I wore my favorite dress, Happy Garden was dress I first saw when I was 17 and finally got at 21! I have to hold myself back from wearing this dress all the time! (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖

I've been wearing lolita for about 8 years, since I was 14. I own some of my dream dresses but I'm at the point where I want to level up my lolita wardobe. I'm less focused on main pieces and more foucsed on...everything else! 

(⊙﹏⊙✿)

What Inspires Me In Lolita?

I started wearing lolita fashion in 2017, a year after one of the most iconic eras in lolita.

 2016 OTT sweets era.

However I was 14 and worked for peanuts and rebull drinks as a weekend babysitter, obviously I wasn't able to participate.

This was one of first pictures that exposed me to what lolita fashion is and I love everything about these coords. In fact, my goals and wants for my lolita wardrobe can all be identified in this photo. 

- Sweet Prints
- Boston Bags
- Parasols
- OTT Accessories 

I love this photo dearly, I even have the toy parade print in ivory! 

I love this jsk, I love this print and I love how I feel in it. This is the lolita I wanted to be when I was 14. HOWEVER there is always room for improvement. >:D

How do I want to improve as a lolita?
As of right now, I'm working on staple pieces and accessories...and more blouses, like many lolitas I have too many dresses and not enough blouses. (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Staple pieces, to me a staple piece is an item that is iconic to lolita fashion. Rocking Horse shoes, Usa and Kuma bag, tea party shoes, parasols. I want to have tea parties in almost every color, I want at least one pair of rocking horse shoes. (Red and White) ALSO I just bought my first parasol! I'm very excited about it.

Accesories, I noticed coords I loved vs coords I don't, the main reasons was accesories! IF there was a lolita with a coord that inspired me, they had loads of accesories. Brand or not, I love a good mathcing accesory. However much as I love brand, right now in my life I can't justfy spending 50+ on a necklace with a acrylic resin charm...one day.

The main gist of my goals right now are improving my the main pieces I have vs accumulating more. (ignore that I bought a new skirt recently)

Bye Bye!~
