Wardrobe Post

Finally! I actually dragged things out of my closest and took pictures. The lighting in my room is rather unfortunate, especially at night. But I did my best.
This is more or less all of my strictly lolita dresses that I have amassed over the past three years. I have some dresses from Hell Bunny and other goth/retro shops (and of course my casual wardrobe of plain goth-y clothing) but for this post I just left them out.

Let's start with burando~

I used to have more up until recently when I sold a good bit off for money reasons. Honestly. I don't regret it, as I usually don't wear my brand for everyday coords and hadn't worn some of it for nearly a year. I kept my favorites, which are...

Angelic Pretty- Red Velvet JSK(I can't find the proper name, it's an older JSK)

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright- "Velour Tiered JSK", "Marcia" Velour OP, "Mille-Fleur" JSK

MAM Maxicimam- "Royal Rose" JSK

Alice and the Pirates- "Trick Hat, Pricked Heart", "Beauty and the Rose Promise", "Vampire Forest"

I own one indie-brand item, this beautiful print skirt from Morrigan NYC, based on Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.

I don't own much in the way of brand accessories, just a few things. Here is my Chantilly headbow, Putumayo purse, and Alice and The Pirates cardigan and parasol.

And now onto the replicas (let's not turn this into a replica debate, y/y?)

I mostly own black colorway replicas of sweet prints, thanks to my new love of bittersweet.

Dream of Lolita- "Fantastic Dolly" in lavender and red, "Milky Berry", "Milky Planet

Oo Jia- "Dream Sky", "Silent Moon"

Bodyline- "Fruits Parlour"

I have an OP and a JSK from the taobao brand Surface Spell. The purple embroidery JSK is one of my favorite pieces. Purple, black, and bats <3

Aaaand onto the Bodyline. I shunned BL at first, prefering Fanplusfriend for my offbrand source, but over time Bodyline has only improved in quality and sizing. I don't think even I own any dresses from F+F anymore, just a few skirts and blouses.

So many black dresses!

Here are my F+F Skirts. I also own a few plain black skirts and underskirts but they're rather boring so I left them out. Same with my blouses- not much going on there.

I love these highwaisted bustle skirts. They're so flattering and versatile. I actually dyed the one to the far right, it used to be black/white.

Well, there it is, my current rori stockpile! I hope you all enjoyed a little bit of oversharing. I just got back from Otakon, so next up will be several outfit posts and picspam c:

21st Birthday Night Out

So I'm finally a full fledged adult it seems, as I just turned 21 on the 11th (I know that's not so impressive to those of you outside the US, haha). My friends helped me celebrate with an awesome night out. I went to my usual club for their old school goth night, Obscura. Everyone I knew there bought me a drink, including the DJ :)

OP: BtssB

Tiara and Choker: Midnighte Moon

After the club, we went to the diner and I got a tiny oreo cheesecake c:

Vampire Forest Photoshoot

 I have returned from my travels with quite a few new things, the most exciting of which is AatP's Vampire Forest "Elizabeth" OP in red! I wandered into BTSSB's San Francisco store, expecting to buy a parasol and some accessories, and tried it on out of curiosity. To my surprise, it fit! Fortunately, I'd been saving for the shopping I planned to do in California and was able to buy it. My experience at BTSSB SF was really wonderful, the shopgirl was very sweet and helpful. She even walked around the counter to hand me my bag, rather than hand it over the counter.
As soon as I got home, I coerced my boyfriend into taking photos. The print is lovely! So many coffins, bats, and black cats.
I also bought an Innocent World Classical Angel JSK, secondhand. I'm super excited for it to arrive. In one week, I've gone from no brand to two pieces, haha...
