A bit of a mix of different alternative fashions.

A bit of a mix of different alternative fashions.

What counts for this, shirts/dresses only? Or is the amount of denim and yoga pants I own worth knowing? Also is there a lazy website for making a pie chart lol.

I'm a purist.

75% gothic lolita
5% classic lolita
20% traditional goth

>>10608307
So I guess you dress in a category depending on your mood or the meetup type? Interesting that you have both kei and goth.

>>10608308
Yeah I just clicked through the tabs and took a screenshot from https://www.meta-chart.com/pie
As for what counts, I don't have a specific metric, just kind of guesstimated/personally categorized what I own. I would say for sure shirts, dresses, skirts, undergarments.

>>10608325
If true, I am both impressed and wondering how you have a job lol

>>10608308
oh, and yeah I did mean the overall proportion of your lolita stuff to regular/normie stuff. I just put all my pjs and t-shirts in the "comfy" category.

>>10608325
What if you have to go to a funeral

oh lord, I have way too much stuff to count. and how much I have of each is not proportional to how much I wear it. but looking forward to seeing others' breakdowns.

>>10608354
OP here, my chart is not accurate, it just gives a general idea. I encourage you to share even if it's not perfect.

>>10608355
I'd separate my wardrobe into 4 quarters:
>trendy-ish normie (FashionNova sets, Forever21 dresses)
>full-on normie (graphic tees)
>casual jfashion (liz lisa, axes femme)
>non-pastel sweet lolita (mostly BtSSB)

I wear lolita to occasions with my bffs like dinner out or going to the nail salon together. I wear casual jfashion or trendy stuff otherwise, to the grocery store or to meet my friends' friends. And when I'm feeling bleh I dress in loose tshirts and sweatpants and go full nerdmode.

>>10608364
P.S. I forgot about business clothes because I've been working from home the whole pandemic. I hope I never have to go back. I used to mix & match trousers and blazers or cardigans in various dark colors and my black loafers. (You won't catch me wearing heels to work, no ma'am, I don't want that kind of damage.) But I got a more casual job during the pandemic, so if they make me come in, I'll do jeans & blazer or trousers & polo. I could not give less of a fuck about how I dress at work as long as it looks professional enough. I turn a switch in my brain between work and "real life".

>>10608380
Yeah that's totally fair, and I think even more professional settings have become slightly lax because we've all been in this terrible cooped up mood since March 2020. I think the generally accepted work outfit should fit "I am here to work" and not hint at partying, have too much skin showing etc. The switch between real life and fantasy garb is real real, and I live for those times when I don't have to be casual and can experiment with looks.

20% normie comfy wear, sweat pants and pajamas

60% lolita

20% fairykei/general pastel jfashion stuff

If I had to go to a funeral or wedding right now, I would have to go and purchase something to wear. I dont think this is that uncommon desu

Ive worked from home for years so to hell with business attire in my wardrobe

>>10608404
>Ive worked from home for years so to hell with business attire in my wardrobe
ENVY

>>10608424
You've piqued my interest, nonny.

>>10608424
absolute chadbro detected

>>10608424
>Hawaiian shirts not 69%
Missed opportunity

>>10608424
is Hawaii jfashion?

>>10608335
Nayrt but this is a super retarded question. I’m the same and all of my clothes are AP save for the random baby dress/socks. AP has put out tons of funeral appropriate dresses. Just don’t wear a petticoat and tone down the look with solid black tights and shoes.

>>10608330
>If true, I am both impressed and wondering how you have a job lol
NTA but why? You sound bitter. My wardrobe is 95% AP and I don't have any issues buying brand when I want it.

>>10608451
They sound like some retard who’s reference for a “job” is poorfag shit you need to do in person like a retail or service job and don’t know what work from home is

>>10608458
Lots of jobs require you to come into the office, and even if you work from home your employer wants to see you over Zoom or some other bs. Which is why I was wondering. If you can pull off the full lolita wardrobe lifestyle and work from home in total seclusion...tell me your secrets pls

>>10608459
>work from home in a non shit job

That’s literally it. My boss doesn’t give a fuck if I’m wearing pink or my backdrop is pink because my walls are painted

>>10608441
If you wear enough Alba Rosa hibiscus pieces as a ganguro/manba, yes

>>10608297
Going by space, roughly
40% lolita
30% kimono
10% workout & hiking clothing
10% kpop t-shirts
5% comfy punk/goth stuff
5% work clothing (slacks, sweaters, modern hanbok, etc)

Kind of like this. As I am a lifestyle goth, I wanted to branch more into gothic lolita and aristocratic lolita. My twin is more into old school lolita. My favorite brands tend to be Punk Rave, Eva Lady, Atellier Boz, etc. :)

>>10608297
>50% lolita, 90% of which is AP
>40% otome/other jfashion
>6% vintage
>4% comfy/room wear/gym clothes

But I wear otome/other jfashion 80% of the time. My go-to for work is a MILK dress with a cardigan or jacket, plain tights or ankle socks (no lace), and low heels or flat shoes. I wear a lot of fruit prints. The dress code is business casual. I want to get a Vivienne Westwood suit, but formal situations are very rare at my workplace. I guess I lucked out, especially for my industry!

