Closet Count! Skirts - Greens
I've always liked green - it was my favourite colour as a kid, and is still one of my favourite colours as an adult.
Many floral skirts incorporate green (via the leaves) but I've wanted all-green skirts for quite a while now. So when my lolita tastes started moving back towards green, the first thing I did was order a few of Bodyline's sweet prints in green!
These are the only three green skirts I have at the moment, but I'm hoping to expand this more in future.
1) Bodyline Stripe Balloon Bear
I didn't fall in love with this skirt the moment I saw it. In fact, I actually really hated the OP! It wasn't till I saw a really detailed review about this skirt that I saw all the really amazingly cute details that made me fall in love. :D
2) Bodyline Military Desserts Skirt
I love military-style skirts, especially in black, but the black colourway looked too busy. I love this in green though~
3) Bodyline Sugar Waffle Skirt
Like the Stripe Balloon Bear skirt, I hated this on first sight, but after seeing someone in this skirt, I fell in love with it! I guess my main issue was that the black colourway looked too busy to me. Doesn't help that I've been craving for sugar waffles too! :P
I think the proper name for this print is Maple Sugar Waffles, but I like the sound of Sugar Waffles better ^^;

Closet Count! Skirts - Patterned Blacks
Whew, I have more black skirts than I originally thought! Actually, I'm still looking to buy a plain black high-waisted skirt, but the only one I like from Bodyline is already sold out in both M and 2L (I can fit both, but 2L will be a little loose) so I'll just have to hunt down something else.
I'll start off with my favourite!
1) In The Starlight Lace-Patterned Black & Ivory Skirt.
I absolutely LOVE this skirt! The lace print is so pretty!! The skirt is also simple enough that I can wear it as everyday wear and won't get double takes. It's now too loose for me though, so I have to go get it altered soon.
2) In The Starlight Gray Roses Print Black Skirt
I love this skirt for the roses print :D I have another skirt in the same fabric, but in blue and in an A-line cut! This skirt is also great for wearing out with "normal" clothes. I once wore it with a mandarin collar top for Chinese New Year and got many compliments.
3) Bodyline Floral Cameo Skirt
I saw this in a store once before I bought this skirt and realised the material wasn't too bad a quality. I really like the pink and blue versions as well, but they felt a little sweet for me at the time. At any rate, I'm pretty glad I bought the black version because it looks quite classic :D It actually came with more black ribbons on the skirt, but I found them a little busy-looking, so I snipped them off.
4) Bodyline Floral High-Waist Skirt
LOVE this skirt SO MUCH! I'd been looking for this 2nd hand for so long, and when it started being sold again on their website - I was ecstatic! My only worry is that my waist is now borderlining the minimum for this size - how do I alter it if it becomes too big for me?
5) Offbrand Black x White Skirt
This is the first ever lolita skirt I ever bought! It was waaaay back before I understood many of the rules of lolita ^^;;;; The construction and material quality is not bad (actually pretty good for an offbrand skirt!), but it was definitely over priced - and so short!! When wearing it on my hips, it still comes up above my knees... :/ It wasn't so short on the shopkeeper, but then again I'm about more than a foot taller than she is...
And.... Yup, that's it for all my patterned black skirts! Next up should be my blue skirts :D

Comic Fiesta 2011 - My Lolita Outfit!
I decided to go to Day 2 of Comic Fiesta 2011 to support the Lolita Fashion Runway! I'm not comfortable with going on stage for any reason, so I didn't enter the show, but I still wore loli to show my support!
It was really nice seeing all the other girls again :) Gosh, I think the last time I saw them was at last year's CF!
This year was a predominantly sweet crowd. I think there were only two of us that I could safely identify as classic, with another two or three somewhere in between sweet and classic.
I'm pretty proud of my outfit today! It was a last-minute thing, and ended up looking pretty good for something I was scrambling to put together at 1am the night before.
Also - that's a new wig I'm wearing! It looks a little off in this photo, but it looks really great :D It's half-tied at the back, and I clipped two dusty pink Surface Spell roses onto the tied-up part.
I was originally carrying a different brown bag, but the handles started flaking off :/ I'll have to see how I can repair that because I really love that bag! The bag in the picture was originally a carrier bag for some things I promised a few friends.
Uh, don't mind the edited and blurry picture! It was a rushed picture taken in my hair salon (had a wedding dinner to attend the same night). Also, don't mind the tired derpface - it was tiring facing the crowds, and I was very tired from the Christmas party the night before and getting up at 5.30am that morning to help with church stuff.
Outfit breakdown:
JSK: Bodyline
Blouse: Innocent World
Petticoat: In The Starlight
Tights: Aldo (I think)
Shoes: Secret Shop
Original Bag: Midofi - replica of IW violin bag in brown
Bag in picture: Aldo, with a dusty pink LV scarf tied onto it
Headbow: Aldo
Earrings & necklace: I think it's from somewhere in San Francisco, but it could also be something my jeweller made for me.
Wig: Somewhere on TaoBao

