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…

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…

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
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
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
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…

SEX POT ReVeNGe
After Deorart, Sexpot (sekupo) was the next, also enabled by CDJapan. To this day, I’m quite enamored by how unique their fashions are compared to most other brands I’ve looked around. A lot of their custom pieces are just WAY out there too me, but even their normal releases, I’m (pleasantly) surprised to not see…

Deorart
This was the start of it all… The first brand I dabbled into for getting into all of this. Thanks to CDJapan for enabling me lol. I really like their take on the built-in arm warmers! And their dress shirts are very much on point. As goes with many brands, I actually find a LOT…
