Hello and welcome to my new section of my blog, and as you can probably guess it's about the amazing Japanese fashion style named Lolita.
I have known and admired lolita for around 5 years now, I know that is a super long time, but when I first discovered it I really didn't like, and there for didn't care much about, my appearance. I was over weight, which there is nothing wrong with I just didn't like it personally for me, I had loads of spots and my hair just sat there... I did try though, I bought a dress, a Wa Lolita style so it covered a lot but I only wore it about two times and then stuffed it in my wardrobe.I still loved the style though along with other Harajuku fashion styles, and continued to draw them and blog them on my tumblr.
So a few years later, I was starting to loose weight, looking after myself better, and my hair was becoming pretty awesome. I was going to finish school soon so prom was on the way and of course, I wanted to dress in lolita. I originally wanted a dress form Metamorphose however I understood my parents didn't have much money so I found a site called Milanoo and found a simple, pretty pink JSK that was under £50, one of the cheapest prom dresses I think.
Didn't wear it that great because I ran out of time to buy a petticoat but I still felt confident and kind of cute, I also got compliments; I'm sure I recall one of my teachers saying I looked like a Japanese cartoon character, I loved the compliment.
Now I am in my third year of college, I think I know what I want to do with my life, I want to be a fashion designer, and I want to design lolita dresses into my line. But before I can do so, I need to wear it more.
Now you know the back story, welcome to my lolita logins.
Here I will blog about my journey into lolita fashion.
So far I have two dresses, but nothing I would quite call a co-ordiniate yet.
I also have joined two lolita groups near where I live so hopefully I can make more friends that like the fashion. And I have also joined a UK sales group on Facebook.
So I am trying to complete a co-ord with my JSK, and maybe my Wa dress too, before I purchase a new dress (I also need to save up...).
I have never purchased a well known brand dress but luckily my friend Jenna made a video about it which was super helpful.
Now to save money, search and buy.
