2014 is Winsome's Year of the Dream Print and Wardrobe Turnover

It feels like it's been years since I've posted! Oh wait...

Despite looking back and feeling the stinging shame of anyone who looks at their old writing, amplified by tripe and generally appearing terrible, I have decided to keep many of my old posts so that I have a comparison for growth. ^.^

This year I wanted to really focus and do a wardrobe overhaul, so my turnover has been even higher than usual. In my closet is about 1/6th of what I have owned altogether, but I am much more satisfied with what I have now. I have a few things for sale right now (including Kidsyoyo's Violin Embroidery Coat which I plan on replacing with another in red, navy, or ivory)


but after they are gone I don't see myself getting rid of anything I have. I made a lot of mistakes building and thinning my wardrobe, but from here it's just carefully building.

2014's goal is to snatch up some dream prints I wasn't able to get at release and get some more blouses, underskirts, shoes, and accessories to add variety– fulfilling my new year's resolution to wear lolita full-time. Van and I are still waiting for our Taobao order to arrive, but this year I've already obtained five dream items:

Clockwork Tea Party Lumiere, Rider's Parka, 1st Release Wonder Party, and Wonder Story Apron-Style skirt
Rin Chan's Tinker Bell Head Bow, sparking my mint chiffon passion!

My wardrobe has morphed considerably since last post. Inexperienced, I used to only want and wear skirts, thinking that they were better suited for someone my height. I also didn't care for prints outside of floral. Two years ago I purchased Alice's Marchin' Cookie Flavour Milky jsk in pink (they were out of brown) from BtSSB SF and I changed my mind about jsks and prints in the time it took me to walk from the dressing room to the mirror.

Current sk/jsks: 4 BtSSB, 2 AP, and 3 bl- the rest are floating about somewhere, I'm not sure...

I saw F Yeah Lolita's lolita-specific 52 week challenge after ignoring the internet for a very long time. Let me know if you're working on it too! It's good to be active again. *v*
