Anaira's 2016 Wardrobe Post
I've been in lolita for 5 years or so. This is my second wardrobe post, the only other one being back in 2013. I've gotten rid of very few things since then, but have definitely added a lot. I'm a bit of a hoarder with my wardrobe, but one of my goals this year is to actually sell the pieces I no longer want (most of which I haven't included).
All the main pieces are organized by brand, with the other stuff at the bottom. If an item has a matching head accessory I've tried to include it in the main piece photo. My wardrobe has a few themes in it, stars, bunnies and circuses, but otherwise is pretty all over the place!
My camera is a little silly and the lighting here is not great, so I apologize if some of the photos are slightly out of focus or blurry.

Rose Last Note OP+Headbow | Angelic School OP | Sugary Carnival OP
I accidentally bought Rose Last Note in pink instead of lavender the first time because the photos were so bad, whoops. My goal for this year is to actually get stuff to wear with Sugary Carnival instead of just looking at it.
Melty Royal Chocolate Skirt
Alice and the Pirates
Electric Circus in the Moonlight Night JSK I+Bonnet (brown and black) | Twilight Circus JSK II
Electric Circus is perfect, I would get ever colourway if I could. Twilight Circus not so much and should probably sell it.
Guilty Meltin’ Sweets Town JSK II | Tricky Nightmare Factory Skirt+Pin | Winding Rose Corset JSK
I really want the red version of Guilty Meltin' but fail every time it comes up. Tricky Nightmare is adorable and the purple is such a nice colour. Winding Rose came with failing boning that had to be replaced immediately but is in relatively good shape for an older dress.
AatP Operetta Bouquet JSK | BtSSB Annaliese Rose Ribbon JSK
It's kind of cheating grouping these together when I'm sorting by brand, but they use the same wonderful fabric.
Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Clockwork Tea Party Pearl JSK+Headbow (red and navy) | Clockwork Tea Party Lumiere JSK+Headbow
Yes, I have a problem with this dress. But these are the only colourways I like so at least I've stopped buying them.
Milky Way JSK | Elenoir JSK | Alice's Chess Print JSK
I love Milky Way so much, it was my first direct Baby purchase and I have no regrets. Elenoir was a random purchase but it has such nice details. Alice's Chess is another dress I'm thinking of selling but it was my first brand purchase so I keep hesitating.
Blooming Fairy Doll JSK+Headbow
I had been looking for a white chiffon dress for awhile, so when I saw this at Rufflecon I knew it was meant to be.
Baroque
Missing Letter Keys and Rabbit OP+Berret | Rabbit Circus JSK+Headbow+Overskirt
The construction of the left dress isn't the best but I love it anyway. The one on the right I loved when I bought it but less so now. To me the bodice just seems awkwardly plain compared to the rest of the dress, even with the extra bow I ordered.
Innocent World
Rabbit Letter Skirt | Camille Skirt | Dwarf Story Skirt
I really want more from the Rabbit Letter series but with how popular it is that seems unlikely. The Dwarf Story skirt didn't used to be pink, but trying to fix some print run went poorly...looking at this skirt now kind of makes me sad.
Charles Crown Long JSK | Dot Jacquard Circus JSK
Charles Crown was my second brand item and it's so nice even if it makes my legs disappear. Dot Jacquard Circus is incredibly comfy but has a bleeding problem.
Juliette et Justine
Cadre du Lapin JSK | Robe de Celadon OP
I fell in love with Cadre du Lapin after I got to model it for a JetJ fashion show. Robe de Celadon makes me feel like a witch which is pretty good. It also wouldn't go on the dress form so is pinned here.
Taobao Brands
Alice Garden Alice & Nanami Star Chiffon OP+Bows | Krad Lanrete Mozarabic Chant Long JSK | Krad Lanrete The Venice Carnival JSK II
Star Chiffon is so weightless that any petti gives it major poof and it's super cute and comfortable. Venice Carnival honestly disappoints me. The fabric choice seems poor for such a rich print and the cost of the accessories was unreasonable.
Surface Spell Dark Shadow and the Void of a New Dream Book Velvet Foil-Leaf Magic Dovetail JSK | Long Ears and Sharp Ears Museum of Fairy JSK II+Overskirt | HMHM Skirt
Really Surface Spell, REALLY??

Mary Magdalene Fleur Antoinette OP | Victorian Maiden British Marine Emblem JSK | Handmade Skirt
I haven't figured out how to style Fleur yet but I'm looking forward to warmer weather to give it a try.
And all my otome stuff! I really want to buy more otome this year that I'm willing to wear to work.
Emily Temple Cute
Tea Bunnylabel Ribbon OP | Shirley Temple Cute Bunny Frames JSK | British Tartan Check OP
Bunnylabel is perfect. The Shirley Temple dress doesn't fit right but I haven't found the time to alter it yet, guess that's what happens when things are made for kids! I just got the British Tartan and really love it. It's a great piece that I can wear to work.
Electric Circus is perfect, I would get ever colourway if I could. Twilight Circus not so much and should probably sell it.

Falling Alice OP | Deer and Fox OP | Dot Ribbon OP
Falling Alice and Forest Animals were my first ETC purchases. I don't wear them as much anymore but they're both so nice so I won't ever get rid of them. Dot Ribbon is a perfect casual piece that I wear all the time.
Unknown OP
I wish ETC made more of their cutsew OPs still, they're great casual pieces.
Jane Marple
Carousel JSK+Necklace | Unknown JSK | Winter Rabbit OP
The second I saw photos of Carousel I knew I needed it. Winter Rabbit was a lucky find on Lacemarket one day, I never actually expected to find it but one random search and it was there!

Leur Getter Petit Gateau Just Waist Switching Dress | Peppermint Fox Crowning Glory II JSK | Grimoire Zodiac Sign OP
Leur Getter and Grimoire are both super comfortable and I love wearing them. Crowning Glory is sadly too big for me, so it doesn't look great worn (but I still wear it anyway). I want to alter it but since it's lined chiffon I'm a little too scared to do it myself.
After finishing all my main pieces bad weather and winter days stole the rest of the natural light, so I really apologise for the quality of the rest of these photos.

Gardenberries fabric that I still haven't made into anything. Suggestions for dress styles are welcome!
I'm waiting for a few things as well:
Thanks for looking through my mess of clothes! My goal for this year is to have an outfit using every single main item. Anything that doesn't work needs to be sold!
