I got my first binder this week!! I was way more excited about than I realized I would be! I accidentally wore it for a bit longer than a beginner user of a binder probably should. I loved what it did for my silhouette in Lolita fashion. Due to my bust which is now 43” and a 36I, I often have trouble getting the bottom heavy silhouette and can make it the most attention grabbing part of my outfit even when I don’t want it to be. Here’s an example of one of the outfits I wore recently with my binder
My binder doesn’t make my chest flat by any means but it did make my blouse fit better and not have that annoying gap. I think my current one may be slightly big since I took the advice and erred on ordering a bigger size for safety’s sake. I hope the smaller one I have in the mail will work well for cosplay.
I got the GC2B tank binder and it was surprisingly comfortable, I’m also really happy I took the advice of going to a commercial safe binder instead of trying a diy method which would have been very unsafe.
Wearing this binder made it feel like I could make my body less of the focus and the clothing more of the main attraction, I will say to be safe since my first time wearing it I liked it so much I accidentally wore it a little longer than I should have.

I want to write more on this blog this year! Far too many of my favorite blogs I read when I first joined lolita fashion have been disappearing and I feel traditional blogging is an important part of our subcultures history.
One of these blogs is what I am pulling from for many of my posts this year! I plan on participating in the 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge from Lace a la mode!
Without further ado!!! My goal for my wardrobe this year is to get some leg wear!! I have pretty well filled out getting blouses and shoes this year however I am still lacking quite a bit in the leg wear department. I have recently acquired cream and white knee socks but at the moment it is all that is workable in my wardrobe. I have a bad tendency of losing socks
I also want to get better at caring for my clothes overall, it’s something that I struggle a lot with. Hopefully that will make it so I lose less of my socks going forward, I use to have a pretty full collection of ankle socks before I lost the majority of them.
I have been extremely busy this month! I’ve been doing Vlogmas on my YouTube channel and have yet to miss a day! I’m really proud of keeping on top of it. I also just started a new job. It’s my first time doing overnights so I’m a little nervous. It’ll be good though.
Vlogmas has helped keep me occupied my first holiday season living on my own. It’s been a bizarre year. I was absolutely delighted when I saw that there was a vaccine being distributed earlier today. I know it’ll still be awhile before things can go back to normal but it feels like hope on the horizon
I’ve been keeping holiday spirits up decorating around the house and calling family and friends. I’m happy that I don’t usually feel alone. In some ways I feel more connected than ever and I am so grateful for that.
I had a little bit of a hard time with my life transition and stress ordered a lot of blouses. At least I got wardrobe staples this time 
After finishing watching a long slew of Princess Peachie videos, videos from when Pixielocks still wore Lolita Fashion, and reading ParfaitDoll through the wayback machine. I realized that I have been really embracing the 2010 sweet aesthetics that I adored when I first discovered Lolita Fashion on the internet when I was a teenager. I think clinging on to things that gave me comfort before can be helpful, especially when I had to catch myself looking at triggering content for two days before I realized I was doing it. Nostalgia seems the much healthier alternative, the bright colors and familiarity just warms my heart and emulating the idols who helped me get through some of the hardest times in my life in my existing memory has brought me more peace that I could have realized. I love seeing people embrace the things they love and I should be more careful not to deny myself of that.
In the past week I am delighted that I have finally figured out the perfect way to do heatless curls for my high pigtails, although I should get one of those classic twin tail wigs at some point. I also want to create more moodboards and allow myself to really dive into living the lolita lifestyle more. I had been really burned out from work and living in a pandemic but going wild and saying you know what a lace headdress and false lashes are okay for work if it’s a saturday has helped me remain excited about life when things seem really bleak. Lolita has always been this way for me but I think it’s exaggerated with everything going on.
Here’s the coord I wore to work today!
I have ADHD something I’m pretty open about on my social media but this is something that makes caring for my Lolita clothes pretty difficult from time to time and I wanted to share practical advice for making your life easier when you are taking care of your Lolita fashion clothes
1.) Have two laundry baskets, one for clothes that can go through the washer no problem and one for handwash only clothing that way you don’t accidentally ruin petticoats or brand
2.) Don’t be afraid of the washer for more sturdy pieces, but when in doubt line dry.
3.) On that note, have a place where you can easily hang things to dry, I’m blessed to have a porch with a clothesline but if you don’t have that invest in a drying rack that you can set next to a sunny window
4.) Get a clothing steamer, mini iron and ironing board and be sure to store it near your wardrobe so you will actually use it
5.) Pick one day of the week to accomplish hand washing tasks and stick to it that way your brand doesn’t sit in a ball for weeks on end
6.) Don’t be afraid to go professional with more tricky pieces
