Hello Everyone!
So, now that my convention season is over for this year, not
much is going on in my world. I have began planning for Katsucon, Anime Matsuri
and Anime Next next year and the very beginnings of plans for my trip to Japan in
December 2015. I will probably devote another post to that in the coming weeks.
And so, I’ve decided continue my 52 week lolita challenge. I
kind of fell out of interest with it back in spring last year but I’m going to
try to keep with it until the end this time!
I’ll post every Monday and for the next 4 entries I’ll do 2
of the weeks. So I will start again with weeks 8 and 9.

Why I don’t wear lolita more often?
Honestly, I would happily wear lolita more often but at the
end of the day the reason that I don’t comes down to a matter of everyday
practicality. With a job that requires a strict uniform and Maryland weather being bi-polar as hell 90%
of the time, it’s hard to dress up as much as I’d like. Which is why recently
I’ve begun to get into other Jfashions like otome kei and romagyaru.
I also don’t wear lolita more often because I don’t usually
get a chance to go to many meetups or events. However as years have passed I have
tried to make more of an effort to dress in lolita more, I’ve tried to add more
casual things to my wardrobe too.

Improvision (Creativity)
Is improvision even a word? I suppose not, lol. Well then I
guess creativity. Because I am always working on a strict budget and don’t
always have the resources to create the amazing coords I can think up in my
head, a lot of my style is basically me improvising for what I can’t afford or
have access to when I need it. I make about half of my accessories and
frequently check out thrift stores for loli-able items. Even when I’m in other
stores if I find something I think would go well with an outfit I get it. I
also like to make add-ons for some of my dresses so they can be worn different
ways many times. In that sense, I feel like a big part of my progress in the
fashion has been from my ability to improvise and create things with little.
Dreamy
I really like airy fabrics like lace and chiffon and my two
favorite motifs in lolita are roses and fairies. I really like fairy tales and
dressing in lolita always gives me a sence of whimsy like I can transform in to
my ideal, dream self.
Elegant
Elegance has to be one of the most, if not the most,
important things about my lolita style and lolita fashion in general. Lolita
really has helped me become more elegant and refined and I am constantly trying
to think of ways to have more elegance. I wish to one day be the perfect proper
lady, the epitome of grace.
Pure
By pure, I mean traditional. I don’t really like to follow
lolita trends unless I really really like them. I admit a lot of my coords can
come off as basic or boring because of it. But that is just me, I like more old
school looks and also more elegant and mature looks. I only do OTT for classic
and gothic and even then only for very special events.
I’m sorry! I could only think of 4 words! I tried to think
of one last one but I could not without becoming repetitive! >o< I have
to go up to New York
next Monday so most likely I will post again on Sunday!
Yours Jasmine
