Wardrobe 2020 ~Part I~

Hello everyone! This is my first entry  and I'm very excited to talk about this, I've been into the fashion for many years but always thought my wardrobe was either too small or too boring to bother making a post for it, well not anymore! I'll have to say most of my pieces are from BABY, the stars shine bright, if no brand is described, it is from them. So let's start! <3

♡♡♡

1. Kumya Princess JSK


This dress was a special release by btssb and features amazing custom lace with a kumya pattern as well as a brocade fabric and lots of ribbons ♡ 

Custom lace is not that common in BABY's releases, so I fell in love with this jumperskirt as soon as I saw it, I loved the ribbons, the kumya lace and the brocade in the fabric, because of the price I was sure this dress was unattainable but my boyfriend made a huge effort and gave it to me as a present ♡. I have only worn it once, but I'm already looking for wearing it again.


2. My Favorite Ribbon 


A beatiful design collab between Aoki Misako and btssb's designer Uehara Kumiko. The fabric has a gorgeous ribbon pattern, and has detachable accessories with stars and a rhinestone. 

I got this dress a few months before going to a convention Misako was going to, for those who know me, they know I really admire her because of her work as a lolita model and a nurse, since I'm a nurse myself. I had the hope to receive the dress in time to the convention but it took a lot longer to come home and I ultimately resigned on showing Misako that I appreciate her by wearing My Favorite Ribbon to her tea party. Fast forward a few years, I got to show her my dress last year at a tea party in Colombia ♡


3. Thumbelina ~Maia's Wonderful Encounter Story~ JSK I


A front bustle and a cute border print, featuring the tale of Thumbelina in an array of pinks with some lavender and yellow accents. Perfect for a spring coord.

I wore this dress to my first btssb tea party, and I won best dresser with it, so this one has a special place in my heart ♡. I'm trying to go for a more adult like look, so I still need to figure how to coord this dress in a way I feel more comfortable with or sell it to a new loving owner, but selling stuff is so hard to me.


4. Michael's Blessing JSK


An intricate design with lots of details. The lace is delicate and beautiful, and the double corset lacing on the front make this jumper skirt the perfect one for more over the top coords. The detachable chain and buttons on the bodice just make it an even more gorgeous piece. 

I have worn this just a couple times, but the times I've worn it it made me feel like a fairytale princess, the ribbons make for very elegant coordinates with a flowy feel and I love that!


5. Sugar Bouquet OP


A BTSSB classic! The print is kind of busy but balanced and very very cute. It features flowers, strawberries and the btssb logo and it's the most wonderful print in the world. 

I got this last year and I love it! The fabric is quite thick and has a very good feel, the lace is beautiful and the print is so detailed and cute. If I could I would have this print everywhere, as a big fan of baby, this one print is ♡THE ONE♡ that must be worshipped.


6. Halloween Alice JSK 


Another btssb classic print. This time with a halloween theme. The print has little children already wearing their costumes and going trick or treating for halloween. The lace is thick and gorgeous and the hot pink ribbon makes a beautiful accent detail.

This is the first brand jsk I got, a girl from my country contacted me out of nowhere and offered to sell it to me, I didn't think it twice and bought in a heart beat! I still kind it is quite hard to wear it all year round because of the very specific theme it has, but it is so cute I can't part ways with it.


7. Florence's Medicine Chest Louisa JSK


A very nurse-like piece. The print has bottles containing herbs and Florence Nightingale (or I think it is her). The color is a deep pink that's not that common in lolita with brown accents.

I modeled this dress at a btssb fashion show in Chile. I loved every second of the experience and both the designer and shop attendant were sweet and supportive! As I have hip dysplasia, my walking is quite weird and taking part of fashion shows make me afraid because I think people will laugh at me, so having the courage to go out and walk that runway did a lot for my self-steem, and making friends throughout the process just made it unforgettable♡.


8. Little Rabbit Sparkly Droplet Rendezvous JSK


I got this dress in a lucky pack, the print is a little busy but quite nonetheless. It has a decorative corset lacing on the front, a scalloped detail on the bodice and full back shirring. I have worn this one for my first time doing an actual twinning coord with a friend! 


9. Nounours apron OP


The prettiest OP, the apron is attached to the dress with bear shaped buttons and the front ribbon has the btssb logo and name on it. The scalloped neck makes for a sweet sweet look. 

This OP I got at a convention baby went to, I saw it and I knew I had to have it. It is very comfy and I love every single detail of it.


10. Fondant Chocolate Nounours Ribbon JSK


Same collection as the previous OP, it has teddy bears and chocolate everywhere. Pink x brown is a very cute color combo and this dress makes it look even cuter! 

I modeled this dress for btssb at a con too and luckily the designers let the models buy the dresses modeled at a discounted price! So I took the offer and now this baby is mine 

11. Shirring JSK 


I bought this one thinking it was the shirring princes jsk, it got home and shoot, it wasn't, but it was very cheap and though the desing is simple, it is very cute and very easy to coord so I'm not complaining! I usually pair this one with a head eating bow and simple blouse for an old school feeling ♡


12. Melody Doll Replica - BODYLINE


There's not much to say about the design of this jsk, it is a very simple replica of Angelic Pretty's Melody Doll, released some time in 2008, more or less.