>>10608537
I wanna be friends

>>10608424
Finally, a person of culture

>>10608448
It was banter you daft bint

Also
>AP sweet 100%
>Posts solid black dress

>>10608583
Black can still be sweet anon. It’s about the details.

>>10608687
It’s not the same as milky dreamy sweet baby print #49 in the pink colorway. The cut of that dress isn’t typically sweet either

>>10608692
It’s AP and it’s sweet. Stuff doesn’t have to look like 2010OTT pastel vomit to be sweet, newfag.

>>10608583
>black can’t be sweet

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

>>10608694
the difference is that workplaces wouldn’t give a shit if you wore it but ott wouldn’t pass most of the time. See >>10608462

>>10608694
I also never said it wasn’t sweet, only that the cut isn’t a typical sweet cut. You are retarded

>>10608700
>backtracking this much to defend your wrong opinion

Laughable

>>10608713
Reread >>10608692 and tell me where I said it isn’t sweet

>>10608714
So are we just going to ignore >>10608583
?

>>10608720
Do you not know how imageboards work? That wasn’t me

Had to do a little bit of guessing on what is currently in the laundry but here's mine.

>>10608733
Sure jan

>>10608424
Jesus christ. It sounds like you are in management in IT in WA.

>>10608739
excellent distribution anon

>>10608687
I agree! It’s my favourite sweet colourway. However,
>>10608448
is not a black sweet OP by any stretch.

>>10608692
>>10608700
These anons get it

>>10608697
I didn’t say black couldn’t be sweet. I didn’t even imply it. Did you reply to the right post? ESL?

I deeply regret derailing this thread

>>10608740
>wahh how is it possible for multiple people to be talking to me at the same time

>>10608749
personally I do think it’s sweet but it’s very close to classic, especially if you removed the bows

>>10608749
It is sweet. You have no eye for this fashion

>>10608749
That is sweet you fucking moron.

before anyone asks about 90s grunge indie I mean like mazzy star, kat bjelland, miki berenyi, d'arcy wretzky, helena bonham Carter etc cause idk what that style is called lmao

>>10608807
kek I meant hope sandoval not mazzy star

is everyone finally going to admit there is more overlap between styles than some of you say?

>>10608773
>>10608795

i counted blouses for lolita to even it out since those are kind of considered "main pieces" with normie clothes, but i also have far more lolita accessories, socks, shoes, outerwear etc than any other category in my wardrobe

i hope i can keep doing remote tech job so i can wear my stupid clothes

>>10608747
The only thing I manage are my finances and I live in California.
>>10608582
That's extremely cultured. Do you make the armor yourself?

>>10608426
It actually is pretty impressive how fast a collection racks up. You eventually sort it by value/brands. I keep things from cheaper brands to the far left and things from hawaii in the middle with my namebrand stuff like Tommy Bahamas to the right of my closet.
>>10608441
Considering the first Hawaiian shirt was just kimono silk with coconut buttons, sorta.
>>10608438
Thanks desu ne

i love wearing all my wacky shit to work... truly a (codemonkey) lifestyler move to pull up to work in frills and no one batting an eye because you're just
>that girl

I barely own any clothes for refence. For my normies clothes, i can literally fit everything i own in three large dresser drawers, including stuff like coats shoes. Not even joking. I keep all my lolita in my wardrobe in a fills up a quarter of my wardrobe whilst the rest is just dead space.

>>10608821
You are retarded

Going by roughly the amount of main pieces/sets that I own. I'm not counting top items because I own too many cutsews and cardigans that overlap in styles and comfy wear only includes the items I own (I like to steal my bfs Tshirts/hoodies/pajamas).

>>10608835
Only for lamellar stuff, or tailoring maille. The rest of the smithing process I leave up to the pros. I mainly sew kit, brew alcohol and starting out with medieval cooking and hiking.

>>10608844
The codemonkey lifehack is impossible to beat on what you can get away with without forever working at home.

>>10608890
Trad clothes chad, what kinda stuff you have?

I basically just wear my reenactment clothing casually anymore, but I do have some lolita and folk clothing still.

>>10609165
What soar of reaction do you get going for coffee while dressed like a Viking?

>>10609205
Usually it is just people saying that I look interesting and that they wish they could dress however they wanted. Sometimes I get weird comments about popular media, asking if I am cosplaying or going to a party dressed as -insert popular character here- (the weirdest one was some lady asking me if I was cosplaying Elsa, to which the man she was with laughed and said "She is clearly a valkyrie!").

People tend to just mention that my apron dress/wool dress is pretty, or comment on my jewelry, or ask where I got/how I made part of my reenactment clothing though.

I mostly just smile and go about my day. I'd take weird comments if it meant I could be this comfortable forever. Nothing is more comfortable to me, clothing-wise.

>>10609165
>>10609211
Scandi style stuff from that era is mad comfy, gotta admit. Do you have some pics of your kit?

Got some 9th century Kievan and some random Birka stuff.

>>10608297
Originally my wardrobe mostly consisted of dark brands like Listen Flavor, AnkoROCK, Deorart, etc, but I found the edgy prints to look off the older you get, so I switched to more simple looking dark girly fashion (like pic related) and my wardrobe only consists of that now beyond a single LF piece.
