In January back in the good old days of livejournal, the EGL community would have a yearly wardrobe theme where everyone would post every lolita piece of clothing they owned in a post for others to ooh and ahh over. I only ever participated twice, and since livejournal days, I only did a quick video clip of my lolita dresses once. I personally like seeing the rarest and most valuable (both monetarily or emotionally) pieces in another lolita's wardrobe because that's just fun and I'm nosy, but I wouldn't go searching for such posts. So I don't think it would be worth the time/effort to post my own wardrobe since it's not the most unusual or rare or even the biggest, and no one would be interested. No one is interested in my regular coord posts for one thing, not even the amazing ones I've done in the past few years. On the other hand, I should keep better track of my clothes for insurance and just archival purposes.
Here are some upcoming coords for 2023 you should keep an eye out for, and what I need to work on to complete those coords.
1. Alucard vampire aristocrat with the Alice and the Pirates jacket. I need to get a long white or platinum blonde wig and maybe classier knee-high boots, but I do have a vest and various blouses already.
2. Meta bunny, this is the year of the rabbit/cat after all. I don't really have a great headdress for this coord, certainly no bunny ears, no socks either. I wanted to make some jewelry or wristcuffs to match as well.
3. Speaking of, I want to do another cat coord. Or several! I have a good idea for a series but I just need to get the perfect cat ear headdresses.
4. Cowboy lolita. I posted some potential coord ideas here for a steampunk take, then never took worn photos. I also have a really good idea for a series here lol, but would have to buy a bunch more items and I dunno if I want to do that.
5. another handmade dress (or more) from Otome no Sewing. As mentioned before, I have fabrics for a copy I want to make (that may or may not be in a sewing book already), and I have leftover toile cotton for a one piece dress. I also need to finish my Sakizo cosplay (lolita-adjacent). I don't have a lot of other fabrics that are nice enough for lolita (maybe just regular clothes), but I would like to construct a hoop petticoat skirt for summer wear and of course, finish off some scraps to make accessories.
