Wardrobe Post

My poor blog has been quite neglected lately, which doesn't seem right since my blog's first anniversary is coming up!  This calls for more updates!

So I am recycling an egl theme post!  My wardrobe!

Over the years I've made a lot more things; but my style has changed quite a bit.  My current style is sweet and classic lolita with otome and Mori influences.  

I've included a bit more detail about where I got the "offbrand" pieces because I think it's interesting.

Both are from my brand Lily of the Valley.  Samples!  Neptune's Domain and Sweet Matryoshka

Two of my polka-dot dresses Handmade

Other Blouses: Handmade (I want to make more of these) and from an outlet

All thrifted except for the white puffed sleeve one, it's from an outlet store.

They don't look like much but I like these so much, they frame the top of a jsk bodice so well!  The green one isn't so very dark usually.  Outlet shop
