30 Day: Day 10 : What’s in your bag?

Since the last post was so short, I decided to do this one today, too! (Also, it'll probably be pretty short, too.)

1. 3 receipts

2. My Totoro wallet

3. An audio cable

4. The working part of my radio (my car radio is one of those where the front part comes off.)

5. An emergency phone charger

6. A pen

7. Two mechanical pencils

8. An old church bulletin

That's it! Nothing terribly exciting, I'm sorry.  

52 Week: My wardrobe turnover...

... Is not very high!

I'm still in the building stages of my wardrobe, and so it'll be a very long time before anything is sold. But right now, so that I can get things and still have actual money, I'm aiming for at least 1 new dress a year, and then I can get smaller pieces like blouses or socks/shoes or accessories to bulk up my wardrobe a touch.

30 Day: Day 9 : 10 things you will never do in lolita.

Hmmm... I'm not a big fan of "never" as far as fashion goes, so this is my "likely never's" but it could change. Keep in mind, this is based off of what I personally don't like/don't think looks good on me. There are a lot of prints and styles that look absolutely fantastic on other people, but that I wouldn't wear myself.

1. Wear food prints. (I don't wear it out of lolita either...)

2. Wear makeup prints. (Again, not a fan of it on me.)

3. Wear super bright/colorful wigs (Other people look super cute, though! I prefer natural colors for me)

4. Use elaborate makeup (although this could change)

5. Go very OTT on anything (It's just not my style)

6. Wear big headresses (I like to keep mine a little more low key)

7. Wear lolita to an amusement park (I can see why other people do it... but I'd be too nervous!)

8. Wear super high heeled shoes (the heels I have are tall enough)

9. Wear shoes with a lot of straps (this is mostly because of my lymphedema... I really can't wear lots of straps!)

10. Spend over $200 on a dress. Full coordinate, maybe, but once the price hits the $200 mark, I start thinking of all the other things I could do with the money/other lolita items I could spend the money on.

30 Day: Day 8: 10 songs that inspire you for lolita

Some of these are more commonly found in lolita, but quite a few of these inspire me because of the tone, or the happy way the song makes me feel.

1. "Girls, Why?" by VIXX and OKDAL

2. "Yumeno Haijima Ring Ring" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

3. "Starlight" by VIXX

4. "G.R.8.U" by VIXX

5. "Cherry Bon Bon" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

6. "Stop It" by B.A.P

7. "3.6.5" by EXO

8. "START: DASH" by Muse (Love Live anime)

9. "Hello/How are You?" by Miku Hatsune

10. "Hug Me Once" by Girls Day

52 Week: Favorite thing to put on my head

Ah, another short one! Sorry guys!

Right now, I kid you not, these are all of my headpieces... well, almost all of them, I have a beret that's not pictured. That's one of my goals for the future, is to get more bows and bonnets and hats and wigs.

My favorite bow is my pink one! It matches my shoes pretty perfectly, and I can use it with all of my dresses. I also like my wig a lot, but I haven't been wearing it as frequently.

30 Day: Day 7 : 10 people who inspire your lolita style.

I didn't skip day six, what'cha talkin' 'bout? *cough*

1. Princess Peachie! She's probably the person who's inspired me the most, even though I don't really consider myself a sweet Lolita, but she's so genuine and kind and happy and I love all her videos and I end up watching them over and over again.

2. Lovely Lor. She's inspired me in pretty much the same way Peachie has, only with Lor it's also very much her sense of humor, and how fun and funny her videos are.

3. Averie, from Lolita Tips on Tumblr. Without her help, I'd still be as lost as a goose in a hailstorm. (I hope I've spelled her name right!!)

4. Kyary, as in Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

5. M. Alice LeGrow. She's the author of one of my absolute favorite manga series, Bizenghast. It was one of the first manga I read, and I got to meet her at my first convention (she was actually why I went.) She's been the inspiration of a lot of different crafty things, actually.

6. My mom. She's the one who helped me pick out my first dress, and really gave me the parental support I needed to feel comfortable with starting out. She also gave me one of my dresses, helped me with the finer points of making my skirt, and has listened to me cry either in person or on the phone about my sewing machine breaking more times than I care to count.

7. My sparkle heart/best friend. She's not a Lolita, but she's been the most amazing best friend anyone could possibly ask for. She gives me confidence just to be myself, even if that self makes people roll their eyes, and has helped shape so many things about me that I don't think I'd be the same person otherwise.

8. My anime club advisor. I go to church with him, and he is one of the nicest men you will ever meet in your life. He has no clue what anime is, or what Lolita is, but he is excited about everything our club does, from fundraisers to random activities, and he has the ability to tell me that I look nice, just when I was thinking that maybe Lolita wasn't a good idea today.

9 and 10 are for my friends down in Galveston. I'm trying not to name names, but all my friends are so supportive and genuinely kind people, who stay with/deal with/put up with me even when I do blindingly stupid things.

30 Day: Day 5 : 10 items from your wishlist

All pictures are from Lolibrary unless otherwise stated! These are in no particular order!

1. Innocent World's "Carousel of Paris" High Waist JSK

2. White Moon's "Cloud of Blue Classic Moments" OP (Picture from their Taobao shop) Unfortunately this is a pretty far off dream, since they don't take custom measurements anymore.

3. "Dance of the Black Cats" JSK II

4. Innocent World's "Delft Lotta" in blue. (This is one of my dream dresses!)

5. Ergi's "Sleipnir" JSK (The picture is from their website, I was unable to get the full one) I'm planning on ordering this one this summer!

6. White Moon's "Forest Symphony" JSK in green (Picture from Qutieland) Fun fact: I was ordering this JSK and it's matching headbow when my shopping service told me that White Moon no longer took custom measurements. Because of this it's become one of my dream dresses.

7. The Snow Field's "Librarian" skirt

8. Innocent World's "Music Series Torchon Lace" JSK

9. Innocent World's "Royal Library" High Waist JSK. Any color would be amazing!

10. White Moon OP. Picture from their website... and yes, it's another far off dream!
