CREATING MY "DREAM CLOSET" ^^

One thing I recently got into is Buying & Selling Lolita items ;)
At first, it was only old prints that I wore a bunch of times, but didn't think matched me well :/

But lately, I've been selling items that I haven't even worn :(  & the main reason is:
IMPULSE BUYS O_O  

Also, a few problems have come up recently...

Problem 1: I became full time & could actually afford Brand items...So, what did i do? I perused the egl comm sales every day & bought tons of items that I haven't even worn out...

Problem 2: My new full time job has a "bad" benefit...Food is waaay too accessible XP  I was eating a lot more & sitting on my butt most of the day, so...i sadly gained weight...which is another reason I had to start selling items...

But, mainly, I began to really think about what style I like best & now i'm trying to  create a sort of "Dream Closet" ^_^  This, will probably change as the brands come out with more & more new prints...But, I think, after my latest purchases, I should be pretty satisfied with my collection ;D

Following my last wardrobe post I did in Feb, there have been A LOT of changes: 
-I've sold A LOT of my Bodyline items, keeping only a select few as favorites or for future photoshoots ;)  I've also kept all my Bodyline blouses b/c they're really good for making coords ^^

-My BTSSB/AATP collection has GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY!! 
Including Bonnets, blouses & boleros... 
 AATP Victorian Card Print
 BTSSB Alice in Funfair
AATP Hymn Skirt...this is a super dream item, so I was happy to get it XD

-I have upped some other brand items, adding another Teddy bear IW jsk...& my very first AP print, which is a salopette...an ETC skirt AND since Atelier Pierrot came to our local convention...I ended up getting an OP and a blouse...it's so much more tempting when you can touch the dresses & look at all the details...you REALLY see the quality XD  I also purchased a Replica print jsk & even though there's some conflict about that, I really like my replica jsk...i also think the quality is really good XD
IW Museum Bear Long jsk
 AP Ala Carte Tea Party Salopette

ETC Cream Logo skirt
Atelier Pierrot OP w/ detachable collar...the Designer was there to help sell & she instantly persuaded me when she said the collar was detachable ;)  It's such a unique design also, so I snagged it before anyone else saw it XD Definitely gonna be one of my faves ^_^

-My Lolita bag collection has grown as well...ESPECIALLY...odd-shaped bags ^_^
I aquired a Book shaped bag(finally), a tent bag, coffin purse, bow bag & even some printed totes XD


-I have an OVER ABUNDANCE of Lolita socks & tights now...including a pair of Verum ones & some offbrand Cherub printed & tattoo tights ;)


And LASTLY, i'm ALWAYS collecting more & more h.Naoto items...it's just perfect for casual wear & the prints are sooo pretty ^^

 The funny story with this dress is it originally belonged to my friend...& then she sold it to someone else...& then i bought it from that person ;)  And the thing was she always thought i'd match the dress...so in the end, it went to it's rightful owner...perhaps ;D

Anyways, NOW! I've been concentrating on adding some color & more classic prints into my collection...I've been rather drawn to various Religious prints lately & I'm waiting for a JetJ dress as well as an MMM one...which will both be firsts for me...brand-wise...they're the more expensive ones, but totally worth it, so I'm splurging a bit to get them XP

And, I'm always looking for additional items to help complete a coord...shoes, jewelry, hair accessories, i even got my first pair of bloomers, so i'm excited to try them out ^^

Plus, I'm STILL selling a bunch of items to help make space, so hopefully when everything's complete...i shall do another wardrobe post ;D
