Bibliotheca: Farewells

This is my last post of 2024, so it only seems right to make it about farewells. Once again, this is a Bibliotheca theme post. This time, I'm going to extend it past fashion topics and into the realm that got me into this mess to begin with: conventions.

Influencers seem to have a role in so many fashion ecosystems, yet the lolita community doesn't really support this niche.