Closet Count! Skirts - Solid Blacks
I actually do have alot of black skirts, so I thought I'd divide them up into solid blacks and patterned blacks.
1) Rose Melody Rosa Crucifix in Black Embroidery on Black
I really like this skirt alot, and the embroidery is gorgeous! It's a little too short for my comfort, but if I wear black tights, it looks okay :) Too bad it's made of a material way too warm for Malaysian weather!
2) Innocent World Ribbon Pintuck Skirt in Black
This skirt came as part of my very first Lucky Pack, and I was so excited about it! I'd been meaning to get a plain black skirt from IW for a long time, so this was just perfect :D When it first arrived, this skirt was really tight, but now it's become a very comfy fit.
3) In The Starlight Black Underskirt
A good, solid black underskirt for my collection, with a really pretty bustle back for overskirts :D I've been meaning to get the white version as well, but I kept putting it off and now they've closed down again.... ^^;;
Next up will be the patterned blacks!

Closet Count! Skirts - Red
I was supposed to be posting about my blue skirts, but I haven't taken pics of a couple of the new ones that just came in on Wednesday, so I thought I'd post about my red skirts first!
Onto the stuff:
1) Bodyline Red Gingham Desserts High Waist Skirt
I hate this skirt. I don't know, there's just something about it that I really hate... I hated it on the model, I hated stock pictures, I hated review pictures, I hated worn pictures... I'm not sure why I even bought this skirt ^^;; It's in my "got to sell" pile but I thought I'd feature it anyway - it's still a loli skirt in my closet!
2) Bodyline Red-on-White Floral High Waist Skirt
Ahhhh now here's a skirt I love!! I kind of wish I got the JSK as well, but I'm just as happy with the skirt :) I'm almost tempted to call it my Christmas skirt, really - it looks quite festive to me!
3) Dear Celine Basic Red Skirt - 50cm Version
(Sorry for the bad quality of the pic!!!)
There's a bit of a funny story behind this skirt. I originally ordered it so it could become a staple in my closet for easy outfits, and could also become an underskirt if the situation calls for it. Unfortunately, I underestimated the difference between my waist and my knees - and ordered it 50cm too short!
I ended up buying it a second time in the proper length, but I still keep this one. It makes for an excellent underskirt or emergency petticoat when I need extra poof :)
4) Dear Celine Basic Red Skirt - 60cm Version
Here's the proper length I needed! :) As mentioned, it serves as a good plain skirt or an underskirt where the situation calls for it.
That's all for my red skirts! I really ought to take pics of those other skirts I just received... XD

Closet Count! Skirts - Pink
I recently decided to do a complete closet count of all my loli clothes, and started off with the skirts.
Now, I have alot of lolita skirts - more so than I originally thought I did! And since I kind of want them to stretch out the number of posts I can do (ahahaha XD;;;) I'm posting them colour by colour rather than all in one big post.
Today's post is about my pink skirts!
1) Bodyline Pink Bunny Gingham skirt.
I... have absolutely no idea when or why I bought this skirt XD;;; I think I intended to sell this skirt a few months ago when I went off sweet for a while, but looking at it now... It's really cute ^^;;;;
2) In The Starlight Pink Roses Skirt
When I ordered this skirt, I accidentally put my waist measurement half an inch too large. Now it's really hanging off my waist, because my current waist measurements are about 2" smaller than when I first ordered the skirt :/
I'll definitely be sending this for alterations once I get to my ideal waist size, because this skirt is too cute! Pink, A-line AND roses? This screams me all over it!
3) In The Starlight Pink Pearls Skirt
As with the pink roses skirt, this skirt is now too loose for me! I'll definitely have to send it for alteration sometime.
And... Yup, that's all the pink skirts I have! o_O For the sheer number of skirts I have (at last count was about 33 of them, including the stuff on its way to me in the mail) I have surprisingly few of the same colour and style in one skirt. Which is a good thing I guess....? XD;
Toodles!
