"Oh no quick, what's something pretty lying around that shows off my aesthetic??"
presenting:
Hello there!! I've been ogling at lolita wardrobe posts in here for quite a while now, but I never really thought I had as much of a wardrobe of my own to show off before. My wardrobe is still quite small, but I think I may have enough of a collection that I'll make a post this time!!
DRESSES
Ista Mori - Ace & Alice OP
Well what a perfect way to open up my generally classic wardrobe, with a gothic piece~!
Magic Tea Party - Veronica Print JSK
I had actually ordered this in the cream version and got the blue instead~ Not a good first impression of mylolitadress (but I didn't return it because I tend to have a pretty brown wardrobe and I thought "well I do love blue+brown combos" so I still own it. It spices up my wardrobe!)
Angelic Pretty - Melty Ribbon Chocolate Low-waist JSK
I've been eyeing the melty ribbon chocolate series for a while now, it was just once I found one on lace market for cheap that I decided to bite ^o^ (the cord around the waist wasn't like that when I bought it I forgot to take it off before washing it ;u; and I guess the cord on the bust tie was made to be washed fine?? because it sure looks fine) I'm still keeping an eye out for the collar jsk in bitter, even though I can't spend my money right now rip
SKIRTS
That one skirt I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother owns. That's right, it's the:
Bodyline L325 skirt
I believe this is the first lolita piece I've ever owned. It's served me well!!
Dear Celine - Invented Wings Knight skirt
I had been waiting for this skirt and longing for it for so long. The colour actually came out lighter than I expected it to! It's a gorgeous skirt with lovely detailing though. The zipper on it did break though, so I need to get around to replacing it with another one.
Handmade
My boyfriend's mother made this for me, based off of Innocent World's Classical Lace Skirt. Unfortunately, the cotton really doesn't favour cold, dry weather it seems~ The pockets seem to be especially unhappy
Angelic Pretty - Cameo Window skirt
This, for the longest time, has basically been my ultimate dream skirt. I had actually seen this in last year's wardrobe event (I was actually happy to see it because I was starting to doubt this skirt even truly existed in this colourway, I had never seen non-stock photos of it posted anywhere before!!) and then not long after that same person was selling it on lacemarket. I am so thrilled that I own it now and it's my very first major brand piece ever! Now I understand what it's like when people with their Angelic Pretty and Baby the Stars Shine Bright etc. dresses say "IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN PERSON" because that's what I experieneced with this skirt. I think the details are stunning~
BLOUSES
in sweet loving memory of my Dear Celine Bell Sleeve Lace Blouse II. I got that in white, but I didn't really take proper care of it and the colour is really really dull now, so I don't really wear it anymore. But anyway I guess the main point is I swear I used to have more blouse variety than I do now ;u; I currently can't afford to replenish the supply so much right now though
HMHM - Lamia Anarch blouse
(at least I think that's what it's called)
Sooooooooooo if you're ever looking at this blouse and wondering if you want it or not, I just want to warn right now that the buttons break apart really easily. I just happened to conveniently place my sleeve so that a bunch of the missing buttons got covered up. But I'm going to replace all of the buttons with new buttons before all the rest fall apart.
Dear Celine - Antique Lace Collar Long-sleeved Blouse (wow that's a mouthful but at least it's not btssb)
Apparently by the time I got to this blouse I forgot the memo on which position I would take the second image from. But anyway this is probably my most used blouse (aside from the one that I didn't take proper care of) because it feels very lovely and it's super pretty!! This blouse definitely did not disappoint.
Infanta - Fragrance Long Sleeved Blouse
A cute, thick chiffon blouse!.... Not much else I have to comment on.... it uhhhh has bishop sleeves and I love bishop sleeves so yeah.
Reine
hastily tied ribbon bow ftw!! \o/ I don't think it really has a name... I discovered yesstyle and went into asian fashion heaven. Reine is a cute lolita(-inspired?) shop I found.
OUTERWEAR
fanplusfriend - Ribbon Grisaille coat
This poor coat's gone through a looooooooooooot of abuse by me. I get cold pretty easily and this coat is SO THICK AND HEAVY so I've used it a lot. And we... also live on a farm so it's been out in some of that as well.I don't appreciate my giant coat well enough
Dear Celine - Invented Wings Knight vest
Bought it with the skirt. I really love the design of this vest and the buttons are quite pretty looking!
fanplusfriend - Silence Lonely cape
An adorable little capelet, I actually had to get my boyfriend's mother to shorten the collar for me because they made it waaaaaaaaay too tall for my neck. It probably would have been fine if I had my hair all tied up.
fanplusfriend - Silence Lonely vest
Pretty sure those come as a set, so yeah I have both cape and vest.Also just allow me to conveniently cover the buttons in my phone's shadow so the details can be slightly easier to see
ACCESSORIES
Those are all various offbrand items. The only one that is an actual lolita item is the white headdress, which is Surface Spell Gothic's Rose Daisy headdress.
Unfortunately, I actually ownly own one pair of shoes that could work with lolita. I've been hunting for black oxfords to suit my other neutral colour scheme but I've been having awful luck finding any that fit me well or are comfy to wear. I have kind of wide feet so that gives me issues. The middle cream beret though is another fanplusfriend thing and the dark chocolate beret was another yesstyle purchase, from Fitight. The collar is just... a random collar that came with an axes femme poncho I bought on rakuten?? I'm going to assume that it's an axes femme collar for now I guess. But I actually have basically no clue what it is!! I just wear it with some of my lolita coordinates sometimes c: It's VERY SOFT
and finally, my purses. I've got my neutrals covered in this case at least~! They're both Loris bags and I use them whether I'm wearing lolita or not anyway :D
And that's it for my wardrobe!! Thank you for looking! I hope next year I'll have more lovely pieces to show offespecially if it's that stupid elusive melty ribbon chocolate collar jsk in bitter and I wish you all the best of luck in obtaining more lovely clothing for yourselves!
Bonus: on the way
I have a new yesstyle order getting processed and it's got a new blouse and some chokers for me to wear!
I got this cute kind of minty blue-greenish blouse from the brand Elisa Rachel. As I said before I loooove blue+brown combos, I look forward to pairing this with some browns~!
I got pretty simple chokers for this order to start with, I plan on looking into more elaborate chokers eventually.
This is from a brand named Amina
and this is from a brand called Darlin. I'm not actually sure if I'd be able to work that in with any of the clothing I own, but if I ever do find something that works I'll certainly be using it!! This choker was mainly to go with other non-lolita clothing I own~
