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.
