Happy spring everyone! I had a resolution for lolita fashion in 2023 to do a full no-buy, and I succeeded! I succeeded so much that I didn’t buy anything new until just about a week ago! I learned a lot throughout the year.
Like while I wasn’t buying new things my style actively changed quite a lot and I feel as if it had more freedom to change due to the fact that I wasn’t focused on purchasing items and more just using what I had. I have started to lean towards more gothic styles and now have a very intense desire to start wearing military lolita. Unfortunately, that is not a very popular substyle so finding secondhand pieces, and ones in my size has not been a very successful undertaking. I also plan on sorting through my closet here soon for a YouTube video.
I shocked myself by not immediately jumping into buying something right after the new year. Part of it was due to being extremely busy at my past job and transitioning to my new position, but another part of it is that I simply got out of the habit of buying things. My wallet has certainly thanked me in the past year. I am very excited to be getting back into buying new things, however, I know I shall be far more intentional with it going forward.
A new goal of mine is to try to blend my wardrobes together as much as I can. I don’t necessarily want to wear full lolita coords to work but I would like to have more pieces I can easily make use of throughout more parts of my life, and sell off what won’t work as well. I will certainly keep some “special event” dresses though.
I have been feeling my style pull a bit more gothic which is very interesting for me since my social media right now is very sweet-themed. I still adore sweet lolita so I’m not planning on changing anything right now, however, in the future, there is a strong possibility I may choose to switch being more of a black forest cake.
