Lolita Wardrobe Post 2021

 Whew! Another year, another wardrobe post! Though, ahem, confession time: I thought I'd only missed one year of posting...turns out it was two! I mean, it's a lot of work so I know why I missed it but I do regret that I did. 

But enough dwelling on the past! This year, I mustered up the will to do my wardrobe post again and I'm really happy with it so here we go ^__^

Jumperskirts

Lyris Design
Innocent World Classical Bustle

While lately I’ve been tending towards sweet lolita, brown classic pieces are just so beautiful to me. The Lyris JSK was a present from James, and made custom for me, and the IW dress is just a perennial classic. 

Innocent World Princess Rose

Dim Light is as close to a dream dress as I’ve ever had - I’ve adored it since it came out and bought it full-price on the re-release. It’s such a gorgeous piece, and I love the fabric of it, and the print, and everything!. The IW dress is also gorgeous, though in a very different way. And if the proportions look off, don’t worry, I modified the straps to be longer but it looks a bit funny laid out like this!

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Tartan Check

These two look a bit odd side by side, but they are both favourite pieces of mine that I love to wear!  

Bodyline L174
Bodyline L417

The brown floral is a piece that I identify really strongly with - I’ve had it for ages and it just feels so me.

Bodyline L003

As you can tell, I’ve got a bit of a thing for floral prints, and Rose Stripe Shirring in particular is an absolute favourite.

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Shirring Princess
Bodyline L348

Shirring Princess is a piece that I always loved, but 2020 made me really love it, you know?

Lyris Design

Last but not least in the JSKs is my wedding dress. Since I had an odd number of JSKs I had to pick one to be photographed solo and figured that I may as well make it my wedding dress, and I may as well show you the whole wedding look together (at least, the items I had made, sans veil)! I’m still astounded by how gorgeous this dress, and this whole look, is. I’m so happy we chose re-wearable items for our wedding looks, it was very much the right decision!

Onepieces

Metamorphose temps de fille Egg Art

Two Meta cuties, both easy to wear and lots of fun. I will admit, I am falling out of love with Berry Stripe a little bit these days - not entirely sure why!

Lady Sloth Verrry Berry Picnic
Metamorphose temps de fille Blooming Garden

I loved adding more colours to my wardrobe recently! These are both lovely prints, though I am considering selling VBP or modifying it since the neckline is too wide for me and my bra straps are always on show when I wear it.

Bodyline L323
Bodyline L479

More florals, is anyone surprised?

Skirts

Bodyline L303
Handmade

Two of my favourite skirts! My handmade cherry skirt is actually probably my most worn main piece since it’s so easy to dress up or down.

Bodyline L247
Metamorphose temps de fille Patisserie Dream

Patisserie Dream is totally the best. It’s another thing I’d have called a “dream dress” if I have such things. The macaron skirt was given to me by a friend - James and I actually gave it to her years and years ago but as time went by she decided she wasn’t going to wear it and gave it to me. Which was great, because I love it!

Enchantlic Enchantilly Queen Cat
Bodyline L353

James spotted Queen Cat in Closet Child Harajuku so of course, I had to get it!

Victorian Maiden Unknown
Handmade

Sometimes simple is best, and I have to say the VM skirt gets a lot of wear when I have to be a little more normie-appropriate. 

Wonderpunk Jurassic Party 
Metamorphose temps de fille Flower Bottle 

The colourful ones! While Jurassic Party isn’t really my thing, I’ll keep it forever since we made it. And Flower Bottle has just wormed its way deeper and deeper into my heart as time goes on - I wouldn’t part with it now!

So that's my wardrobe as it currently stands, and I think this is the most thorough job I've ever done of photographing it. You can view the last wardrobe post I did here.

I'm also planning to post an artsy highlights video on my YouTube channel, but didn't want to delay posting this to wait for it so I'll post about that separately once it's up. Or, you know, you could totally subscribe *wink*

Did you do a wardrobe post this year! If so, drop a link in the comments, I'd love to see it ^__^
