365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 30

Day 30: Tidy your closet.

I've actually been in the process of doing this right now! For the last month, I've been digging through all of my things, lolita-related or not, and doing a complete overhaul of everything I own. So far, I have at least 8 bags of things to give away or donate. Of course, I'm not quite finished, but here's a glimpse of my closet at the moment, and this is after I've already cleared a lot out! 

Blouses and skirts are to the left, JSKs and OPs to the right.
Up top is wig heads, bags, and hats, and shoes are everywhere!

The hardest things for me to get rid of are my stuffed animals, and my lolita things, and since I'm too torn on what frills to part with, I decided I needed to get rid of some stuffed animals at least! While it was really tough, I'm proud of myself for making these decisions, and de-cluttering my life a little bit. I'll likely donate anything that isn't lolita or BJDs to a local shelter after my friends have a look through them!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- day 29

Sorry I'm a bit behind, it's been a bit crazy the past few days!

Day 29: Write a letter to yourself 5 years from now.

I honestly got stuck on this one, besides certain events that have happened lately, and wanting to do this challenge properly, I haven't been able to keep up! I plan to write an actual letter to myself, on some cute stationary I have lying around that I never get to use, and seal it up for me to read later down the road. Since I haven't had chance to write one proper, I guess I'll use this as a bit of a placeholder until I can. That way I can get caught up with the challenges as well! As for in the future, I'd definitely be interested to see what I've done with my life. At the moment, I'm still in that phase of deciding what I want to be when I grow up, haha. I'm also interested to see how my lolita style will have changed throughout the years! I'm not sure of everything I will ask myself, but I'll be sure to report back when I'm finished!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 28

Day 28: Learn how to prepare a new entrée.

This one is going to be brief. I had an endoscopy done today, and I'm still feeling a bit under from it. While it's not an entrée, a couple days ago, I did try out a recipe for macarons! I recieved a kit for them over Christmas, so I decided to give it a try. Sadly, they didn't turn out and all flattened during the baking process, so I'll have to try again soon, but they still tasted good! I gave the macarons a little strawberry flavoring, and filled them with a strawberry marshmallow creme, inspired by the Strawberry Guimauve macarons from Ladurée that I got to try while in London! If they turn out next time, I'll be sure to share a photo with you!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 27

Day 27: Look up the performance schedule for your local orchestra.

I admit, I've never been to the orchestra before! I prefer something a little more visual, but I have heard good things about the Colorado Symphony, so I took a look at their website. Sadly most of their performances are on weekends, which aren't good days for me since usually when I have a weekend off, I have a meet or other plans already. It'd be super cool to see a performance one day though! The one that looked most interesting to me was their performance of music from Harry Potter! I love the series, and think it would be awesome to see them perform it live!

Annual Wardrobe Post!

Hey there! I just finished up my annual wardrobe post on EGL, and was inspired to post it here as well! Instead of cross posting, I'll be posting the whole thing here, so I warn you now, it'll be pretty image-heavy! I left out a lot of accessories, since most of my room is filled with lolita-related stuff, there was just too much for me to account for, haha.

My username on EGL is sugarkit, if you coudn't tell.

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 26

Day 26: Photograph your newest lolita purchase.

Technically, I wasn't the one who purchased it, since it was a Christmas gift from my mom, but my most recent piece is Le Petit Prince- My Tiny Horoscope Rosé JSK in Blue from Alice and the Pirates! The Little Prince is one of my favorite books, so I got extremely excited when I found out they were releasing this print. There's actual pictures from the book printed inside the stars!

The JSK! I didn't realize one of the edges had flipped until I uploaded the photos, haha.

Illustrations from the book! My favorite illustration is the one of him flying with the birds,
you can see part of it on the right side, but it takes up two stars.

The little star charm is adorable! Such a cute detail.

A clock with both names round the edges, and a constellation of an elephant being eaten by a boa constrictor.
The fox is also one of the constellations, along with a few other charaters from the book!

If you couldn't tell, I really love this JSK!

I also recently added Mallorca Cutsew OP in Lavender, and the Dramatic Rose Special Set JSK in pink, both from Angelic Pretty, to my wardrobe when I visted San Francisco back in December. I got a cardigan from BTSSB, and a couple cutsews from AP as well!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 25

Day 25: Spare some time for an indulgent wash.

     Okay, this one I found a bit weird, haha. I don't take baths, mostly because I'm too tall to fit in most bathtubs, but I do like to take long showers. I'll take time to reflect on my day or the past or whatever's on my mind, and I like to use a sugar scrub to scrub it away! 

     I guess I'll also share my favorite body wash while I'm at it. The Sugar Crush scent by Soap & Glory is my absolute favorite, and I use the body wash, body butter, and just about whatever over product thatcomes in that scent! It smells a bit like key lime pie, but I'm not usually a fan of key lime, so I'm not sure what it is that attracts me to the scent. There's just something about it that I really love!
