I had an absolutely wonderful day today! I went to the cat cafe earlier today and it was a blast!!! Also, I’ve been getting back into pinterest which is perfect for today’s challenge!
Tag: 365 lifestyle Lolita challenge
Doing this nowadays is easy as pie! I can go to a variety of social media websites and see coords! I actually kind of do this on a semi regular basis, I kind of live by the motto if you have something nice to say, say it! People don’t hear nearly enough positive things about themselves and I have found in my experience people love it when you genuinely compliment their style. It is validating to hear something they like and chose for themselves is something others might like too! I love scrolling on closet of frills, daily egl and Instagram for inspiration! I love seeing experimental and well established coords although my favorites are casual Lolita and 2010 sweet to see.
I actually haven’t been keeping up with new releases due to trying to avoid fomo and stick to my New Years resolution and not buying any main pieces this year. However I will share my dream dress!!! I really really want Spooky Macarons from Lady Sloth in Orange
This one is kind of sad given the current state of things, but to my surprise there’s an upcoming socially distanced winter festival! Sadly I’ll be working but it warms my heart to see that something will still be going on despite everything I just hope that everyone participating stays safe. Hopefully sledding and walking through a snow maze won’t pose too much of a risk
I wore a perfume I’ve had for a long time today! I wore Juste une Baiser from Fragonard, I got it when I was in France in middle school on a people to people trip. It was really fun!! It’s a really light scent. I don’t normally wear perfume though, I like the idea of it but it’s an extra step in my routine that I just never remember. I’d love to try some sweeter perfumes in the future though. I really like the Strawberry Poundcake bath and body works lotion so there’s a chance I’d like a stronger scent
This is something I am admittedly terrible at! I sit in weird and awkward ways and since I didn’t have work today this was a real challenge! I did my best but I wouldn’t say I succeeded, when I’m lounging at home I am a lot more found of sitting like a pretzel, although at work and events I like to think I have pretty decent posture it’s entirely situational for me personally
I love doing this on a regular basis! I love just going through the egl tags on Instagram and just finding specific things to love! I always appreciate those who find the little details in their dresses to highlight, I think it’s so sweet and wonderful when lolitas are able to have like a relationship with their dress in how carefully they coord it, one of the girls in my comm is always amazing and has a great attention to detail in all of her coords and it always amazes me! I’m actually pretty lazy as far as lolitas go I think, I wear it daily so I think I only put that amount of effort into it for tea parties and events! I think it’s also great to look at other coords for inspiration and new ways to try things! I love getting inspiration for simple straight hair hairstyles since I have pin straight hair and it takes forever to curl
Oooo!! I love the idea of a parlor game! I wonder if I can find one that would work well for a virtual meet, I’ll pop over to good ol google to find out more.
A Few 19th-Century Parlor Games to Amuse You While You’re Stuck at Home
So I found a link to some games!! Most of these work better in person but I think you could play The Mole over discord or zoom since all you have to do is ask people if they know if you’ve seen the mole but you have to close your eyes every time you answer. I think I might propose we play that next time there’s a virtual meet I can attend! Or at my birthday party!
So it’s Valentine’s Day! Sadly I am apart from my darling today due to us both working long shifts today but I can’t wait to see him this evening. I met him our freshman year of college and we started dating pretty much right away after knowing each other for about two weeks. The first day I met him and talked to him we actually didn’t sleep we stayed up all night talking to each other because we liked each other so much. It was super sweet and like a fairytale. We’ve been together for almost 5 years now! That’s so incredible to me honestly, I proposed to him back in March, sadly the wedding planning has been on hold due to the global pandemic. When he met me I was just starting to seriously get into Lolita Fashion but he encouraged me the whole way and even bought me two of my main pieces once for Christmas and once for our anniversary. He is so incredibly supportive of all of my alternative hobbies and shares his interests with me as well! He actually has started dipping his toes into alternative fashion too and it is taking all of my strength not to spoil him rotten with pastel goth things.
