Right on brand, this year I also didn't plan on doing a wardrobe post - yet here I am again. I figured that last year's was good, so let's reuse it and photograph my additions only. Besides, I have used last year's post so much when planning outfits that I know it will be worth the effort.
Despite saying last year that I'd get more red pieces, I ended up adding more blue, white/ivory plus a few oddballs. I also tried out two styles I never thought I'd do: gothic lolita and ouji.
2018 was absolutely amazing. It kicked off with getting my ultimate dream dress, which I never thought I'd get or even fit, then only improved as I attended three large lolita events, two of which were abroad.
My wardrobe goal for 2019 is to get rid of some bits (links to LM where appropriate, check those out for more details), replace others with better versions and finally add more red main pieces. Probably still won't happen, just watch me go on a blue and white impulse buy splurge when I go to Japan.
As always, if you want to know where something is from or which design it is (if I haven't listed that), just ask. Thumb image is by Mimi Jamora.
2016, 2017 and 2018 wardrobe posts for the very curious, but be warned that the quality of photography declines the further back you go.
Metamorphose Polka Dot Shirring Pinafore JSK.
Got this for a bargain price and it's amazing for casual wear!
Baroque Repose of Queen Teatime Dress set with overskirt (not pictured).
I have very fond memories modelling this at Dream Masquerade Carnival shortly after my own set arrived.
Angelic Pretty British Crown OP.
The measurements on this lie, there's no way it could fit as much chest as it claims to!

Currently selling, will also trade.
Angelic Pretty Fantasy Theater Gilet JSK.
First piece I bought directly from brand in the Kanazawa branch.
Alice and the Pirates Rosier Fleur JSK.
I'm not sure whether it's the original or the re-release, though I feel like it might be the original. Either way, it's a stunning piece!
Bodyline L380 skirt.
Bought this to use as an underskirt, but it's lovely on its own.
Metamorphose Sailor Tiered skirt.
This gets far more wear for work than in Lolita coords.
Magic Tea Party Bears Paradise skirt.
Such a cute, yet unassuming piece thanks to the neutral colours and simple cut.
Innocent World Georges Rose JSK.
Promise I ironed it, it just wrinkles like crazy. It's a great fancy, but still sort of blending in kind of piece.
Angelic Pretty Royal Unicorn Switching JSK.
That gobelin fabric is the most gorgeous thing ever. And I love all the pops of sax on this colourway!
King Eleven A Mad Tea-Party JSK (also known as Miss Tea's Delicate Life [?]).
The top and straps were meant to be the same colour as the sash, but somehow in production they changed it?
Angelic Pretty Sweet Cream House Collar JSK (2012-release).
It's such a boob-squisher, and yet I love how flattering this cut is on me!
Innocent World White W Blade Tuck skirt (long).
Technically this probably isn't really lolita. I love this skirt nonetheless and really like Innocent World White's designs.
Innocent World Strawberry Tarte OP.
Got this in a lucky pack last year and I'm still surprised how much I love it, despite the high waist cut. It's so comfy and summery!
Bodyline L262 (altered).
The very first Lolita dress I ever bought and I still love it. It's a very versatile piece.
HeartE tartan JSK.
I don't know the official name of it. This piece is one of my most comfortable and I'm sad to have gotten into HeartE just before they closed.
Alice and the Pirates Sheherazade ~ One Thousand and One Nights ~ JSK I.
Another one where I find the cut extremely flattering on me. More of this kind of cuts, please!
BtSSB Full of Stars "Bright Starry Night" JSK I.
This JSK was a painful lesson in customs in the UK. I love it despite its unpleasant history.
Lady Sloth Winter Spices skirt.
This is the closest I envision myself getting to seasonal prints. Love it to bits, it's the best!
Angelic Pretty Diner Doll JSK.
The only mint piece in my collection, although it is a bluish mint.
BtSSB Sugar Bouquet Shirring Princess JSK.
This one, on the other hand, claims to be sax, but it's a minty shade. Argh! But a great deal on WW, arrived with tags for supposedly C-condition.
Innocent World Revival Sweet Teddybear JSK.
A long-standing dream dress that's finally mine. I love IW's simple take on Sweet Lolita!
Haenuli Lovely Memories JSK.
That lace is everything! I absolutely love this dress and feel so elegant in it.
Metamorphose Shirring Tiered Ribbon JSK.
Lord, the skirt on this one never ends, which is painfuly obvious when ironing!
Bodyline L249 JSK.
Second Lolita dress I ever bought and while I still adore it, I now feel like it's a bit too short.
Lady Sloth/Casual Sloth Look at My Dreamy Sky - Day OP.
Although it's from the casual range, it still works with Lolita. Shame I received it just as it started to get cold, can't wait to wear it again.
Haenuli Whipped Cream Kitty JSK.
I got this one as a present from my boyfriend for graduating with a 2:1. It has a matching waist ribbon, but I couldn't be bother to dig it out just for the photo.
BtSSB Secret AIR MAIL from Sweet Kitty JSK.
Probably my favourite print from Baby, the kitties are adorable.
Angelic Pretty Crystal Dream Carnival Tiered JSK.
This was an instant dream dress, but the damn thing appeared just after I spent all my savings on Fantasy Theater. I was lucky to get it later without seling a kidney.
Song and Temple Fairy Tale Library skirt.
This is also a piece that I wear a lot to work. The print always gets noticed and complimented a lot.
Mary Magdalene Paulina JSK.
My namesake and ultimate dream dress. You can pry that from my cold, dead fingers, I ain't never getting rid of this!
Resailan Jewelry Box JSK I (altered).
I love this print, but the original cut wasn't for me, so I had it altered. Now I love it even more and can't wait to wear it more.
Metamorphose Wizarding Lesson ~ The Trainee Wizard ~ pants.
My first and only pair of ouji shorts. Meta wins the game with so many detachable pieces.
After Midnight The First Semester JSK.
This cut is the best: super comfy and super flattering. Definitely want more green in my wardrobe - and more underbust (or near underbust) cuts!

My only black and only gothic piece (despite the very sweet name). Excuse the heavy editing, I wanted to showcase some of that flocked detail. The gold specks is actually glitter.

These are the only things I have coming right now. The blouse is Lady Sloth and is on pre-order (standard) and Angelic Pretty's Cinema Doll JSK is a MTO, so it's not due to arrive until summer. Stock photos, I do not own.
Ahhh I love your wardrobe! So many pretties and I love your brooch ribbon - that's such a sensible idea. If my collection grows at all I may have to do something similar!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. ^^ Such a shame that I can't actually hang the ribbon anywhere, it's way too long. If I can't find space for multiple shorter ribbons, I will have to rethink the whole idea and find someplace else to store my brooches. And I bought two more since that picture was taken, oops!
DeleteYour wardrobe is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much ^^
DeleteI took your idea with using ribbon to hanging up brooches inside my closet.
ReplyDeleteI like the direction you have taken with getting more neutrals as mainpieces.
A ribbon is a great way to display things and use some of that vertical space. I also store all my hair clips and barettes on a ribbon, which works really well, as then I'm not forgetting those little bows etc.
DeleteAnd getting more neutrals allowed me to wear lolita more. Definitely want a couple more, especially OPs, so that I could allow myself some lazy days, but even now I can see the difference.
Wow what a nice wardrobe! So many colorful blouses and all those OTKs *.*
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! ^_^ At one point I decided that I have too many white/ivory blouses that will go with everything and need to invest in some colour to spice up my outfits. And since I like matching my socks to my blouse, my love for OTKs developed :P
