shibahime's wardrobe Jan 2012
Hello, long time no see.
I realised that I did not have the patience to show absolutely everything in my wardrobe so I focused on what I thought would be the most interesting pieces for you to see.
My main closets in the bedroom is where I keep most of my lolita garments. It does not look like much. On one door I hang my bags. On the other door I keep my fur stoles and most often hang next day's outfit up so that I don't have to think in the morning before my coffee.
In the left closet: dresses and nice shoes. I keep the boring and practical shoes in the hallway.
In the right closet: tops, bottoms, bags and various non-lolita wear that needs to be hanging. Most other non-lolita wear is kept under my bed in easily accessed storage boxes.
~ Dresses ~
Last summer I sold off half of my closet because I felt I had too many dresses that I never got around to actually wear. I feel much lighter since then and all dresses get worn more often. Let's go by colour, shall we?
Golden beige and grey: Juliette et Justine x 2.
Burgundy: Innocent World x 2, Juliette et Justine.
Mint and florals: Metamorphose, Innocent World x 3.
Pink floral and lavender: Juliette et Justine x 2.
Brown: Innocent World x 3.
Black: Metamorphose, Innocent World, Kazuko Ogawa (my first brand dress ever, I can never let it go).
Black and white: Innocent World x 2.
~ Tops and the odd bottom ~
I have a lot of offbrand and vintage cardigans, blouses and skirts. Some are even homemade. But as I said earlier, taking photos of everything would not make such an interesting post so here are some chosen items.
Dusty pink: offbrand jacket, Victorian Maiden bolero, H&M lace sailor collar blouse.
Cream white: Innocent World cardigan, Innocent World blouses x 2, Juliette et Justine blouse.
Pale blue and mint: Juliette et Justine blouse, vintage blouse.
Brown and black: Juliette et Justine cutsew, Emily Temple Cute cardigan.
Beige green and mint: Juliette et Justine cutsew, Juliette et Justine skirt.
~ Various accessory storage space ~
In the corner of the bedroom I keep my jewelry close by the mirror. To save wardrobe space I currently keep summer garments (like thinner jackets) in the chest. When it is summer I fold together the winter garments and put them in the chest. In the hatboxes I keep my headwear and sockwear.
~ Socks ~
I prefer to use tights though. When it is cold I layer socks over my tights. When it is REALLY cold I go for thermal underwear, no excuses unless you want cold burns.
Mostly Innocent World but two pairs of Metamorphose also.
~ Bags ~
I love bags. LOVE. BAGS. I have a lot of vintage handbags but as usual, here are my most used bags.
L'est Rose beige/pink floral handbag, Metamorphose emblem bag, Milk heartshaped fanny pack, Innocent World house bag, Innocent World burgundy floral bag, vintage camera bag, Kazuko Ogawa lace bag, Innocent World Alice print trolley bag.
~ Headwear ~
I love bonnets, especially in chillier weather, but for everyday wear I mostly wear headbands. I love the old headdresses too, I really do.
Innocent World black bonnet, Innocent World brown/white half bonnet, Triple Fortune half bonnet.
Headdresses: Metamorphose black lace and red rose headdress, Angelic Pretty headdress, Metamorphose pearl barrette, Metamorphose frill headdress, Metamorphose headeating bow.
Metamorphose rose hairties, Innocent World bows, Innocent World headdress, Metamorphose rose brooch just sneaked in to the picture.
Headbands: mostly Innocent World, one from Juliette et Justine, one from Metamorphose.
~ Outerwear ~
In spring I prefer to wear cardigans instead of jackets. Sometimes I wear leather jackets and in really cold winter weather I wear fur jackets. I have a weakness for berets, velvet gloves and scarves too, none of them pictured here though.
Brown: vintage short jacket with black floral embroideries, Innocent World earmuffs, Mary Magdalene coat.
Dark blue: vintage jacket with polkadot bowtie, Innocent World trenchcoat.
Black Emily Temple Cute jacket with Juliette et Justine fake fur collar, Innocent World umbrella.