I got this dress when I was about 15 years old and had saved a lot of money for it (for an adolescent living in latin america), and I was very excited about getting it! I can't help but laugh at myself now. Though I no longer want to buy replicas nor support them, this jsk I got when I was younger has a lot of emotional value to me and I can't let it go, so now I use it as a very casual dress.


13. Heart apron anniversary ver.


An old school staple piece with a twist, this apron is the classical btssb apron worn in the good old times but featuring a beautiful embroidery for btssb's 30th anniversary.

I started wearing a questionable form of lolita when old school was the norm and shitmotsuma was the epitome of the lolita lifestyle, so getting one of this was a must! Now my dream is to bake sometime sweet and cute while wearing full lolita, apron included.


14. Sweetheart sweet dot OP


Dots everywhere and a retro feel made me fall in love with this dress. The stripped belt and stripped ribbon make it even cuter! 

I saw this OP in the navy colorway on baby's homepage and loved it. I was travelling to nyc and considered buying it in store or making sure I got it by buying it online, and decided to ask my dad for advice, wise man he is, he said I should wait a couple days and get it in person for an extra especial day. Well I got to the store and the fricking dress was sold out, I'm never listening to my dad's advide regarding lolita shopping ever again.

 I got this one in lacemarket but I'm still hunting for the navy one that stole my heart.


15. Nurse OP - Handmade


A dress I made for Halloween. I love Metamorphose's Engelsbeginn OP, but since I didn't want to make an exact copy, I modified some things like the sleeves and the lenght of the dress. Making the pattern was hard since I had no real guide on how to draft it, but it works just fine when worn. 


16. Claudia, the fairytale princess OP


This dress is simply stunning and no description will ever get to explain how beautiful it is in person. The lace is perfect and the creams, reds an blues match perfectly. The fabric of the dress has a very subtle lace-like pattern that's impossible to show in pictures, but amazing in real life!

I got this one as a birthday present from my dad, and when it arrived, it didn't fit me. The end. 
Now really, I considered taking it to a seamstress but the possibility of it getting screwed made me not do it, so I wore in the most ridiculous ways, like tucking the bodice into the skirt part and wearing a blouse under the bustier, I think it kind of worked, kind of. Luckily I lost weight and now I can wear it normally, but I cried a lot when I got it and couldn't fit in it. Please always read the measurements before buying.


17. Kumya's cherry strawberry JSK


A jsk with a very light weight fabric, perfect for summer! The cute print with both usakumya and kumakumya match perfectly with the custom lace ♡ The blue and red accents make the dress have a fun spirit!

It was a long while since the last time I bought a full set, but this release was waay to cute to pass on that. I love kumyas, in every way, shape or form, and this print was just perfect for me! My favorite color is blue and I almost have no dresses in that color, but I love that at least this one has very prominent blue details ♡ Some cherries are shaped like hearts too, isn't that lovely?


18. Salon de thé minette JSK


The fabric on this dress has a shimmery look and a beautiful tulle like detail on the hem. The print has macarons and sweets and everything needed for the perfect tea party ♡

This dress was a prize from a btssb tea party! I love it and I treasure this like the trophy it is. As a huge btssb fan, being acknowledged by one the designers was a dream come true ♡


19. Wonder Story comes in the Rose blooming night Violetta JSK


Playing cards and roses for the cutest Alice in Wonderland themed print ♡ As you can see, the roses are white but some have been painted over, just like in the book! But this time, they are pink instead of red.

I love this cute rendition of the classic Alice in Wonderland lolita dress. As much as I like the classic red on the roses, this pink and sax color combo make it a lot sweeter! 


20. Heart Marguerite JSK


This jsk feels like a picnic day out right? The ribbons everywhere, both in actual ribbon and in the print, make this dress the perfect sweet picnic attire! 

This was the last thing I got to buy from New York's btssb/tokyo rebel store. I got it thinking it was a light blue color and it turned out being lavender, rip me and my negative skills to recognize colors. I have no lavender pieces to coord it with but I like it so I decided to keep it.


21.  Crystal Dream Mermaid - ANGELIC PRETTY (modified) OP - Angelic Pretty


This dress came to me in all sax color, but I bought it with the intention of modifying it into a dress that looked more like the one Ariel wears in the movie. I love disney world and disney bounding is always fun, so I did the new bodice and added some cms into it, got apart the pink front ribbon and made smalled bows for the sleeves. I had zero clue of what I was doing so it probably doesn't look the best, but it is wearable and got lots of compliments in the parks! It's a shame I didn't make it to dapper day, but at least I got to show Ariel herself my weird modded dress.


22. Sailor Moon gradation print JSK - SECRET HONEY


A simple but cute dress. The print is sailor moon themed and so is the beautiful embroidery on the bodice. The pleated skirt makes it look elegant yet cute.

Sailor Moon was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid, so when a friend had this up for sale I snagged it! When wearing it I always feel like a pretty lady ♡


23. Fairy topialium ~Promise in the forest of Trifolium~ Pratense JSK


The fabric of this jsk has a glittery finish that is hard to capture on picture, but it adds to its whimsical feeling. The print has a big castle with fairies, flowers and of course, the cutest topiaries in the whole world.

I wore this dress to embark on a 12 hour flight (layovers included) to the Magic Kingdom, because I hate myself. It was fun that everyone in the airports knew where I was heading to, some of the workers even asked me about it and joked with me because of it. When I got to MK some cast members even complimented my dress, it was a wonderful day even if I ended dead tired after it.

♡♡♡
