In Love with a Dream: Wardrobe Post: 2018!

Hi friends! <3

It's time for the annual posting of my wardrobe!

This is my fifth year doing one, but I've been into lolita for eight years now.

You can view earlier wardrobe posts over here:

This year, I focused on trimming down items that I didn't really wear/need anymore. I also obtained more dresses, a few blouses, and a bunch of accessories that went with what I already had. I'm really happy to have obtained some of my top wishlist items such as Angelic Pretty's Daydream Carnival Tiered Jsk and matching headbow, Innocent World's Book Bag, and Angelic Pretty's Decoration Dream Pony Ring. Everything in my wardrobe is still fairly interchangeable; making it easier for me to coord.

I reviewed the wardrobe goals I set last year, and set new ones for this year.

You can read about that here.

My style is mainly still sweet, but with some classic and a bit more gothic. I love to change up my look sometimes. One meet-up I'll be in full on sweet Angelic Pretty pink and cutesy printed pastels, the next in elegant gothic Moi Meme Moitie black and navy with crosses and roses. It's fun! :-)

Note: I'm just going to be sharing skirts, dresses, and other newly acquired items this time. New dresses will be in bold type. Everything else is about the same. Please refer to last year's wardrobe post for pics of the other items. If you are curious about an item/brand/or where it came from, just ask.

Enjoy! :-)
