Welcome to my Closet
It took many a year to really convince myself spending money to have nice clothes I actually like and feel good
in. I'm still working on it. I always will be. I'm a firm believer in slow fashion, as in, I don't want to
participate in micro trend cycles where you buy dirt cheap clothes from notorious retailers (shien, ect), wear
once, toss, and repeat. Rather, to slowly curate pieces that appeal to me, have a purpose within my wardrobe, and
will last at least a decent amount of time.
This also means I am attempting to limit how much pleather (aka vegan leather) makes it into my closet. I have had
to say goodbye to far too many lovely pieces, shoes, bags, and cosplays, only because fake leather products will
eventually peel away from their backing, with no repair options, no preventive measures - leaving plastic waste I
can't do anything about. As such I try to buy fabric (in this case even synthetic isn't as terrible when it's
woven fiber) or real leather. It's slow, and harder to find niche clothing style brands that fit the criteria, but
worth it so I have less to worry about in the future irt plastic waste and replacing my clothing frequently.
Anyway, if you read all that, or even if you didn't, all my clothes are collected here, and sorted between
ouji/lolita, general alt/goth, and accessories (and shoes). There is also a wish list which serves as a hit list
of must haves I've wanted and am seeking when they are available and I have funds for them.
Ouji/Lolita Wardrobe
A portion of my clothing is considered 'aristocrat' or 'ouji'. The second of which is the specific name for the
more "masculine" version of the fashion style known as lolita, and the first being considered the more elegant and
mature version of lolita. If you don't know what lolita is yet, many a blogger and video creator have done a
better job than I ever will covering the basics of it, and if you have 5 minutes this video from the well known lolita Lovely Lor will do
a great job of explaining it.
I think there's debate on how to classify these styles in relation to lolita, but I honestly don't care. Ouji
will feature pants and vests over skirts and dresses, but almost everything else the same, and aristo has a focus
on long sleek silhouettes. They are all related, and many brands that are the backbone of the japanese brands (and
even the chinese ones! )will make clothing that suits lolita, and will also make companion ouji sets.
I greatly prefer said pants and shorts over dresses, but there are a few dresses I have every intention of owning
because they have no pant/short counterpart, but I will buy they, and wear them, on account of just how beautiful
they are. Anyway here's my clothes.

Wishlist
Ahh One day these all will be mine to wear as much as I please. Patience will get me there.
I also need more pants but I'm blessed with a fat ass and non western brands won't fit, so I have to find more nice quality pants that work for aristo.
The Dresses
I only really want two or three dresses, and these are them.
