Lolitaversary - My first year of frills

I know I said I wanted to catch up on my posts before my Lolitaversary came, but of course as usual I'm too lazy and am still behind. Though I still have a lot of catching up to do today is OFFICIALLY my Lolita anniversary. One year ago today I attended my first meet up and wore Lolita for my first time (blog post on that here).


It's a day that I hope I never forget and just thinking about it right now as I type this; my heart is starting to race again and that feeling that I felt that magical day seems to not be going anywhere soon. I've heard lots of stories about Lolita, both good and bad, but to be honest I feel that most of the good stories that I've heard I can relate to. I've met so many wonderful people through this fashion. It's also really helped me become more confident in myself and the things that I like and not worrying so much about others. Because really at the end of the day, I wear my clothes for me. Not for anyone!


I've always really loved dressing up. I used to find any excuse to put on something fun or themed. I even had themed parties so that I could dress up. I thought that I needed an excuse to wear something out of the ordinary, but finding Lolita made me realize that any day could be special. I didn't have to wait for an event or a party to put on something that made me happy; but I could do that anytime I wanted (as long as it was appropriate of course). Although I didn't wear the fashion right away just looking at pictures began inspiring me to experiment with the wardrobe I had. It took me a while to finally take the leap and wear Lolita, but I don't regret it one bit. It has become one of the best decisions I've made in my life in a long time. I know I probably sound really dramatic, but I do mean it.


I don't know what all this frilly fashion has in store for me or how long I will wear it (hopefully forever), but I do know how much joy I get out of it. It might not be something I can explain very well in words but when I put on all those layers (almost like armor), I feel unstoppable. I can do anything with a smile and can even fly if I try hard enough. I really can't say this enough but if Lolita fashion is something your interested in, but your worried about trying it out. I highly recommend it. Do not let your age, weight, sex, race or any other thing deter you from doing it. And while I might not have all the answers if you need anyone to talk to please don't hesitate to contact me. I will try my best to help or maybe I know someone who might be able to as well.


Can't wait to get home, put on my frills and take the town by storm.


Until next time...

Coord 33 - Houndstooth Punk



Another casual kinda punk coord for a day out. Went out to eat and stopped at multiple half price books looking for manga.
Punk is definitely my go to style when I want to dress "casual" but I always feel that my outfits aren't straight punk because they still have a sweet touch to them. Maybe it's just me though. What do you think?
Top/Jacket: F21
Skirt: Anna House
OTKs: Emily Temple
Shoes: ASOS
Purse: Loris

Coord 31 - 32 Thanksgiving



Since I'm married I usually get to celebrate holidays x 2 *(^-^)* This is from Thanksgiving.
Thursday was spent with my husbands family and Friday with mine.
Here's what I wore to see his family. Since I'm not super close with them and I try not to "embarrass" my husband "very much" I went with all black (his favorite color) and kinda casual (I seriously had to fight the urge to wear a bonnet xP) Everyone still liked my outfit though. So that made me happy
Dress: HNMH
Blouse/Socks: Bodyline
Cardigan: H&M
Shoes: Secret Shop

Then on Friday since I didn't get to go all out the day before I decided to wear my husband's worst nightmare... SWEET LOLITA! Muahahaha
While I say that, he has gotten more comfortable with everything I wear. He just really hates pastels but I love them; so... :P
OP/Socks: Bodyline
Shoes: Secret Shop
Purse: Loris

And a picture with me actually smiling (my big sister likes these ones better)
Had a great time both days and ate ALOT! Not much more to say so until next time...
