>How many socks do you have?
too many, probably 60 pairs specifically for lolita altogether
>Where do you get most of your socks? Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
half is brand and the other half is taobao
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
ap socks are pretty stretchy as are aatp socks
>How often do you buy new socks just for a coord?
not that often, but every time i buy new socks i try to make sure they go with what i already have
>Do you try to buy socks that will match with multiple items of your wardrobe?
yes
>have you ever brought a main piece just because you like the socks form the release?
no
>do you have a dream pair of socks?
bidding on a pair now, but if i get them then i'll own all my 'must have' socks

>How many socks do you have?
Around 30-40 pair I think? Far too many for the size of my wardrobe.
>Where do you get most of your socks?
Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
The vast majority is Angelic Pretty. There's some other brands in there too but no taobao or so. A haul isn't worth it with the crazy customs my country charges.
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
Innocent World actually, or Baby. Their socks are a slightly better length on me than the AP ones I have and they don't slide down as much.
>How often do you buy new socks just for a coord?
Occasionally, but most of my dresses are simpler prints or oldschool, so a lot of socks match them.
>Do you try to buy socks that will match with multiple items of your wardrobe?
I try, but it's not my priority.
>have you ever brought a main piece just because you like the socks form the release?
This years lucky pack, actually. I wanted the black set but I ended up buying the pink because I wanted the pink socks.
>do you have a dream pair of socks?
I'd love to have the Vanilla-chan socks, but I've kinda given up on them.

>How many socks do you have?
around 50 including non lolita socks, around half of that are lolita appropriate and only 11 are brand.
>Where do you get most of your socks? Brand/taobao/tutu anna/off brand ect.
All of my brand socks bar one are ap, I have ordered a few from mufish and want to get more from them. I picked up some from Tutuanna when I was in Japan and might do a big order from them soon. For anyone in aus cotton on usually have cute pairs and on occasion thigh highs that work for casual j fash and sometimes otome, dangerfeild too, they both tend to be a bit shorter than you would want for ankle socks though.
>Who is your favourite brand for socks?
ap are great because I wear sweet so they suit my wardrobe the best and have interesting designs, but I am fat so they get stretched out easily. I have one Emily Temple cute pair that are super stretchy so I may look into getting more in the future.
>How often do you buy new socks just for a coord?
I very rarely buy socks with a coord in mind because I just fall in love with socks so easily.
>Do you try to buy socks that will match with multiple items of your wardrobe?
Sort of, but I am obsessed with brown socks even though I only have one brown main piece, which still has the tags on.
>have you ever brought a main piece just because you like the socks from the release?
No but if I was more financially comfortable probably.
>do you have a dream pair of socks?
I'd love to own the sugar fairy crew length socks in both pink and yellow.

Isn't it too cold there in Russia?

I feel sorry for you, anon.

what do u mean?

Do only select stores get quality faux fur? The only times I've seen fur that wasn't scratchy thin garbage was like 5+ years ago.

>>8847209
My store started getting good fur last year. It's pretty expensive though so most people still just buy the pubes-on-burlap kind.
Unfortunately the good quality stuff still only comes in hideous colors and franken-animal prints.

>>8847209
I work at Joanns and we just got in some new fur with the cosplay line that's really nice. It is however 40$/yd which is crazy. But if you break out the coupons it's not so bad

sorry if any threads are missing, I tried.

what's your comm planning for Valentine's?

>>8843746
We're going to have a cute little meet up at a cafe and exchange valentine's. I'm excited..One of my good friends is throwing it. Hopefully none of the annoying girls show up.

>>8843746
Potluck tea party. There was a gift exchange that was going to happen, but only two people signed up for that part since the host said it wasn't mandatory, so I'm not even sure that part's going to happen. Too bad.

If you're gonna start a thread at least dump some pics, anon.

She says she's happy with this coord...Try again.
The flower crown is too huge and the flower tights don't match the theme of the dress at all. But at least the colors don't look super jarring so I'll give her that.

>>8843391
The meme crown and matching tights kill it for me

Not a fan of the wig or tights.

Perfect timing. Did bodyline stop making their oxford style shoe? I can't find it anywhere on their new site

They discontinued a lot of their shoes so it might have been.

This used to be one of my dream dresses but... I don't care anymore.

>>8838465
Did this need its own thread? Keep it in the general.

>ordered the bat bag from the first MTO months ago
>have seen multiple bags go up for sale since
Why the fuck am I being made to wait then? That's bullshit.

Selfpost.
First group I ever did with my homies.
Also, best fighting game

Hello, yes I am here to self post

insta, Youtube, and Tumblr : Honeysweetprincess

I'm posting my 2016 wardrobe video later if you're interested.

>>8836853
I really like lacealamode.com and kiznakasady.blogspot.ca

desu it's really infuriating that shannie hasn't made a youtube chanel yet her wardrobe and interior decorating skills are to die for

Are you wanting to be a reseller or a creator? There are a lot of creators on here that run their own businesses (check out the AA thread and archived AA threads on rebeccablacktech for some great discussions), and there are at least a couple of resellers/dealers as well.

>>8836797
I was going to start out a reseller, but hopefully I can become a creator.

I wanted to start by selling cute clothing, but nothing too crazy like some of the store-envy stuff.

>>8836805
Tethered are so many resellers already. What will set your store apart? That's definitely something you'll want to think about.

>>8835880
don't

I think they sound like an entitled brat so I don't give two shits about how they dress. They can fuck right off.

>>8835880
>Opinions on this?

no.

No is my opinion on this.

Shoehorning in shoes that don't go with anything by adding on awkwardly placed cheap ribbon is a bad idea.

PostApoc dude here who posted the first few NERF blasters in the other thread. Just finished a rampage with some new paints and techniques. I like this better than my previous work. (See old thread) The light is washing out alot of the orange rust, it's more obvious in real life.

>>8829682
I was gonna say, it looks unfinished. Like something that was used a lot but only in sterile environments, steel corridors, not a speck of dirt.

I'd give it some more wear and pitting with browns and reds.

Might just be the camera though.

Got a horizontal pump-grip in the mail and can use the worker stock from my AK on it, too.

Here's my getup so far, I've wrapped my armor in chicken-wire and ties a bunch of crap to it to form some kinda ghetto-ghillie. I'm aiming for a STALKERish wasteland survivalist who goes out looking for cool junk to come back and trade with. So, the camo is supposed to hide me from natural (or un-natural) predators rather than other wastelanders. Thoughts? Looking at it now, it still needs to be filled out some more.

>>8828677
Gimme a sec and I'll do a dump, I'll try and say why I like all of the coords I post!

I like the mature aspect of this coord, the more muted accessories make it much more toned down but still looks really nice and fancy!

I think my favourite part of this is the huge puffball hairclip, I think it adds a little bit of fun to a really nice, simple coord!

Wheres the fun in that

>>8826899
Mystery?

Eh, cheaper to wear shorts. Or panties over your tights over your actual panties, if you're trying to be accurate.

>>8825306

I'm working.

Shit sucks because it's CNY too. That'll teach me to look more closely at my work schedule next year.

I'll be lucky if I can just pull a regular meet with some card exchanging and candy at a local spot.
