Just another person dressing up for another day

  • In attempts to spare wallet

    Some stores I’ve bought from in the past that I should avoid moving forward unless by some miracle, they start using natural fibers, or include features that I desperately look for (pockets): -To Alice -Qutie Frash -Ozz On -HEIHEI, Amavel, Hoshibako Works, Axes Femme, AtePie (I’ll still plenty raid you for all the select brands…

  • 2024 Resolutions – How it’s going

    At some point, I found out I was mildly comfortable with doing oldschool sweet bits here and there because some of my styling runs that way, but I still won’t ever be a pastel sweet. So there’s where I draw the line now. I’ve also done pretty well sticking with points 1) Natural Fibers and…

  • Strengths and Weaknesses

    Things/motifs I’m (my wallet is) VERY glad I’m not crazy for: -Food (esp strawberries) -Gingham that’s not black/white -Florals -Dogs -Crosses -Any lace that isn’t the specific floofy torchon I like -Any colorways I’m not going for (all white/shiro, sweet colors like pink, sax. I’m essentially avoiding purples where I can too although I have…

  • Wardrobe Organizing 2024

    As a follow up to my previous bit about wardrobe organizing, I’ve had zero regrets getting the 2 mannequins instead of just 1. The only sad part is that I haven’t had much time to actually pair coord with them, but rather I keep different outfits on them at various times, for various reasons. Some…

  • 2024 Resolutions

    HIGH EXPECTATIONS for getting any main pieces, NEW OR THRIFTED…: 1. Natural fibers: Cotton, wool, etc 2. MUST HAVE POCKETS (I make exceptions for the right price though…) – If this means getting less from Meta, BTSSB, AATP, as much as I love them… then so be it. If that means becoming the AP whore…

  • Smol steps for the Wardrobe

    I have a lot of organizing to do!!! I’ve been organizing my J-Fashion wardrobe through Trello, which I’m surprised no one else in J-Fashion community seems to recommend (although one of the mods in the EGL Discord server I like also uses it!). It’s been the most visually pleasant one for me so far, and…

  • Qutie Frash

    Qutie Frash

    They label themselves “Asian music wear”… which yeah, I can get behind. My first QF piece, a simple cardigan at 4,400.I’ve seen this sell at over 7000 in at least two other recent occasions, so I’m feeling great about this one thrift lol. Cargo pants beautifully yoinked at 3,520. Their better pants tend to go…

  • NieR Clothing

    NieR Clothing

    This is more of a PSA post than anything, but this is most definitely FAST FASHION, even if it’s not to the extent as certain other brands that are even more gross about it. My additional PSA is that getting items from them directly will likely lead to regret for the wallet. For example, I…

  • Ozz On – Croce is my favorite

    Ozz On – Croce is my favorite

    I made a weak attempt to keep away from gothic styles when I started get back into punk, even though I was a hint goth back in late high school/college days. It didn’t last long. Ozz On has a variety of sub lines, ranging from Oneste, Angelo, Hikozoh, Conte, Croce, Rozen Kavalier… And seems to…

  • Sixh / H.Naoto, MiNT NeKO

    Sixh / H.Naoto, MiNT NeKO

    I’m pretty old, but I’m still quite the fashion baby. As in, literally today finding out that Sixh is the old H.Naoto before they merged/consolidated. But man they had some niiiiice threads. The implementation of the colors are nice. Nowadays, a lot of brands are sticking to just plain grayscale, or going full-on with the…
