Sage_blossom's Wardrobe Post 2016!

[sage_blossom]

Hi everyone! Longtime lurker, first-time wardrobe poster here; I've been in the fashion for about 2 1/2 years, but until recently my wardrobe was sparse and seriously all over the place (not exactly worth posting).  I've been working this past year towards making it a lot more cohesive and versatile though, and I'm pretty happy with how it's coming together!


First up, main pieces! It's pretty obvious that I favour skirts, isn't it?



Here we've got:
Infanta - Snow White Corset Skirt
AP - Sweetie Chandelier Skirt
Bodyline - Classic Tiered Frill Skirt (L218)
Handmade - Blue Floral Skirt
----------



Infanta - Black Sugary Tea Vest JSK (this was babby's first lolita purchase, i haven't the heart to sell it even now)
Handmade - Derpy Chan Skirt
Bodyline - Cherry Blossom Tiered JSK (L322)
-----



Bodyline - High Waist Corseted Bustle Skirt (L325)
Bodyline - Bouquet High Waist Corset Skirt (L353)
IW - Crown Embroidered Skirt
Bodyline - Magical Cosmetics Skirt (L372)

Next up, Blouses/Cutsews!


Left to Right: Infanta, MM, Offbrand and Axes Femme

The MM blouse was actually one of the first items I discovered that got me into lolita, and it was a dream item of mine from the start.  Nearly fainted when a kind anon on /cgl/ offered to sell theirs to me last year; suffice to say it has gotten a lot of use since then.

Left to Right:  Forever 21, Ank Rouge, Japanese offbrand, Taobao
Warm cutsews and overwear are a must for Canadian winters; got a few more colours coming in in a Taobao order soon!

Cardigans


Clockwise from top left: Bodyline, AP, DreamV, H&M, H&M, Physical Drop, Taobao

Bags/Purses


My poor 3-way Liz Lisa bag is on it's last legs, after copious use and recently being the victim of a robbery (security found it partially emptied and tossed away nearby by the thief; at least i got it back intact)...I swear it was bright white once upon a time!
A little bummed that the cute lavender purse I ordered a while ago is still lost in the mail somewhere too, would've loved to include it.

Accessories/Jewelry




Here's an assortment of some of my most used items.  (I've got a weakness for floral accessories.) Everything here is a mismash of Bodyline, Taobao, Infanta and Handmade!

Another mishmash of assorted offbrand/taobao items; many more not pictured, due to being in the wash or not photographing well.  Have I mentioned I have an addiction to fleece lined tights? I think I'm up to about 8 pairs last I checked.  Hoping to start stocking up on print tights, otks, etc this year instead of just so many solid colour textured/patterned ones.

Well that's about it for this year: hopefully by next year it will have grown and evolved even more! Hoping to get some more interesting tops and legwear, as well as a couple wishlist items if all goes well (and a better camera/backdrop; this was certainly not as easy as expected, armed only with a cellphone camera), as well as officially joining and becoming more active in my local comm. I'd love to hear any suggestions you all have, wardrobe-wise!

I'll leave leave you all with a few of my favourite coords from the past year (well, those I remembered to actually photograph). I usually post my coords over on my tumblr, but beware, that way be video games, cosplay and a lot of cats too.



Thanks for reading, and see you all next year! I've been having a blast peeking at all your wardrobes throughout the past few days and I'm excited to see what else crops up!
