Oooooh I love how I look in this bonnet I made, haha.

I just updated my etsy store with some bows I didn’t end up selling at the convention this weekend. I’ll be putting up more tomorrow as well!

Take a look, if you’d like. ★

I made bows! Selling these at Taste of Animethon this Saturday! The ones on the left are pins, the right are hairbows!

Testing out that new headdress that I got in the gift exchange with a few things from my closet! I can see this working out real well with my items, haha. 

I just received my gift from the Lolita gift exchange!

• Handmade floral headdress
• Anime cards
• Japanese stickers and clay stickable donut, cake, chocolate charms
• Various Earl Grey teas
• Purse phone charm, rose and bow hair bobbies, metallic bow clip, bow double ring 

I was a little bit surprised to receive so much pink and sweet things, (I am very much old school sweet and classic lolita haha) but I actually love them!

I am just amazed by the headdress which is just so absolutely perfect for me! I wish I knew what what anime those cards are from, very neat art style!The japanese stickers - my gosh they’re cute! Earl Grey MILK tea OH MY GOSH YES PLEASE THANKS! The phone charm is just the cutest. I love it! That bow clip is just perfect for my gothic coords. I love the ring because it reminds me of lolita brass knuckles, haha. The bobbies are very cute too (and perfect for my short hair!) The stickables are very neat. I don’t know where I’d put these! They’re so very cute.

Overall, very happy! Thank you so much, Elly!

Hey look at me, I can be a cutey patootie too, right? Right?

Yeah I’m not used to OTT sweet lolita either, but I was so psyched when I found out my outfit matched my sister’s pony, Mintie!

In completely unrelated news, I got my table for Taste of Animethon! I’m so excited I get to sell at a con for the first time, even if it is a tiny one!

I’m looking to buy some more lolita in the upcoming months, so I made a wishlist. I wish I could just win the lottery or something and buy all of this at once, haha.

Working on a coord for my Japan trip. Yes, this trip may not be set in stone yet, but I’ll be damned if I don’t have an outfit ready for it.

I went out to see Brave last night, and it was my first time wearing not-toned-down sweet lolita in public.

It was really bizarre. 75% of the people around me at any time would be looking at me, people were asking me why I was dressed that way much more than usual, and pointing. I did get a few little girls who were just enamoured by my outfit though. One even asked if I was a Princess, and demanded to know my name. So cute!!!

I’m thinking maybe I’ll just stick to gothic and classic in public. Until I get used to wearing sweet, anyway.

Brave was amazing, btw! Go see it, so fantastic.

Yay! First coord in my meta dress! 

I wanted to experiment with wearing my bonnet as a sunhat, rather than a proper bonnet. I think it looks cute!

I quite literally have no pink in my wardrobe minus a few ribbons and off-pink shoes. I was never a pink person, but this dress made me realize how nice I look in it!

I’m contemplating whether or not I should put them up on Daily Lolita. I’m a bit nervous ever since I got major l_s/cgl criticism last time. Since I’m wearing my bonnet weird, it might be even worse. :c
