My Lolita Fashion Timeline and How I've Improved!

This was something I felt like I should show everyone. As some of us do start out as the dreaded 'itas' and a lot of us young Lolitas have very little money to spend on such decadent clothing. We all make mistakes, yet sometimes mistakes are meant to be made so we can learn from them. With effort and willingness to learn, everyone will eventually get there, no matter how horrible you started out. 

My start into Lolita Fashion wasn't all the best, but I learnt from my mistakes and have made a huge improvement. I haven't much of a budget to spend on Lolita, nor much confidence to wear the clothes, yet this is something that I love and will continue doing. Hopefully as time goes by, my outfits will get better and I will slowly have more of a wardrobe.

Supanova Sydney, 2014

About two weeks ago I went to Supanova Pop Culture Expo. I have been going to Supanova for quite some years now, and it gets better every year (the crowd seems to increase as well ^^').

I went with a few friends, and I took lots of pictures. It was an absolute blast talking to different Cosplayers and Lolita's, and seeing so many different things. I ended up spending too much without realising it, but I'm glad I did as I love everything that I bought.

The highlight of the day would be the RWBY Maid Cafe hosted by Hanabee. It was my first time in any type of Maid Cafe, and I found it to be a lot of fun. Being a huge fan of the show added to the experience. The food wasn't very filling, but it tasted amazing. I would upload the group picture from the cafe, but I don't have all my friends permission to upload it.

I was really happy with how my coordinate turned out as well. Funny enough I ran into someone with the same dress in the exact same colour way. She was a really sweet girl, and complimented me on how I coordinated my dress. I wish I got a photo with her now, and more of a chance to talk with her. I ran into her again on my way towards catching the train home, and managed to ask how her day went just before leaving.

I spotted a No Face in the crowd

I found this amazing Princess Serenity and had to ask for a photo

Your Favourite Three Pairs of Shoes for Lolita- LBC

This weeks theme for the Lolita Blog Carnival is 'Your Favourite Three Pairs of Shoes for Lolita'. Unfortunately I don't own any tea parties or Lolita specific shoes, but I do own many pairs of offbrand shoes that still work just as well. I hope to eventually get a pair of black and a pair of pink tea parties, as I obviously cannot keep wearing pink ballet flats with my one Sweet coord.

The Lazy Lolita!

Sure we all know about casual Lolita....but what about days when you just feel too lazy to dress up. Sometimes you can't wear Lolita for practical reasons either, such as doing sport, or attending a social event where it's not allowed. When you can't wear Lolita, what do you do?

Whether you wear Lolita all the time or on occasion, sometimes it's hard to always dress up when you feel the urge. As let's face it, Lolita isn't the most practical fashion out there. After a long day of work you might just feel too tired to get into your frills, or maybe you went out to lunch with a friend in Lolita and want to get into something comfortable as soon as you get home. What if you're sick and just need to stay in bed all day? Sometimes you just can't bear the wigs or annoying hairstyles, the head eating bows, and the space devouring petticoats, and you just want to feel comfortable....yet you still want to look cute or feel elegant right?

There's always the option of trying other Japanese Fashions. You could try out Fairy Kei or Mori girl for example. Or maybe a Lolita inspired outfit? You could wear a cutsew with a pair of jeans or a causal skirt. Or maybe even wear a Lolita dress as just a dress. You could buy an underskirt to wear underneath if you feel like you need another layer.

If you want a more comfortable approach you could try buying some room wear. I know Bodyline sold some ages ago, and hopefully they'll do it again. Room wear is basically clothes that are meant for wearing around the house, and are intended for comfort. You can get some really cute looking room wear online that you could wear to bed or around the house on days when you just want to stay at home.

Another really neat idea is to buy a dress form. If you aren't able to wear Lolita or don't feel in the mood to, you could just dress it up instead. This will help you with that urge to dress up, and give your room a little Lolita inspiration.

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party!

I went to a friends tea party today, and it was a lot of fun. There was so much nice food that I wish that I could have eaten more, but I became full very quickly. As you can see from the photo's the whole party is beautifully done, and  I commend them for doing a wonderful job. I had such great time today, and it was a chance to catch up with friends that I hadn't seen in a long time.

Outfit Of The Day!

Shoes- offbrand
Skirt- Bodyline
Blouse- AnnaHouse
Petticoat- Dear Celine Frothy Petticoat II

Well here's a random outfit post. I shall try to do more little random posts when I can, as I have so little time to do actual in depth blog posts now days.

As usual I had dressed in Lolita for the anime club I attend at the local library. Considering I wear Lolita most times the club is on, and some people cosplay and also wear alternative fashion, I'd assumed that everyone who went to the library was used to it by now. Although I was wrong it seems, as we must have had a newcomer in the library this night as I got asked a very odd question.

Usually I get odd looks when I'm shopping with friends from people at school and that's usually about it. Sometimes I even get compliments which baffles and surprises me, as I have always expected negative outcomes...

Tonight though I got the dreaded "Are you going to a play?"

I have heard this response so many times on the internet from other Lolita's saying they get it all the time, yet surprisingly I have never had this asked before. I felt a little downcast from this response to be honest, as surely Lolita isn't that strange that you assume it only to be appropriate for a play. I have been feeling rather down in confidence lately to be honest, as much as I love this fashion, people still find it so strange. What is so wrong with me wanting to dress in cute clothes.

I know the random guy was just curious, and I politely responded with "no this is how I usually dress". Although it still somewhat upsets me somehow that people seem so confused by my clothing. I like to dress this way because it makes me happy, but I hate attention.

Other than that I had a great night, we even played hide & go seek in the library. In the photo of my outfit I was hiding in the disabled toilets with a friend during the game.

What was the most negative response you have had in Lolita? Have you ever had one of those days where even if you expected the response, you just felt so unhappy at a strangers comment? Talk about your experience of wearing Lolita out in public in the comments below.

Mr Yan Body Pillow Anyone?

For those who don't know who the infamous Mr Yan is, he is the bad English speaking owner of Bodyline. He has numerous rumors about him floating around on the internet for his sketchy behavior and his liking to prey on young innocent girls as well as many other things. Here is an example.

And hilariously enough, there is an event on Facebook asking if we want a body pillow made of this guy. I'm not sure if this is legitimate or just a funny troll, but I am both in hysterics and equally creeped out by this. Either this guy has the biggest ego ever, or he thinks he's hilarious.

This event has been going for a while, and has already finished. We have yet to discover if this is a real event or not, and to see if he will actually make body pillows of himself for everyone who wants one.

What do you think of this event? Do you find it funny? Hilarious? Disturbing and creepy? Do you believe that it's a real event?

Here are some hilarious posts from the event...
