Hello!!!!! Many many changes have been made in my life since my last post, least of which is the revelation I think I might be unable to complete a "____ day challenge" of any sort. So, since I last posted: I've shaved my head, moved cities, started going to university, I quit the 2 jobs I had, developed a new allergy and I went to the annual swap meet my local comm puts on! On top of meeting new people and making new friends and that sort of thing. Living here has taught me alot about myself and it's only been around 3 months now. Like, I'm not lazy. I'm perfectly capable of cleaning and cooking and taking care of things. I was just unable to do those sorts of things living with my extended family. And I actually do like wearing lolita still!!! I met some lolitas in town and we've become friends and that plus the swap meet refueled my love for lolita.
Recently, I decided to try the '75 hard' challenge. The basic jist of the challenge is to get dressed everyday and take a picture of your outfit. The "hard" part is that you're not allowed to buy anything new. The only part of this that I've altered is that I made a list of things I would allow myself to buy, things I've already been looking for to fill the gaps in my wardrobe. I'm 1/7th of the way though it now. It's actually kind of difficult right now, because it's been cold and rainy and I only have maybe 3 long sleeved shirts. I've also regained my groove for sewing, so I think the no-buy part will pretty easy.
I've also gotten into vintage 1930's fashion, mostly because I had a dream about cutting my hair after watching some pre-code movies. (cutting my hair lead to me eventually shaving it) Some movies I liked (not all are pre code): sisters of gion, easy living & working girls (my fave). I either found them on youtube, or tubi or rarefilmm (i watch alot on there).
I've been having a loose dream about making a lolita brand too, but the farthest I've gotten is thinking of a name. What do you think about Vivian Doll? I really love designing lolita clothing, even when I don't feel like wearing it. It's just so cute and fun! I think if I were to make clothes to sell, I'd probably make alot of shirred pieces. Other than main pieces, I would make bustiers too and crochet headwear. It would be so fun to incorporate some filet crochet into the bust area of a piece don't you think? I saw a jane marple piece with filet crochet on it and I want to remake it so bad!!! I just need to zoom in and ~enhance~....I think I can figure it out.
I've also make significant progress on my neocities! Nothing to say much there, I just have the art to make for the pages left. I think I'm going to use dithered pictures and maybe draw over them some too. My boyfriend is going to be making me music to put on the pages too! So exciting.
My lolita style has changed a bit since I've been getting back into it. I'm really into pastels particularly pinks and blues right now. I bought a rerelease of dessert op by btssb and it's adorable. We'll see if I have the confidence to wear it out! I also have a whole host of new dream dresses, particularly IW and Meta prints. They're all just so cute!!!
That's all!
