My newest main piece both to me and chronologically is BTSSB's Kumya Floating Tea Party.
\"\"
They did a restock early March and I love this shade of blue and the various pastel colors, I think will be fun to coord with \u2661

My oldest piece is MTDF's Bridal OP from 2003.
\"\"
I also have a blouse of theirs from this time but this was my ultimate dream dress so I'm taking the chance to show it off XP
The satin has a unique texture that I think shows up well on camera and the flocky pattern is so cool.

What are your newest\/oldest pieces?

Hello all! I'm Mignonette\/Royalsealy (he\/him). Recently I've found myself nostalgic for the more forum driven format of the early internet days (even though I was mostly on neoboards lol) and I thought I would give this a shot!


I'm mostly a sweet lolita with a growing love for old school. My favorite of the big brands is Metamorphose with Baby the Stars Shine Bright a close second with their old school releases.

I'm definitely putting off making an official website\/blog type thing, but I'm most active on Tumblr, Lemon8, and Instagram. Occasionally I post YouTube videos (heres a link to my wardrobe video)<\/a>.

I'll do a quick Q&A thing to get this started:

Favorite drink (besides water):<\/b> Chai lattes! But basically all tea

Favorite color:<\/b> mint\/seafoam green

Headdress or KC:<\/b> Recently, headdresses!

JSK or OP?: <\/b>Short sleeve OPs, I love ones that can be layered

Favorite band:<\/b> Radkey

Currently reading:<\/b> The final part of Lord of the Rings trilogy

Current Shows:<\/b> Ted Lasso, Abbott Elementary, Naruto Shippuden, and slowly going through Doctor Who

Hobbies:<\/b> Nature walks (especially for birds and bugs), Pottery, watching Formula 1 (LH, PG, and YT are my favorites!), and learning Japanese

Random:<\/b> I'm in the process of growing bush green beans for the first time!

Outside of this I try to go to as many meets as I can as well as hosting from time to time.

I would love to see other intro posts or responses as well since I probably don't know many people here :)

Thanks for reading!<\/a>"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:egl:20199090","author":{"name":"ephemeral_lace"},"link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/egl.livejournal.com\/20199090.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/egl.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=20199090"}}],"title":"My 2023 Wardrobe Post","published":"2023-01-29T08:10:22Z","updated":"2023-01-29T08:10:22Z","category":[{"@attributes":{"term":"theme: january"}},{"@attributes":{"term":"community: wardrobe post"}}],"content":"https:\/\/ephemeral-lace.blogspot.com\/2023\/01\/january-2023-wardrobe-post.html<\/a>
