Lolita 52 - The item in my wardrobe that was the hardest to get

a relatively up to date wardrobe photo

Well, I have to say I've been pretty lucky with most things in my wardrobe. The majority of things have been purchased through brand sites, secondhand sites, auction sites, or even using an in-store shopping service with little trouble. I find the item, decide to buy it, and make it happen! However, sometimes things don't work out as planned...

Pastries and Antiques Meet!

A lovely teacup set I regretfully did not purchase...

This past weekend a few of my good local lolita friends and I went to a lovely french pastry shop and then browsed some nearby antique shops!

Lolita 52 - How long it took me to build a complete wardrobe

I have to say, this is something I've been thinking about an awful lot lately, especially as I'm putting together my EGL wardrobe post. I suppose it's different for everyone, based on specific needs and what your goal is. Naturally, someone who wears lolita only for cons and meets is going to need a lot less to pull together a functioning and complete wardrobe than someone whose goal is to wear it daily.

(I was going to head the post with a picture of my closet, then thought it best to save it for later!)

Lolita 52 - My wardrobe turnover

It's wardrobe theme month over at EGL, and the posts are coming in. As I've mentioned before, I am very excited about my forthcoming wardrobe post, but I've decided to wait until the last few things I have in the mail arrive! I'm going to go ahead and borrow that theme and gear this month's lolita 52 posts towards that topic.

To all my dear readers, I wish you the happiest of New Year's! May the year of 2015 bring you everything you hope for, and most importantly - lots of frills! Inspired by a friend's series of posts, I decided I'd take a look back at the past year - all the outfits and events I attended. 2014 was a great year, full of new additions to my wardrobe, lots of new friends, and amazing events.

Warning: This post is both picture and text heavy!

I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season so far, full of lots of lolita presents! As for me, I've yet to receive anything lolita related this year, but I definitely have in the past!

Lolita 52 - Why Don't I Wear Lolita More Often?

Why don't I wear lolita more often? While preparing for this post, I read some other posts on the matter, and many girls cited wardrobe size as a primary reason for not wearing it as often. Fortunately, this hasn't been the case as of late for me, but there are several other reasons I have in mind.
