The past few months have been an interesting experiment. This morning I went through all of my off-season clothes to set up my next wardrobe and it felt like I was getting a whole new wardrobe!
EGL/lolita Fashion Coords
Farmer’s market 
Lazy Saturday Gaming with Yeajow 
Bodyline JSK with a top that is too short and sheer to be considered a wardrobe acceptable top- oh and Hermès scarf! 
Hermès scarf coord detail 
Btssb jsk with aatp headdress and a too-short/sheer top made just for going under JSKs 
Work Looks
Repeat look but featuring replacement slacks
I swapped out the pants, they were so saggy in spots that should never sag in pants. 😳
Other Looks
I did try the big wrap skirt in a few other ways but it was not flattering. I think these skirts are excellent tools to help learn your body and what sillouettes flatters it.
What I learned
I learned the mini sari wrap skirts are not my cup of tea. It’s getting listed to sell. It’s time for the purple wrap skirt!
I also learned that I need to be pickier in choosing my blouses and life is simply easier with black blouses. The risk of my work shirt coming partially unbuttoned and a stain hitting a light colored shirt is too high.
I learned the soft silk is my favorite texture, and I will prioritize wearing that over everything else I picked for this both in and out of EGL, given the chance. Time to add some soft cutsews into my wardrobe, too.
I also ordered a slip because the wrap dress honestly needed it if I didn’t want to spend a small fortune on fabric tape to insure against a nip slip with some styles.
I learned I like barebones coords, perhaps it’s a mix of depression, laziness, and lack of time, but I prefer simple and easy to wear coords.
I can’t wear burando during the summer. The dresses are too well made- I’m talking about the fact that they’re lined. It’s great and all, but when I’m already wearing a blouse, bloomers, and petticoat, not to mention maybe even a corset and tights- yeah, let’s go without the dress lining. I still love it, but it’ll be reserved for winter.
Lol the part about sagging in places it shouldnt. 😂 and whoa you learned a lot from this! That’s Good! 😁
It wasn’t easy to do, either. I think after a year’s worth of these I’ll be able to hone in on my accessories too, as I’ve been snapping photos of nearly every coord!
Oh wow! That’s so cool. Your outfits look nice too!
Thanks! 🥰
That noted, despite it being tough, I’d 100% recommend it for anyone with large wardrobes. Maybe not the 10 item one but perhaps project 333 or something similar?
You know you should do a post on tips for beginners or something like that hehe. 👍🙂
Oooh yes! I’ll have to do that, a post on finding the right one for themselves
