Gloves and Socks
I put gloves and wristcuffs with the socks because gloves are hand socks. I don't make the rules. That's just a fact.
Gloves: Aliexpress/Taobao
Wristcuffs: Angelic Pretty
Socks: Aliexpress, Metamorphose, Angelic Pretty, AatP, MmM, IW, Lockshop (seriously a long time ago there was a pre order for these tights and they wer called Rote Rose or something. Anyone else remember this? lol)
Innerwear
Malco Modes has solid quality pettis and currently a bunch of stuff is one sale GOGOGO! I have to layer them, but if you're relying on pettis alone, you'll have to layer no matter what... well maybe not with a Me Likes Tea poof monster... But other than that.
I got my Classical Puppets pettis in 2014 and I've never had any of the construction issues that people a year or so later complained about, so idk. They are still my go to pettis. I'll layer those with a MM petti for volume or wear the Classical Puppets petti over a cage skirt.
The cage skirts are SOOOOOO worth it. If you live in a hot climate, invest in one. The ones that Fan+Friend offers are adjustable, too. Don't worry about them being too big for a skirt. It just takes som fiddling to get it right. I always wear these with Perfume Bottle and Holy Lantern to get dat cupcake shape. They aren't really necessary for most A-line skirts, but you might still want one if it's hot and you don't want swamp petti.

Jewelry
Almost everything is offbrand. That wide bracelet was the one that I got from my great aunt that I thought I lost, but found in a shoe. lol Forever 21 has really great loliable jewelry just saying. I hit up their website every once in a while to see what they've got.
I've also got a Kate Spade bangle there.
The spoon necklace is from Taobao, the cross necklace is from Ank Rouge, and the rest is offbrand.
Parasol
Bad luck! I opened it indoors!
Shoes
I like where I am with shoes. I don't see myself getting more. I dont' have space anyway! (Like that'd stop me.)

Goals for 2018
I would like to get a more gothic style bag for coords with Royal Gate. The black bags that I have now dont' really go with it. Ideally Wunderwelt will have MmM rerelease their bat bag at a reasonable price. Cross your fingers!
I'd also like to get a black parasol for my Elizabeth ~Bride of Death~ coords. I feel like that'd be the best finishing touch and hearken back to her parasol shielding strategy for the papparazzi.
I would also like to get or make some aprons. Aprons are so cute and the element of layering while still being toned down appeals to me. I bought an assortment of patterns a year or so ago. I just need to get off my butt and make something.
MY GLOVES ARE SO BAD. I currently have some replacements in a Taobao Shopping Service cart from an actual lolita accessories store from which I have seen examples of their gloves in person. I think a few more wrist cuffs would be nice, too. Maybe I'll make those.
Finally, I would liek to finish the hat that I started making to match Fleur Antoinette. I ordered mulberry paper flowers and leaves and everything. I just need to dye some white lace to a more ecru shade with tea. Wish me luck!
I hope that you enjoyed my wardrobe post. It's crazy to think that in 2006 ish I was looking forlornly at pictures online, not entirely sure if such a girly fashion would suit me and definitely unable to buy any of it. I'm so glad that I finally just jumped in and did it because I've met so many cool people and done so many fun things as a result. Thank you for being a great community on the whole that has welcomed me warmly! Here's to being kawaii af in 2018 and beyond!
