365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 34

Day 34: Watch a homemade lolita video.

Since January's wardrobe posts are finally over, I decided to watch a few wardrobe videos on youtube! Since te challenge mentions only one, I decided to share my good friend Jamie's! This is her first time making any sort of wardrobe post. Feel free to check it out!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 33

Day 33: Go back in time to the first iterations of lolita webstores.

So, orginally I was planning on going back in time to Angelic Pretty's original webstore, or find some sort of reference to the old days when they were still "Pretty", but me searching skills have rendered me useless on this challenge, haha. Instead, enjoy the very first capture of Angelic Pretty's English site, back from October of 2007!

Gotta love that oldschool art! I still print off the coloring page version of this every once in a while!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 32

Whew, I made it to February, and got caught up just in time! 

Day 32: Write about your perfect Valentine's Day lolita meet.

While I'm always kind of on the fence about how I feel when it comes to Valentine's Day, I always love the aesthetic of it! Lots of heart and flower motifs, and red and pink! I think my perfect Valentine's Day meet would have to be something along the lines of an afternoon tea in a cute rose garden! Everyone could exchange handmade valentines, and baked goods! There's already a Valentine's Day meet scheduled for my comm this year, we're going to a free day at the doll museum, and exchanging valentines with everyone like we did in grade school! It'll be lots of fun, but perhaps one year I'll have to make that rose garden tea a reality!

Cat Cafe Meet!

This past weekend, I attended a meet with my comm at a local cat cafe! It opened up last year, but I've been wanting to check it out for a while, so I figured that now would be the perfect time! There's a small admission to get into the cafe, but no time limit, and books and activites to keep you occupied while you're there, if you aren't too focused on the adorable cats! We chatted for a while, snacking on tea and local baked goods while doting over kitties and taking photos. An epic round of Life then ensued, with everyone paired up for teams.

 

My coordinate for the meet! I wore Vanilla-Chan by Angelic Pretty

Bonus group shot because everyone looked super cute! ❤ Jamie was there too!

365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge- Day 31

Day 31: Browse through the latest wardrobe posts on egl.

Since I've been working on my wardrobe post this last month, I've been checking back on egl occasionally as well, to see everyone else's posts, and to inspire myself to post as well. I loved seeing all the different ways that people came up with to show off their wardrobes! As January comes to a close, I decided to share a few of my favorite wardrobes that I've seen. ❤

These are all recently added to cgl since there's so many, they aren't all the wardobes I enjoyed, but just a couple!

Iowngameware's Mint Chocolate Wardrobe- Lots of chocolate and mint, one of my favorite color combos! I also like all the details taken for each piece.

Themugence's Sweet & Chocolate Wardrobe- Her style is a bit similar to mine, so I enjoyed her wardrobe quite a bit. There's also lots of detail shots of her room, which is super cute!

Raine Dragon's Huge Wardrobe- I love that she included a reference for each item so it was easy to find on lolibrary (Makes added it to your own wishlist easier!) I also like the way she formatted the photos. I get bored of scrolling when it's one item for each row, so I felt like this was a bit easier for me to look at, especially with so many pieces!

If you made a wardrobe post of your own, please share it with me! I'd love to check them out!

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!
