i love these threads for letting me do everything my faggoty little heart desires

>i was going to post this in the mail thread but i feel you guys would appreciate it more
>sweet jesus im going to be broke at the end of the month

I have no bills to pay except for gas in my car, so about 75% of my paycheck goes towards lolita. So, roughly, $200 a month on Lolita?

I impulse buy sometimes, I did it with Nameless Poem and kinda regret it.

I need to work on a taobao order so I can get some bags and shoes, since I'm pretty limited.

My wardrobe is split 50/50 between AP and indie/bodyline purchases.

I see something I like, I ask if it'll work well in my wardrobe, then go from there.

>impulse bought first Burundo a year ago

How do you determine when to buy something or not?
Say you find a really good price for a dress you've had your eye on for a while. But you've already used up all of your designated hobby money, or it's only the beginning of the new month.
This keeps happening to me. I always find good deals for good pieces, but I've only got a little left in my lolita budget. I just take the extra out of my savings, but it's getting a little ridiculous.
Obviously you have to decide with how much you like it, resale value, usual price. But it's tough in...

>>What's your monthly/quarterly/annual budget?

around 150 euros now I've started school again

>>How do you decide which things to buy?

I decide on price and size especially and sometimes I'm looking for items to complete coords

>>Do/did you ever buy on impulse? If so, did you regret it?

yes and yes. I've a mild shopping addiction. I don't get into debts because...

About that profession group being talked about from the last thread:

Totally into that idea. As shitty as facebook is, it does give the widest reach, and easiest platform. And allows for similar people to discover the group.

Good job anon, this can help newbies who come in here.

My fav collab piece is AP x Wish Me Mell Tea time Jsk. It is pretty adorable.

my favourite collabs are probably metamorphose x macross frontier, btssb x koitsukihime and aatp x akira

i own one of the koitsukihime collab pieces, it's gorgeous and exactly what i wanted it to be

good for him

as long as it is a guy, it's alright.
I hate it when girls do it though.

Dude, that's awesome!

I'm really glad to hear it! Thank you!

When I'm wandering around, someone better make some really bad jokes at me or this whole thing will just be a wash.

Yeah Florida sucks pretty hard. Too many conventions competing against each other with only one or two actually trying to offer anything unique. Plus all the tiny cons that pop up and try to establish themselves as a big convention before they've even started.

Are there any decent cons in south florida around Halloween time?

I had to miss UmiCon, was it really that bad?

Have you tried Lady Sloth? I know her underskirts are made of chiffon and she has lots of options for her chiffon underskirts and chiffon and cotton under skirts with an additional option for custom colors.

>>8707766
No I haven't, thank you, I'll look into it! :D

Alright then, now that you're question has been answered and you killed a thread how about we make this into a general "where can I find x item" thread instead?

link to store? google isn't helping me and i've never heard of it.

>>8705315
Yes. There are no tags inside whatsoever.

Good to know, thank you!

Petition for photographers to get their shit together and tell people when their wigs are messy

>>8669146
Fucking this

>>8669146
There's so much stuff photographers need to let people know.

>wigs are mess
>wig cap showing
>parts on costumes are crooked
>petticoats or other parts are peaking out when they're not suppose to
>jewelry is backwards(like a pendant that's flipped over)
