scared
Hello,
I've been into lolita since 2001, but didn't start building a wardrobe until late 2003/early 2004. Holy fudgsicles, 11 years!
Anyhow, to save some time, I reused (brightened up a little though) some photos from last years post (the ones on the brown comforter). With the exception of the petticoat photo, all the ones on the red bedsheet are new.
Like usual, my fiance's wardrobe is included (after mine) as well!
Lolita gives me a strong feeling of being true to myself that I have never felt before...

~Where we store most of our stuff...
(for now; hoping for better options for some of it one day)
Dresses, blouses, cardigans, skirts, jackets and what not - on the racks. You can see my Edwardian inspired hat on the wall on the right. Jewelry and smaller accessories are in the mirror.
Most of our hats and hair accessories are in the hat boxes. The boxes in the center have socks, bloomers, and tights.
My partner's tricorns on the wall, more hats in the hatbox below. My knee high socks are stored in one of the bedside drawers.

I'm hoping for the new year, to build up more on the smaller things, such as more elaborate (chiffon, lace...) blouses and boleros/cardigans, tights, accessories; complete some coordinates that I've either not been satisfied with, or have just never been or felt complete. I'm hoping to get better at coordinating altogether; even though I've been in this fashion for so long, I still feel I'm not very good at it yet!
Although I have already been weeding out my wardrobe down to what I really do love over the past year, I still feel like a little more weeding is in order (just a little), and a bit of building up with more of the things that I really really love.
I'm also really hoping I will get a LOT more sewing done this year then I have in the past few years.
I also would love to acquire more gothic pieces, and something super princessy.
I guess that's it (phew). I would like to thank everyone that has posted their wardrobes so far, and those yet to come, as I really enjoy them! I hope you have enjoyed ours.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank you so much for looking!
