Basic (Gothic) Lolita Closet

[deleciel]

Inspired by years of torture of having to write out outlines for English essays T_T

This is just made to help newer (and maybe not so new) lolitas build a versatile wardrobe and keep them less side tracked when shopping. Not everything in this list is required to complete a closet.

Whatever item that has the asterisk * beside it (in my opinion) are most important for beginners and seasoned lolita to own.

Some items such as shoes and headgear are usually open to suggestions (such as ballet flats rather than mary janes)
