This year was easily the most difficult wardrobe post I have made.
You can find my previous posts here, here, here and here too.
This year inspired by some stunning wardrobe posts I convinced myself I wanted to do it proper this year. I broke out my DSLR and everything, only to have LJ rip out my heart with it's limits, causing me to batch resize and have pics which were only suitable for ants. Small ants.
THEN - I uploaded all these pics and none of them came out, cue whining on Facebook asking for help - heck I even created a blogspot just to get round this (spiteful frills, if you were wondering) and still nothing, so I put them on my own Facebook for the gratification I needed, but, it felt like a cheat, so here is my last, last ditch effort courtsey of photobucket.
I was disheartened and disillusioned - dare I try again?
Well I did, with my trust and crappy camera phone.
Please forgive the inconsistencies ad my cat - Old Mo, I feel this year broke me and fractured my mind.
Aha - so here we go
Le Miror - Taobao
This took months to arrive and I didn't evem take it to the bird cafe when I was in Tokyo, I feel I did this out of resentment and spite.

I still love this and want it in more colours
Baby The Stars Shine Bright
I love this dress, it's not my desired colourway, but I can live with it. Fun fact, someone had my desired colourwayfrom a lucky pack and she didn't want this and was up for a trade - they wanted a dress I was selling for £70 and another, what, £80 on top - nah love, jog on!
Angelic Pretty
Adore this, thought it would never be in my life in this colourway but look - here it is. Well done me.

When I first tried it on, I hated the cut on me, it was strange, but even stranger, I tried it on again a month or so later and it was perfect, go figure, maybe I was due on or something?

Mo may look like he his helping, but when you look in his eyes you see he is judging. Always judging

I asked for the belt, but I think when I get round to wearing it, I will use a plain ribbon instead.

After 12??? Taobao
Lord I do not know where this is from - I call it not French Cafe.
Taobao? Please, I forget where this is from or what it is called, all I remember is the ballache in actually getting this from my shopping service. Pro tip - when starting out a shopping service, make sure you know when your colleagues have SHIPPED YOUR GODDAMN ORDERS

This is a silent but deadly piece of Meta - look how wonderful this baby is.

Pretty much one of 2.5 releases from AaTP last year that I didn't feel was a pile of crap.

Wore this to a convention, got a few "Wow, I love your steampunk lolita coord" - I feel I died a little bit inside that day. I swear I looked great, I was just around some poor unfortunate souls.

I love this dress! I missed it the first time, and then the second time too, buuut, because Meta are awesome and I am a chancer, when I saw people were recieving their emails saying their order had arrived from the second reservation, I send Meta an email saying something along the lines of "Please help, these are the cuts I would like in these colourways order of preference" I listed pretty much everything and days later they replied saying they had my number 1 choice all round! +1000 points to Meta!

Hope you have enjoyed looking through my main pieces, I was considering picturing other items, like bags and such, but then I lost heart!
Thanks for looking
