This is my fourth year wearing lolita fashion. I sold many of my older pieces and some IW dresses that I wore many times, but on the other side I was able to do a lot of shopping after my first trip to Tokyo last June. I hope you'll like my pieces! They are ordered just as they are placed in my wardrobe, aka from the darkest to the lightest piece for the OPs and JSKs, and from the lightest to the darkest piece for the skirts. Since this year I started buying more and more otome items, I'll include them too in this post. Don't be scared if you see some strange stuff in between my lolita dresses!

Thank you so much for reading/looking at all my present lolita collection!
I'm still waiting for some more pieces that will be shipped out next February: the first one is another Peppermint Fox brooch (Galerie frame), for reminding me of my paleontology kid's dreams (though I always ended up studying ancient and classical stuff),
while the second one is a jsk with its matching brooch by the taobao shop Mi Song Temple. Its name is Fairy Tale Library (The Children's storybook), I loved it at first sight but I just had to buy it when I found out that in the print there is also The nightingale and the rose story by Wilde <3
I'll leave you know with a quick collage of my favourite 12 outfits from 2016, about one for each month. I posted more of them on my Instagram account biasdreams https://www.instagram.com/biasdreams/ I hope to have the chance to make more lolita outfits in 2017~
