RoyallyBlah's Wardrobe 2016

[royallyblah]

This will be my fourth wardrobe post here. Previous ones: 2015, 2014, 2013.
I can't believe it's already my fourth year doing this! It's interesting to see the progression for sure.
The following does not include things that I have, but am selling.

This year I haven't added a lot, choosing to focus more on collecting secondary pieces and accessories than main pieces, but there are still a few new things to see, so let's start!
Disclaimer: apologies for some horribly wrinkled clothes and some instances of weird lighting/editing. I decided to be a tad lazy this year since I almost forgot it was wardrobe month!

Bonus:



A couple of new really handy storage additions I thought I would share
Left: A small bucket from IKEA which I use to store numerous detachable bows, bigger hair accessories and pins
Right: Little jewelery drawers that I got from my local cheapskate variety store (KMart) to store smaller things like little pins, hair clips and rings



Here is a photo I took earlier in the year. This is about the closest thing I have to a matching collection! I managed to collect 4 different items from Angelic Pretty's Polkadot Chocolate series - all are second hand, each from a different person. I haven't worn them all together yet, hopefully I'll get a chance soon.

That's it for my wardrobe post for 2016!
Only just snuck in there this year.

My goals from last year:
- More lavender: I made a bow but still not much more purple! I will add this again for this year
- Different blouses and boleros: I added a couple more interesting blouses to my collection this year, I would still like to have something red or brown though
- More accessories that go well with my dresses: Is it even possible to have enough accessories?? I think I did aquire a few good, versatile new things this year

Goals for the next year:
- More lavender: possibly a bow, blose and non-print dress
- More colourful things in general: I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of black and white, need to add some more interesting things to the mix
- Purge out some less used items
- Possibly another sack-dress, since they suit my body type (and are extremely comfortable)
- More larger statement accessories (such as pins, large necklaces)
- More varied blouses/boleros: as above, brown or red might be nice

I'm going to Tokyo in March so hopefully I can acheive some of these goals then.

As always, thanks for taking a look. I hope you enjoyed it :)
I'd be happy to answer any questions or accept any advice if you notice there's something missing or there's something I could possibly do to boost my wardrobe.
