Detailing the Closet: Part 1 - My most cherished pieces

 Happy Thursday!! Today has been a very off dayfor me, but I want to keep trying to blog to give myself something to do in the evenings when I don't have plans. I was kind of hoping I was going to be able to blog about a purchase I made earlier this month, but that hasn't come in yet! (Nor... do I know if it ever will lmao 😅)

But, instead of doing my typical thursday night window shopping, I thought I'd take some time to appreciate some of the items I already have! I have a lot of items in my closet, so I figured I'd start with documenting them a bit at a time. 

Today's items all have one thing in common: they're my most cherished pieces! These are in no specific order, I have a deep love for all of them! 

First, we have this BEAUTIFUL MA*RS dress. I got this back in 2022, during my searching, I had saw someone list this on Fril/Rakuma for a... bit pricier than other MA*RS items at the time. But I was really drawn to it. The fur trim, the huuuuge bow, and the length of the dress all just called out to me. I know there is a pink version, but in second hand gyaru buying, I know that's pretty rare these days. I was so happy when I got it, and I think this dress honestly started waking up the idea that I want to dress like a glamourous gal more often.

This was a SHOCKING find. I had yet to see a listing for this piece before I found it. I actually found this for sale on bunjang, which was a website I was semi-familiar with as I had used it before. This is one of the dream dream dream items of mine.

I LOVE THE HEART PATTERNS... But the typically shared nightgown camisole just would not work for my chest (I have a nightgown camisole in another print and I still suffer with making it look right). I really like there is an option in a similar-esque print but in a different silhouette. I definitely am keeping my eyes out for other dresses with something similar in silhouette as I really like it.

 I actually sat on the idea of buying this Alba Rosa coat for a year. Actually, I had been keeping my eyes out on a separate listing since about January of 2023, slowly watching the price go down. Around Late Autumn 2023, the seller shot the price right back up, and then I had saw someone had bought it, and I was devastated. This colorway is my favorite of the Alba Rosa coats, and I had already owned a black and white version, and I really just loved the feeling of the coat. I ended up finding another seller who had listed theirs for a similar price, and I decided this was my 2023 christmas gift. It was overly expensive, extremely expensive. Like my week long trip to Ireland, including flight, hotel, food+drink, and activities, was about the same price I paid for this coat. I'm pretty sure my sibling's venue for their renn faire wedding cost less than this coat. But god, do I LOVE THIS DAMN COAT. I've gotten so many compliments from random folks while wearing it. I will probably never buy another Alba Rosa coat again because this one is my ride or die. 

This setup from MA*RS is super special to me because it was one of the first setups I bought for myself! I Really enjoy the heart jewel chain pattern, and I really want to work on styling this set more. I  actually saw a post on instagram of Himena in this setup!! And I need to go find it and save to try and recreate it/use it as inspiration. I also have a matching coat to wear when it gets cold in the winter. It's just such a good setup, and a good print!

And to wrap up this first part of the closet, is my dream dream dream dream dREAM DREAM setup. This actually consists of 3 pieces. I bought the jacket for pretty cheap early on, and then tried buying this setup back in 2022 and it fell through. I found someone who was selling the top and skirt, and I got them as a birthday gift to myself, and I love to wear these pieces out. If it's too cold, I'll just wear the top and jacket with some nice jeans!! This plaid pattern is supreme and I would love to collect more pieces in this print. I think there's at least 1-2 other tops and 1 other skirt out there. There's also another jacket, but it's not that different so I'm not too into finding it.

Ok! That's the first part of the closet! I won't make promises of how often I'll post these. But I hope you enjoyed!! 😆
