30 Day: Day 1: 10 Things about your Lolita bubble

I guess this is 10 things about my Lolita life in general?

1. At home, I have an absolutely wonderful community! I've been to several meetups, and I've had so much fun at each one, no matter how big or small.

2. At school, I'm a lone Lolita! It's a pretty small, conservative (all things marine, mostly science and math) campus (a little over 2000 students) so that's pretty understandable.

3. I have a very small wardrobe so far... at least I think so, until I try to take pictures of all of it! Then it seems like a good size.

4. My wardrobe grows fairly slowly. I've been into Lolita for a little over a year now, and I've got three dresses, and a skirt. I tend to only occasionally buy big things, and then thrift the rest.

5. I have very broad shoulders, so I prefer JSK's, or sleeveless OP's. Oddly enough, I'm not as fond of skirts, although that might change once I get more blouses.

6. My family is reasonably supportive of me wearing Lolita, though my mom more so. My dad thinks its strange, my aunt thinks it's neat, and I haven't shown my grandparents yet!

7. I don't own any brand pieces! I'm more of a plus-sized Lolita, and so it's difficult to find already made pieces. I'm still doing some research into it.

8. My wardrobe hovers right on that classic-sweet line.

9. I'm not very fond of food or makeup prints. I'm not sure what it is about them... I've just never been fond of them. I don't have anything with food or makeup as far as my non-Lolita clothes go either, but I'm considering making an exception for cupcakes.

10. I don't get to wear Lolita as often as I'd like, but I'm hoping to change that as my wardrobe increases!

30 Day Lolita Challenge and 52 Week Lolita Challenge

So, since it's been a while since I last posted, I've decided to do both the "30 Day Lolita Challenge" and the "52 Week Lolita Challenge" at the same time! Because school is keeping me busy, I won't be able to actually post every single day for the 30 Day, but I'm thinking that at least twice a week for that one, plus the weekly for the 52 Week, should get me going just fine! As I have time to write other posts (which, I plan on writing several during Spring Break and posting them occasionally) I'll post those as well.
