This is the first of two Bibliotheca theme posts I'm doing for this rotation: I recommended both themes, so I feel duty-bound to speak on both farewells and soup. I'm a big soup person: I love calling coffee and other such concoctions soup.
I recommended soup with the intention of discussing the most important lolita soup of all: laundry. Wash your damn clothes.
And I'm mad about it.

The past couple of weeks have been rough.

Fashion is a solace in this trying time-- moreover, it has given us all important skills for the future.
