Nothing too special but here is what I wore for Christmas. Of course I had to wear Christmas colors though and my candy cane chucks.

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 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...

Gothic Zoo Boo Meet / Halloween

In October our community had a meet up at the local zoo. It was supposed to be a Gothic meet up but since I didn't have any Gothic clothes I threw together a Halloween coord with a kinda punk feel to it.

My awesome HLC ladies <3

Look at all that black

XD

I love how they had decorations throughout. It made it that much more festive, though it was a kinda rainy day.

I love pictures like this ^^

Cute Monkey

LOL

Markie loves Elephants <3

And here's my coord. I ended up dying my skirt (which was originally black and off-white) to purple so that I could get a more witchy feel to it. It was my first time dying something and I had the misstep of the fact that some of the lace was not all cotton so it dyed a more lavendar color than purple. I was lucky enough to find some lavendar tulle and ribbon (the day before) so that I could kinda balance out my coord. I was literally sewing a few hours before the meet so that I could pull everything together. lol

Blouse: Bodyline

Skirt: Bodyline (modified)

Accessories: Handmade / Offbrand

I ended up recycling this coord for Halloween with some minor changes XD I wore it all day long and even went reverse trick-or-treating in it.

Not sure why the coloring is off on this picture

Overall I had an awesome time as usual with my HLC buddies. And I can't wait to have more time to make and customize more things for my ever expanding wardrobe. Have y'all ever made or customized anything to work with your coord? I'd love to hear and even see some pictures ^^

Easter Coord

I'm way behind on my posts and since it's the New Year I'm just going to dump alot of them back to back and try to somewhat catch up. For this one I'm going way back since I got the pictures from my friend not too long ago. I wore this for a be-lated birthday / Easter family get together back in April. So I went with pastels, rabbits and chucks for comfort. Here are some of the shots my friend took.

 

JSK: Handmade (bought off EGL)

Blouse / Headbow: Bodyline

Socks: Target

Shoes: Converse

Ears/Hair Bows: Handmade

It really was such a fun day. I love hanging out with my family ^^

Mother's Day

Just a quick post this time ;) For Mother's day this year we had a small little gathering at my big sister's place for an outdoor movie night. I decided to dress in a casual Lolita outfit for the occasion because I really wanted to feel festive but still comfortable, since we weren't doing much.

 

 And here's my coord ^^

Dress: Handmade (bought off Etsy)
Top: Marshall's
Jacket: American Eagle
OTKs: Bodyline
Shoes: Angelic Pretty

And a picture of me and my Mommy. I freakin love this woman so much <3<3<3

It was a fun night and I was really happy that my mommy and big sister loved the gifts I made them; which was photo albums with pictures I had taken years earlier. I didn't fill them all the way but I still have lots more pictures so I'll be saving them for future gifts, huhu. That's it for this one ^^;
