EGL Wardrobe Challenge Day 13!

Hello again! I'm just a tad late after falling ill yesterday and then having issues with my camera!

Day 13: The Oddball

I have a few classic pieces scattered within my wardrobe, but I feel like my Rose Stained Glass JSK from Innocent World seems to stick out the most. Unfortunately I forgot to actually take detail photos of it, but it's a gorgeous piece! I'm so used to coordinating sweet stuff that I feel like I have yet to do this piece justice. I hope to change that in the future!

EGL Wardrobe Challenge- Day 12!

Hello again! Welcome back for day 12 of the challenge. I give you props if you've stuck around this long! 

Day 12: Your Craziest Hair Accessory

Pancake Beret! I made this guy in 2015 for a convention. I wore it paired with Honey Cake for a pancake themed coord! 

Unfortunately you can't really tell it's a pancake when viewing the rest of the coord, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Do you have a crazy headpiece laying around? What about an entire crazy-themed coord? Let me know what you think!

EGL Wardrobe Post- Day 11!

Hello and welcome to the return of my photos of frilly things!

Day 11: The Oldest Item You Own (By Year Released)

I bought this Babydoll JSK several years ago on Mbok. After hours of searching through Lolibrary and HelloLace, I was unable to find this particular colorway for the red version as they all had the red lace rather than white. I inquired about it on a Free For All thread on livejournal, and with the help of a couple sleuthing individuals and Way Back Machine, they deducted that it pre-dated 2001! 

I've had a few old-school pieces over the years, but this one has somehow managed to stay in the best condition (minus a couple little stains).

My favorite part of this piece is definitely the lace, It's so intricate! 

Do you have a dinosaur hiding in your closet? How old is your "oldest piece"? Let me know what you think!

Lolita Wardrobe Challenge Day 10!

It's officially a third of the way through the lolita wardrobe challenge! I hope everyone else is holding up well!

Day 10: Your Best Bargain Find

I think I managed to pay a total of $40 after fees and shipping for this baby off Yahoo Japan a while ago? I had been hunting for oldschool style pieces so it was certainly a happy find! This year, I'm hoping to sell off some of my prints, and stock up on a few simpler and easy to wear pieces!

There's a little bit of wear, being an older piece. It's still in dang good condition though!

Have you managed to snag a bargain for your closet? Do you check sales often for a good deal? Let me know what you think!

Wardrobe Challenge Day 9!

Hi again! I'm back with more frilly, wardrobe-y goodness as I move on to day 9 of the wardrobe challenge!

Day 9: Your Most Popular Color

Can you guess what my favorite color is? Pink is the most common color to pop up in my wardrobe, followed by Ivory (most of which also has pink on it anyway). Most of these pop up in other parts of the wardrobe challenge, so I'll save the detail shot for those pages. I also have twice as many pink blouses and cutsews as I do any other color as well!

On the opposite spectrum, my least favorite color in lolita is black. It may be because I'm mostly a sweet lolita, or because I tend to stray away from the color outside of the fashion as well. Most of the black items I've had have not lasted long after being introduced to my wardrobe.

Do you have any reoccurring color themes in your closet? Have any colors you dislike in lolita? Let me know what you think!

Wardrobe Post Day 8!

Hello! Another day, another challenge. I'm slowly working on my writing too as I always feel like I never know what to write for these things!

Day 8: Your Favorite Novelty Item

This is only a small portion of the novelty items I've collected over the years as I still haven't unpacking completely since moving. My very first piece was the gingham teacup set from Angelic Pretty! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think that would have to be it.

I also have a collection of posters and postcards that need to be hung up once we get around to settling in more.

Do you have a collection of novelty items? Do you had a favorite of them? Let me know what you think!

EGL Wardrobe Challenge- Day 7!

Howdy! It's a whole week into the new year and the wardrobe challenge now! 

Day 7: An Item You Could Never Sell

Unfortunately I only snagged one photo of this bad boy this time around. Basically anyone who knows me in person knows how long it took me to get this goddamn pancake bag purse. I managed to snag the Honey Cake OP the year it was released, and the JSK several years later. Throughout the years however, I tried auction and auction again to win the Honey Cake bag. A couple years ago, I finally managed to snag this from an auction on Yahoo Japan and to my surprise, it was still new with tags when it arrived! Due to the amount of time I spent looking over the years, I feel like I could never sell this bag!

Do you have a piece that you feel like you could never sell? Is there a piece you've hunted down forever? Let me know what you think!
