Luckee Cookie's +Wardrobe post
Realizing the size of my wardrobe and being a busy gal, I found it difficult to put together a full wardrobe post since I've been
Dresses (OPs/Jsks)
ETC Teaspoons OP in grey (left) and AP Royal Unicorn Goblein jsk in cream/sax (right).
These were on my hit list when I went to Japan! I was so happy I was able to buy them both! I just love these two pieces! Not going to lie that I stalked a girl around the ETC store for a good 15+ minutes since she was holding on to it to try it on; the moment she didn't go with that color way, I snatched it off the rack (in my justification, I did ask one of the shop girls if they had another one in that color and she told me no). It was really odd, I was keeping an eye on the Marui webstore for this print and it was suppose to be long sold out and I convinced myself that I liked the print enough to get it either way in any color... but how it somehow my preferred cut and color resurfaced is beyond me what the heck happened! O_O
AatP Rabbit Briar jsk I (left) and IW Angel Rose Basket halter jsk in black (right).
I am AMAZED by the amount of detail on the print for the Rabbit Briar; I am so glad to be there in person at AatP to snatch it myself! Has everything from bunnies, crowns, roses... you name it! I was also happy with my find this older IW print (I own the skirt already) in jsk form!
ETC Bunny and Mushroom (flocked) OP in Navy (left) and ETC Cake Applique jsk (right, moded).
I really like the mushroom and bunnies motifs together and with such a rich blue colour, I just couldn't say no! I've been eyeing the ETC cake jsk for a while now and seeing the details in person, I went for it; I removed the bottom trim on this jsk since it only spanned about 1/3 of the front of the dress and to me it was really awkward. I contemplated in moving that trim over to the collar to just the front but decided against it since I think I'll get more use out of it if it was on the cleaner and simpler side.
Milk dot navy jsk (left) and ETC trump navy jsk (right); I don't know the proper name for these.
More casual/otome wear but that's what I love about them that I can sneak them into my regular wardrobe.
AP Marching Girl short sleeve cutsew OP in Blue (right).
Almost forgot about this one being tucked away with my other cutsew stuff so don't mind that this photo is a bit mixed. I can't wait to wear this out once the weather warms up, it's such a comfy cute dress!
Skirts
AatP Cock Robin Skirt in navy (top left), ETC Jewlery and knit skirt (bottom left), AatP Star flocky Slaopette skirt in navy (right).
I've always seen cock robin around thinking "yeah it's a nice print but I'm not jumping in line for it" but seeing it in person and the velvet corset paired with the print along with sparkly and metallic trims, I'm sold! This is one thing that makes me wish I could see some of these pieces in person or else I wouldn't have known!
Meta poodle and house skirt in pink (top left), Meta Kimono print skirt in red (bottom left), Atelier white skirt (top right), Meta swan lace skirt in off-white (bottom right).
Ah the nostalgia of the old Meta days... reminds me of the old school style I once fell in love with and got me into Lolita in the first place; I felt like it was a cute play of the 50s poodle skirts! I just love the full elastic meta skirts. They are SO comfy and poof-able to give it full volume. Getting the Meta swan lace skirt was interesting (that and the surprise that it's slightly sparkled print too!): I got it in my LP but since I got it in store, I didn't get a tote/eco bag that many people got with their pack but that's alright because being there in person, you can actually make out what print was in the pack by just pressing their plastic bag down a bit. I felt a little bad about it and at first was trying to sneak a 'peek' but then everyone else started too as well (the shop girls seemed totally cool with it O_O') so I got the print I wanted out of the lot! :D
Jackets and Vests
Atelier Pierrot cape (top left), Peace Now blazer (top right), BPN velvet blazer (bottom center).
The cape came from the Atelier Pierrot luckypack and the other two I picked up at Closet Child. BPN's jackets are so nice (I'm sad they kinda came to an end) and I jumped on them when I found them!
AatP stripe vest (left), Atelier BOZ black vest (center), AatP Azure vest (right).
Oh yes! Swallow tailed vests and long vests to boot!
Blouses/Cardigans
Atelier Pierot square-neck blouse in black (top left), AatP black blouse with jabot (bottom left), Meta Double Collar Frill Blouse with Ribbon Tie (pink-beige), Wonder Rocket blouse (top right), AatP white blouse (bottom right).
All of the blouses I got from luckypacks... funny thing is that I didn't have anything that was duplicate in terms of general style and colour! I was surprised how well (color and style-wise) the meta blouse went with my Royal Unicorn Goblein jsk (SCORE)!
AatP Leclair chiffon bolero in wine (top left), Momo black cardigan (middle left), Liz Lisa off-white cardigan (bottom left), Ozz-on long purple thing I don't know what to call it (right).
I picked up the ozz on shirt-thing and I had the longest stare at it since it was so lovely but I don't know what to coordinate it with (yet)... I just couldn't put it back down it was so flowy and pretty!
Liz Lisa knit crop cardigan in beige (top left) and Franche Lippe bows cardigan (bottom left).
Both came to me from luckypacks but I really like how simple and cute they are for in and out of Lolita style.
Accessories/Jewlery
(Top to bottom, left to right): Meta Swan cameo barette (brown), AatP Rabbit Briar headbow, AatP Galatic Journey to the Stars Bonnet in black, AP Royal Unicorn Goblein Headbow (and broach that came with the jsk), Paris Kids plastic bow lace barette in white, Chocomint blue bow clip with dangling gems, BPN butterfly clip.
(Left to right): Offbrand pearls and puffs necklace, AatP Lock the PANDORA's Memories Plate Necklace in Silver, Vivienne Westwood gold orb necklace, Vivienne Westwood silver orb ring, Q-pot blackberry cake necklace, Q-pot wooden biscuit necklace, Meta crown cameo necklace in brown, AatP Dance of the Black Cats Violin Necklace in black, BPN butterflies and keys necklace.
Ah it's such a dream come true! I found pieces that I long sought after: the Vivi orbs and the Q-pot biscuits!
Missing (whoops): AatP eyepatch from the Rabbit Briar set and my white Metamorphose parasol.
Socks
(Top to bottom, left to right): AP dot fur crew socks, ETC crew socks in sax, AatP crown socks (from Rabbit Briar set), AatP Rose vine socks, Meta Lace Swan OTK in cream, Axes Femme plaid with stars beige tights, Swimmer bows tights, ETC thigh-high blue/navy socks.
I find that when I go to Japan I have this urge to buy lots of socks. This is just my more Lolita ones. I'm glad I picked up a variety from crew socks to tights! Now I'm ready for the year (I guess?)!
Purses
(Top to bottom, left to right): Q-pot mook tote, Liz Lisa boston LP purse, Muchacha mook bunny totes and mini purse, AP Chocolat Classic Pochette in pink, IW mook Violin purse.
Yeah... I got my fix on mooks this trip :B
Picked up this lovely envelope purse in Harajuku!
Shoes
Axes femme (left), Offbrand rainboots (right)
Already wearing the lots when I bought them. The rainboots are not exactly lolita but I thought they were cute enough to share anyways since I've never seen rainboots that look more like regular boots than the generic rainboot shape (plus, it's floral!).
Sample Cordinates
And for the fun of it... I took some of my new additions and piece together some coordinates! (I might as well while I had my clothes out, right?)
I also keep a tumblr of my fashion stuff (Lolita/otome/mori styles) if you like what you see!
Thanks for reading! O u O/
