Introduction

WORK IN PROGRESS, PLEASE PARDON redface
This may take a while as I'm realizing I need to find a good place to display the items I'll be taking pictures of. x: And it'll take even longer to get pictures of me in all the outfits. @_@ Hopefully my boyfriend can help me with this, his working on the CD yearbook and they want to do a segment on my clothing style. XD So...Well...This is going to be an on going project with a big celebration once I finally get it finished! cheese_whine


So, every loli needs her perfect wardrobe.
Idealy, the "perfect" wardrobe features 11 pieces (not including shoes or accessories). This includes 5 skirts, 5 shirts, and 1 jacket.
But, many lolis wear dresses!
Never fear, I shall help sort this out, my lovely lolis.

Every piece in your wardrobe should be able to match at least 2 other pieces (ie 1 shirt should be able to match 2 different bottoms).

Since everything needs to match, you should stick with a certain style of loli, or at least a certain colour pattern (sweet lolis can wear black, its not just for goth lolis).
I myself am a sweet lolita with pink and black outfits. This includes 2 black skirts, 1 white lace skirt, 1 pink shirt, 1 white shirt, 1 black vest, and a pink dress. I have many non loli shirts, vests, and corsets that are Victorian inspired that pair well with most of these. I also own 3 pairs of black mary janes and 1 pair of pink.

In the following posts, this will be discussed in detail.

Skirts

arrow Seperate your skirts and focus solely on them.
arrow Take pictures of them for easy reference.
arrow Try to decide if you have any shirts, accessories, and shoes that can match multiple skirts.

For example (I will take actual pictures of the skirts later, for now I'll use store pictures of the skirts, so I'll only be showing a few ^^; ):

In my closet I have 3 brand name loli skirts. 1 cream lace skirt for aristocrat outfits and 1 black with white laceskirt that when worn beneath the breats can pass for a loli skirt (minus poof D: ). I have 2 strapless dresses that I use as skirts as well, 1 black and 1 red with black fleur de leis, but these I'll put in the dresses section :3 .

Skirt 1

Black and white. Goes with ALL of my black shirts, black corsets, vests, and white shirts. Goes with my black mary janes.

Skirt 2 (focus only on the skirt, not on the entire outfit)

Black and white. Goes with ALL of my black shirts, black corsets, vests, and white shirts. Goes with my black mary janes.

Skirt 3

White. Lacey. Goes with my pink shirt, all of my white shirts, all of my corsets, and vests. Goes with my black mary janes and my pink ones.

You guys can post now, even though I'm still working on it.
I'm fixing to put up a how to for making tea cup invitations like the ones I made for my birthday tea party this Friday (I'll be 17 this Friday, the 25).

That's what I was thinking.
But in my fashion class, we had an assignment where we had to organize our closets and figure out how efficient out wardrobe is. I realized that many lolis pro'lly have a problem with their own "closet monster" and don't have the right clothes or enough clothes.
And after all of the information is finished I'd like to see the wardrobes everyone has created. ^_^
