Tiny wardrobe problems

Tiny wardrobe got you down? You have your inspiration but your inspiration but... so few clothes. Not to worry. There is a few ways to salvage it and make it look like you have a few new peices.

Sew - Sewing is cheap (depending on what your buying and where), it's fairly easy ( depending on what your doing), and it's fun. But lets just say you don't have the money to afford a ton of fabric to make that skirt. Well, instead, make some new waist ties to go with your skirt. Or a new head acessory.  You can pick cause it's your wardrobe.

Try on every single peice - That may be a weird way to make coords but it works. Put on colors that you wouldn't really put together. Tyr different combos of brands, socks, and even put a some other subculture twists on your style. Or even go over the top and raid your jewelry box for a crazy decora inspired look.

Thrift - When I go thrifting, I'm always looking out for weird but new things. I have a white pleated skirt that I plan on using for a school inspired lolita outfit. I just have to find some lace to put around the edge of the skirt. But you can find other cool stuff as well. Jewelry, fabric from sheets, and even cute accessories. There are even a few places that have items to lolify your living space.

Look at other coords - "But I don't have that dress/shoes/acessory/etc.." Yes you do. You just have to tweak what they do to fit with your wardrobe. Take this.

This picture is a simple coord. A skirt, a bluse, some shoes, socks, and a few accesories. Now your probably saying that you couldn't do it. Yes you can! You can make an outfit like that. "But I don't own a skirt." Turn you JSK or OP into one by wearing a jacket or blouse on the outside of it. "But I don't own those shoes" You don't need to. Just find a pair of simple shoes that you already wear for lolita and match them with your outfit. "I'm low on accesories" Well, so am I. But places like Claires and Icing usually have cute stuff for pretty cheap. You can also look at the craft or holiday sections in Dollar Stores. Some girls have found quite a few items in there.

So tell me, what has been your favorite thrifty find? Do you sew as well?

Until next time,

Ps. My order has been confirmed with Qutieland and will probably be in September :( I was hoping for it sooner. Oh well.

Pss. As stated in the last post, I don't steal. If you want it down, just let me know.

Lolita inspiration

As you know, when you write, you have to be in the moment of inspiration. But what inspires you?  Looking at other outfits or reading your favorite zine? I can tell you what inspires me though. Youtube. I'm not kidding. Youtube has some great , and not so great, videos of lolitas. Some are vlogs but most that I find are people who want to learn about the lolita fashion or little documentaries of the fashion itself.

IMF Local Feed series had a special webisode about lolita fashion where the host met Nana Kitade, a lolita herself. She was dressed in a punk lolita outfit with a bit of sweet charm. It was pretty cute in my opinion. She took him (and the viewers) on a store tour of Btssb's secret shop *insert awe here*. The host, whose name I cannot find, gets to talk to not only her but other lolitas who live and vist there as well. I've watched this video many times and I can't get over the fact on how amazing the store is!

RosieOs is youtuber and a blog spot blogger who frigging rules! Even though her blog mostly in spanish, she has a full english channel on youtube. She talks about lolita items in her wardrobe and the cuteness that she goes to. She went to Fantaisies Dans Le Monde Des Reves and you might have seen her there. Check her out cause she is an AP girl and is here to rock your world.

Shelby Cloud is this sweet vlogger who talks about all the lolita issues from coordinating your outfits to self esteem. It seems that she's like all the bloggers except she uses her voice instead of typing out words. She's very lovely and I'd kill to have that wardrobe.

The last three are documentaries about the fashion itself. This one is about the girls who wear the fashion as is this one as well. They both showcase lolitas in a positvie light and setting. The girls are sweet and polite, they use what little on screen time they have to their advantage and their outfits are soooooo cute! :3 Frilly in the City is also a cute little documentary about lolita fashion that is totally worth watching.

So take some time and watch some videos. You'll see something you'll like.
Until next time,
