hemipteraWell... here it is!
Day 9 – 10 things you will never do in lolita.
work, garden, travel, cut out fabric, play with fire, etc... pretty much anything dirty, dangerous or uncomfortable. Pretty much the only thing I do in lolita is chill out in my room reading, playing on my computer and sometimes sewing or knitting. Occasionally walking around town to get tea or to the library. I want to do more, maybe make an antique shop day or something.
Day 10 – What’s in your bag?
My wallet, keys, chapstick, phone, birth control, heart meds, hanky, mini lint roller and lotion. Looking in there right now there's two pairs of earrings too haha. If I'm going somewhere far or for long and I have a bigger bag, then a book, some yarn and my DSI. My daily bag is just a plain black shoulder bag. I recently got a la lucie bag and it is so much huger than i thought it would be. I should do a post on how much that thing can fit.
Day 11 – One day in your lolita life in pictures.
I planned to wear lolita today and just putz around, but today was a moderately bad fatigue/brain fog day so i just chilled in bed in comfy clothes.
In the morning I got some mail I wasn't expecting so soon, so i opened that up and tried it on. Everything fits! This MM bustier had been sitting on mercari for months now and i thought it was a little expensive, but I went for it anyways. The boz skirt i saw and LOVED it but it was over the limit i let myself spend on singular pieces. Then it got marked down on sale! I was waiting and looking for more things to get in this order, but I wasn't really feeling anything. I wouldn't say I've been uninterested in lolita exactly, but i don't have that same impulsivity and enthusiasm that i used to. That, or I'm just more realistic about what I'll actually wear.
I made myself a small salad and laid in bed for quite a while. took some pain pills and rolled around a little collecting dust and cobwebs. Got enough energy to put some laundry away and my new clothes. My wardrobe corner is looking so cute lately, but very heavily lolita/ega/j fashion even though i don't wear any of this often at all. The other day boyfriend came over and i told him to choose an outfit for me and i pointed at 3/4ths of my clothing rack and said you can choose anything except all that stuff. I haven't told him about my lolita hobby other than sending him some magazine pages and some really old coords of mine/cropped shots of coords, talking about buying stuff off japanese sites. I imagine it just looks like fancy/going out clothes to him so maybe he wasn't weirded out. I did send him a lolibrary link once though for a dress i was gonna buy and later he was like... did you see it said LOLITA? hahaha I'd feel weird about "coming out" as "a lolita", so I think my method is fine for now.
(everything to the left of the blue is my daily clothes, to the right is my egl wardrobe)
I got back into bed, rolled around some more then got out to dilly dally some on my laptop. I was watching stargate, but that didn't look so cute so i pulled up the hospitality doll calendar. I'm thinking of redrawing it!
I tried to counteract the brain fog by going outside for a bit. The grapes really fuck with the lilacs, so I'm gonna need to cut them down to 2-3 single vines again over winter like i did a couple years ago.
It's 10 pm now and ive just been fiddling around on my computer, updating my wardrobe spreadsheet and writing this out. went through the randomly named text documents in my lolita folder on my laptop and i found a random 10 question prompt thing so i might do that next! I know I want to refilm the old school lolita tag, because i had no energy to edit it and that was months ago and i've sold some of the things i had in it even though i say in the video i never want to get rid of them soooo... it's irrelevant now.
I feel like i was very chatty today, probably because i barely left my room. I'm going to go have a very lolita shower, and go to sleep in my lolita bed.
