2015 In Review

Well, when I started this blog, I aimed to update it pretty regularly. That... did not happen. Oops. It's a new year though and so I'm going to try again, starting with a look back at what I did last year.

In the first half of the year I :

• Started this blog
• Started a Lolita aesthetic tumblr blog
• Got most of the way through the Lolita 52 Week Challenge
• Joined my local comm
• Actually went to a meet up
• Bought my first GLB
• Bought some main pieces and a lot of accessories.

Then I missed a week in the 52 Week Challenge, then another, then another. Then I got a job and things got crazy busy for me. I got hired on as a costume consultant for Value Village, which was awesome because I got to dress up like it was Halloween every day for two months. It was a lot of fun and it gave me a great excuse to wear Lolita, since my wardrobe is pretty spooky.

During September and October I :

• Bought three more GLBs and started myself a real collection
• Bought my first piece of Brand (a Baby headbow)
• Bought my second piece of Brand not even a week later (an AP purse)
• Wore lolita almost weekly
• Did not take pictures of 99% of my coords
• Bought an incredibly cute wig for three dollars
• Bought tons more accessories

I ended up being kept on permanently but dressing up every day for so long really burnt me out, especially since I only repeated two or three outfits the entire time. It's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've wanted to put in all the effort it takes to wear Lolita.

Which brings me to 2016. It's January, so I've started prepping for my first ever wardrobe post. I've got a full time job that will allow me to add to my collection much faster than I've ever been able to. I'm friends with not just one, but two guys who are interested in wearing Ouji who I might be able to convince to be my Ouji accessory. I've got an actual ironing board now so I can actually iron my clothes. It's only a week into the new year and already I can feel my frilly powers growing.
