Lolita 52 Challenge: Week 20

~ How satisfied I am with my current wardrobe ~

I feel like I've answered this one before, but maybe it's just because I mention it in wardrobe posts and the like!


I love all the pieces that I own, so much so that I find it impossible to part with things even if I'm unlikely to ever wear them. I have pieces that match nothing else I have, a bunch of really unflattering salopettes, and all of my blouses are tatty and need to be replaced with chiffon ones. I also want to branch out into more classic styles as they would be much more wearable...I don't feel comfortable in pastels at all at the moment, which is unfortunate since my wardrobe is most OTT sweet prints!

So while I love the things I have individually, they need work to become a cohesive and useful wardrobe as a whole.

Lolita Blog Carnival: A Peek Inside Your Closet

After seeing Monika's latest entry over at Lace Teapot, I decided that I would like to be part of the Lolita Blog Carnival too! Basically it's a group of lolita bloggers who decide on topics to all write about to inspire and promote each other! I wanted to join so I can try to get my lolita mojo back.


The topic this week is 'A Peek Inside Your Closet'. Now I'll be honest, mine is a disorganised mess at the moment. Actually, a bunch of my stuff is on my floordrobe, and even more is stuffed in the spare room! I'm intending to use January's annual wardrobe post theme on EGL as an excuse to organise my stuff and maybe sort out some things to sell.


Here's my closet! It's currently organised by piece type, brand, and print/non-print. This might change when I reorganise it, but I don't really know what the best way to do it is really! Maybe by colour?

I guess I'll just pull out a couple pieces to spotlight today! I'll pick out some pieces I've never worn in the hope of inspiring myself to wear them.


First up, Tea Time Á La Carte salopette by Angelic Pretty! I just bought a set for the sake of it and wasn't overly fond of the print. I had also wanted it in black, not pink. The print has grown on me now though, I love the silvery cutlery and mint donuts! But salopettes are awkward to coord. This one can be used as just a skirt though, so I guess I should work on coording it finally. It's so short though!


This is Royal Tailor, also by Angelic Pretty. I got it in a lucky pack back in summer, and while I love this piece I'd much rather have one of the other colourways! The colour is really vibrant so I just don't know how to coord it, and I'm not sure how halters work with blouses.


The details are so gorgeous though! I've always loved these kinds of bodices. The fabrics are to die for too, gorgeous rich velveteen and satin.


Lastly, Usakumya-chan's Stylish Sweet Time by BTSSB. This was an impulse buy a while back, but it's L size and really really long. I've never even tried it on! I really ought to as it's nice and simple, one of my favourite colours, and I love the rose lace, scallops, and little pops of mint in the print.

~ 10 facts about my Lolita wardrobe ~

1. Most of my main pieces are brand, whereas my accessories and lesser pieces have a much higher percentage of offbrand.
2. The most prevalent colour is pink.
3. The sole fell off of my favourite shoes - a pair of pink Angelic Pretty tea parties! I have to wear my Antaina replicas now.
4. My clothes are actually spread between 2 wardrobes, some drawers, and a ton of boxes that are in the loft as I have far too much stuff.
5. I use items from it once a month at most D=
6. I have far too many pieces that I haven't had an opportunity to wear yet!
7. I have several print doubles (Sugary Carnival, Jewelry Jelly, Lyrical Party).
8. My favourite brand piece is my Angelic Pretty Sugary Carival skirt in black.
9. My favourite offbrand piece is my Bodyline Fruits Parlor replica...that I bought before I realised it was a replica.
10. I don't think I own anything non-sweet!

I delayed posting this as I had planned to add photos, but I'm too lazy right now (^_^')
