Lolita Wardrobe Post 2015

Last year I was super late with this, so I vowed to at least try to get it done in Jan...& looks like I'll just make it ;)

Anyways, it's time for the highly anticipated Lolita Wardrobe Post ^_^

My style's still Classic w/ some sweet, but I had some surprising recent purchases near the end of last year and of course I did a lot of selling & buying, so just for fun, feel free to check out my last year Wardrobe post to compare ^^

And finally, we're at the end...BUT FIRST! When I started working on my post, I didn't have some pieces...but then they all came at once, so here they are XD

 WISH LIST ITEM!! I'm sooo picky with JetJ b/c I don't feel like the prints match me...but when I saw pics of Cartes du Lapin...I needed it ^_^

of course...my search & goal of getting is was a little rough...

After missing out on a listing on CC, I randomly came across someone selling one & after finding out the measurements, I got it...BUT...the seller failed to mention(i failed to check) the number size...& when I got the dress, it was size 1 O_O 

I was sooo sad...if I knew it was size 1, I wouldn't have gotten it...but they gave me the measurements for the size 2...yeah, there's no way...it's a HUGE difference by a few inches...so anyways, I remembered someone wanted to trade their size 1 for a size 2, so I quickly messaged them...but then they told me that they had found a size 1 and was only selling the size 2...

So, discouraged again, I just decided to sell my size 1 and wait & see if I find the size 2 again...

but then...to my surprise the owner of the size 2 messaged me & asked if I was still interested in the dress...so of course I said yes...& I had sold my size 1, but then i was bad & did more shopping...so I asked for a payment plan & luckily they said yes...and so...after a few payments and trying to resist any & all temptation...I finally paid it off before the end of last year & since it was coming from Russia...about a month or maybe more later...it's FINALLY MINE!! I haven't even tried it on, but I had a size 2 JetJ piece before, so i'm pretty sure it'll fit XD

 AP Loyalty socks (bought for a coord i'm working on)

And then once again I was drawn by an AP print...the Mercator Antique Shop series ^_^

When it first showed up, I didn't go crazy over it...but then when I saw the LP version, I really liked the teal...and then...the sales started showing up and this skirt went on sale...& i INSTANTLY came up with an amazing coord idea for it...so...I gave it & got it XD 

 Then speaking of sales, IW had theirs shortly after...sigh...and even though i knew it'd be bad, I gave in & looked through it...and then...All the IW x Rozen Maiden items were on sale O_O

As you can tell throughout my wardrobe...I am a sucker for collab items...and so I gave in again ;)

I'm actually not a fan of Kanariya from Rozen Maiden...but I LOVED her pieces best & I had the headdress on my wishlist for a while...but then this amazing sale allowed me to get the beautiful bolero too & I already have a coord in mind for it ^_^

 Well, I'm waiting for One more item...it's shoes...but...I'm kind of keeping it a surprise until I get it...and then do an Epic coord with it ;D

I'm actually pretty satisfied with my wardrobe now and if anything, I wouldn't mind a few more versatile kodona pieces & maybe a nice solid black or white piece...but of course, I'm going to Japan in the summer & I may just give in to wishlist items &/or teddy bear prints...my weakness...

Anyways, sorry it was so intense & pic heavy, but I really wanted to get nice pics of my pieces, showing all the details ^^ Next year i might put more pieces together...this was hard...but fun...ah, the life of a Lolita ^^
