or bad idea? I like everyone and they're all kind of friends (been there three months but slowly getting along with everyone) so they are going to find out eventually but I'm not sure how to introduce it to them.
Also, how do you introduce lolita to your friends? Do you just dress quirky often enough it's not weird? Since I usually wear weird shit just going out with nonwork friends it's less of a surprise to introduce those friends to it, but after three months of seeing me in jeans and uggs I feel kinda weird showing up in BTSSB to this thing.

It's not so much an age thing as an appearance and life situation thing. I know a woman who is in her early thirties and still pulls sweet off really well. Many Japanese and most popular western lolitas are in their early to mid twenties. If you work a srs business job where people are less accepting of weird hobbies or are starting to look a bit old (unlikely at 22!) you might want to tone it down a bit, but there is no strict cut-off age where the lolita police comes to your house to repossess all your burando.

Not gonna defend the mentor, since the comment is out of context so I don't know if she's giving good advice or not.

If you've been in lolita for more than 5 years, you'll be able to see trends change -- and with it, lolita opinions.

Currently the trend is against fake-looking candy-coloured wigs, but it's not as simple as "this is in right now, a lot of girls are doing it". There is also a large chunk of lolitas who view unnatural candy-coloured wigs as turning lolita fashion into a costume, and will judge you harshly for wearing one.

Contrast this with 5-7 years ago when AP photoshoots first started appearing with candy-coloured wigs. The sweet lolitas back then were excited to try it as the idea of wearing a pink wig to match you AP coord was something new and interesting at that point in time. There may have been a few lolitas who didn't like the wigs even back then, but they were the minority, whereas now they are the majority.

Fair enough if you want to argue that trending things alone shouldn't influence your fashion choices, but in this case the wig choice comes with other people's negative judgements attached to it. For a newbie who may have entered the fashion based on actual burando photoshoot from 2007, 2008 when candy-coloured wigs were still novel and interesting, this is really the most sensible explanation -- yes, they used to be cool, but now they're not cool anymore, so don't wear them.

Honestly I think part of my issue is that finding a colored wig that doesn't look like you pulled it off the 70% clearance rack at the Target Halloween section can be tricky, and a lot of newer lolitas just straight up miss the mark. I'm glad to see natural hair colors coming back into style again, but unless someone's wig actually looks thin and super shiny (in other words, shitty costume grade), I think it's a little silly to count it against them for the purposes of a mentor thread. It's better to improve your coording skills before you start trend-chasing for tumblr reblogs.

That's fine to say if the wig doesn't suit the coord or is of bad quality, then use that as a point. But saying that it's not in trend right now isn't good advice. It didn't go with the coord but being on trend shouldn't matter. That's all I was saying.

What is a reasonable amount of time to mail out an item?
I bought an item on lacemarket and because shipping was included she said she would ship it the slower method and I was fine with that because I just needed the item before christmas and I bought it the beggining of november. Then it took her a week and a half to mail the item out so I ended up having to pay extra to get it shipped faster so it would still make it in time. The extra shipping wasn't that much more but I feel like it was kind of rude that she charged me at all for it considering it was her fault it wouldn't get to me in time. I am a seller as well and I always get my items in the mail within a day or two of payment....

>> No.7963716

>>7963710
I'd say a reasonable time is a week. With the way things are set up now, you dont even need to go to the post office, just print the label, wrap up your package, and stick it in a mailbox. There's no reason that should take 2 weeks, and it's kind of bullshit that she charged you extra to get it shipped faster, especially if you told her that you needed it by a certain date and she agreed to that.

>> No.7963719

>>7963582

>>7963710
As a seller, I aim to ship within 3 days. I think 5 days is still acceptable, a week is pushing it, unless you're away on vacation or something. Week and a half is unacceptable to me. She should have covered the shipping

>>7963719
Not that anon, but I'm from Europe, and how hard can it really be? You can print the shipping label at home, and then just drop it off at the PO right? Who doesn't have a PO close to their home? Every shithole village in Europe I've ever been to has at least one, bigger cities at least 3-4
