~Building my classic wardrobe II: colors! ~

I got/ ordered quite a lot of classic item, so I decided to make an article about it~
Hopefully I'll post outfits with all that soon!

Victorian Maiden's swallowtail short coat

 

 It fits perfectly, and the fabric is incredibly soft and warm <3 And the most important: it looks good with most of my wardrobe!

Innocent World's Triple stripes skirt

I needed some bordeaux/wine in my wardrobe~ I love the striped fabric!
This skirt is great for casual and "normal" lolita~

+++

I'm trying to incorporate some brown in my wardrobe.
Brown has grown on me these last months, but I didn't know how to wear it, with which color it would look best...

 And I finally found the perfect dress to start:

I actually have the same dress (with a floral fabric), so I know I'll love it.

And I also found matching item for a first coordination:

Innocent World's Millefeuille bolero

Innocent World's infamous Violin tote bag (it comes with this mook)

 I hesitated a lot before finally getting it. But since I want to wear brown now, I have no reason not to get it !

I don't own the blouse or the shoes, so I won't be able to wear this exact coordination ç_ç

I'll now need some brown/ivory shoes, coat and accessories...

And maybe later I'll even try brown x light pink coordinations~?

Bruges

I went to Bruges with a friend last saturday. I didn't expect anything from this trip, but I felt in love with this beautiful town!

Everything there was perfect, from the buildings to the scenery~

First, this is what I wore. I wanted a simple outfit, with a fairytale feeling. I'm glad I finally managed to make a coordination with these socks!

Lolita Blog Carnival: 3 Things you'd tell your beginner lolita self (Looking back)

Again, a nostalgic LBC's theme~

1- Be more patient
*Do not buy GLB, buy lolita! In my town, there was a bookshop where I could buy GLB, and...I basicaly spent most of my allowance there. And has much as I am now proud of my collection, I realize that I should have save up to buy more lolita clothes...

*Take your time to finish your handmade clothes!
I always rushed the last steps of my sewings projects, not taking time to properly hem them etc...Making them almost improper to wear.

2- Do not buy this Baby pannier!!!
Buying this pannier was a honest mistake. I didn't speak english at the time, so I couldn't  check reviews online. A few months after Baby Paris opened, I bought their Tulle pannier (it was 100€!!! T_T It was incredibly expensive for me then.) It lasted ~1 month. I SPENT 100€ FOR A PANNIER THAT LASTED ONE MONTH. I'm still angry when I think about it...
At least now, I am very careful with the panniers I buy~

3- You too, will have a wardrobe full of lolita. I waited a long time for brand .I bought my first brand clothes in (late) 2007. I knew about lolita around 2004~2005...Maybe if I had bought clothes instead of GLB....

Lolita Blog Carnival : Your most prized lolita piece

The most precious item in my wardrobe is Moi-même-Moitié's Velvet Candelabra Lace onepiece, in royal blue.

I saw it for the first time in the GLB 16. It was the first GLB I bought, and I just discovered lolita at that time.The girl wearing it in red truly looked like a doll, I admired her a lot. It was around 2005.

Wine red and black versions. Both photos come from the GLB 16

And suddenly, the dress appeared on the sales comm, IN ROYAL BLUE. Blue and velvet was the best combination for me. The dress I loved so badly existed in a royal blue version, was made in velvet, and had  a gorgeous lace?! (I never saw any close up of the lace before that) It quickly became my dream dress, and I bought it immediatly. I was lucky enough to be the only person interested in it T^T

I wore it very rarely. It is really precious, and...a bit too short T_T

Even if I don't wear it and that its only purpose in my wardrobe is to be on my mannequin . I think I could never part with it. It is the most "lolita" item I own, the closer to the doll-like aesthetic.

♣ Introduction ♣

♣ Welcome to my new blog ♣

The other one were becoming a bit slow and I didn't felt like going on with it...
so I'm creating a new one!

I'm a french lolita. I've been lolita for 7 years now, and I mostly wear classic/gothic lolita. My style used to be more old school, but it doesn't match my lolita ideal anymore.
This september, I decided to only wear what I like, so I'm wearing lolita a lot since then~ 

My old-school self

I'll post my coordinations, as well as reviews ~ (indies brands, Taobao...) I'd like to create a useful blog, the kind of blog I like reading ^^

(I am fully aware that my english is far from perfect...I'll do my best~)
