Well, it's been a WHILE since I last did an LBC post...but...things were a bit crazy & work takes up ALL of my Time nowadays...but...I felt like this particular theme was important for me...Especially, since I tend to "impulse buy" or "buy too much"...so I'd like to be better in 2014 ^^
Basically, I spent the year hunting down/finding & acquiring a lot of Main Pieces that were on my wishlist, SO! I'd like to focus on getting Accessories & other Coord pieces to go with my main pieces...here's a short list of what i'll hopefully be looking for ;)
1) Find more Hair pieces!!
A big problem for me is I wait till the last minute to put together an outfit for an event...& the last thing I end up deciding on is my hair accessory. ;) I've managed to get a few basic ones, like a couple rectangle headdresses, some hairclips & bonnets...but...they don't go with everything...so, sometimes i've actually Made My Own a day or 2 before an outing...which isn't very good & I can't really do it too often due to work...
But, here are some ideas of what i'll be looking for:
Round headdresses/Canotiers: I really need some of these...I made one once, but like I said, I don't have as much time as I used to...
And headdresses with Veils ;) I really adore this style & would love to find a nice one to match most of my pieces...for that classic feel ^^
And also just headbands in general with flowers or beads...maybe I can try to make at least one on my own, but I'd LOVE to own some brand pieces ;)
Other items would be the side headbows (i don't match the alice style) & berets & hats ;D
Lately, berets have been my go-to for accessories, so i'd like to get some nice brand ones...although, offbrand works just as well ^^
2) More Lolita Style Shoes XDD
I already have a good pair of Rocking Horse shoes, some boots & some heels, but, sometimes i'll default to flats just b/c there'll be a lot of walking or...my lolita shoes don't match my outfit...
So! I'd really like to get more Colored Lolita shoes, like my gold boots that i've been wearing a lot ;)
Tea Party Shoes ^_^ At first, I didn't like these, but then after attempting to walk around with my oxfords...i now see the appeal of having some flatter cute lolita shoes to walk in & match all my outfits too ^^ Not sure what colors I'd want...yet...but probably black first & then maybe a mint or lavender ;)
Bordello Boots!! My friend has the black ones, but i WANT either Red or Purple...I actually have a lot of red in my wardrobe so that would match perfectly...but purple's my favorite color & would match more of my gothic lolita items, particularly h.Naoto Honey ;D
And then, some specific Lolita shoes I'm after:
AATP Circus shoes: I know everyone was selling them, but they never had the size/color I wanted...but I'd like either White or Navy ;)
IW Playing Cards Chocolate shoes: These would be to match all my chocolate prints that I've been getting ^^
And then...These Crown Shoes!! I've been in love with them ever since I saw that GLB vol 4(US version) as well as the imported version (forgot which vol)
3) Kodona Items
I've been wanting to really try Kodona for a long time now...mainly influenced by Midori ;)
But a big problem of mine is that I don't fit a lot of the pants sadly...
I already have a bunch of nice ruffly blouses & vests, but some good Kodona pants allude me :/
I even have good wigs b/c I cosplay Ciel & might do a few more crossplays ^^
but...if not the actual brand items, maybe I can find or make something similar...
These are the styles I like:
I actually got to see this worn in person...by none other than Reika...so...I know the waist is SMALL O_O but I love the style of it anyways ;)
These SHOULD be able to fit me, so I just may give in & get them before it sells out...I kind of want them for a photoshoot idea with some friends as well ;)
Even this jumper set appeals to me sooo much...& that clock gives it the white rabbit vibe...i'm a HUGE fan of Alice in Wonderland items ;D
But THIS!! IS MY ULTIMATE DREAM Kodona outfit ^_^ The reserves for it was INSANE, but I managed to snag the hat and b/c as usual, the pants don't fit me...I'm hoping later this year, I can get the bolero...which is what i really wanted, but it sold out soo fast ;P
And last, but not least
4) BLOUSES!!
I've also managed to get a few brand blouses, mainly BABY & Atelier Pierrot, but a lot of my older bodyline ones are getting discolored...especially the detachable sleeves ones...so i'd like to find replacements for those...either brand or Bodyline ;)
And also, I'd like to find more colors as well...I've managed to just use some great Loliable ones from Goodwill, but some nice actual Lolita blouses would of course make the dresses look even better ^^
Brown
Navy
I LOVE bell or princess sleeves too ;)
And fun collars are always great ^^
Also, It'd be good to have more boleros or cardigans in case I don't want to wear a long sleeve blouse ;)
Of course there are a few exceptions, such as other items from my wishlist, which include bags, jewelry, SUPER DREAM PRINTS, & so on...
Also, I'm a HUGE sucker for anything Teddy Bear, so that might definitely grab my attention...and then the usual MUST HAVE PRINT releases, but i'll try to be really good & NOT impulse buy those... ;)
The dangers will always be sites like the FB & comm sales as well as Closet Child, which I check every time they update ;) But, I'm pretty satisfied with my wardrobe pieces for now & now i'd just like to add more...filler items to my coords ^_^
