At the start of the month, I did get a chance to go all out in an outfit for a trip into Seattle with one of my best friends.
I wore my Holley Tea Time Rainbow Bat skater dress with my favourite tail coat and the Kate Spade platform flats I thrifted. I was so cute and I got so many compliments.
My friend and I hit up the International District first, wandering around Kinokuniya and Daiso for a little while. I picked up the fifth trade paperback of Saga while in Kinokuniya, and some more clip hangers for my skirts, a cute pen, and bobby pins from Daiso. Then we stopped by my favourite gyro shop by Pike Place for lunch and then headed over to one of the theaters downtown to finally see the new Star Wars. By the time the movie was over, my feet were killing me since I almost never wear shoes that aren't my well loved Docs, so I gave in and finally bought a pair of standard flats. I really like them, they're super comfy. It was a good decision.
So that day was really cool.
The other big fashion related thing that happened in February was that I found some great stuff at the thrift shop I work at. I found this awesome pair of amazingly comfortable Victorian style boots, a super adorable ruffly black vest, and two really comfy loliable blouses that I can wear to work when I want to frill it up.
March and April are going to be very eventful though. I've got a lot of things going on -- a lot of incoming purchases and three events I'm going to be wearing Lolita for. I spent most of February planning out my outfits for these events and I think I've got it mostly sorted out.
First off, my sister co-hosts these really cool monthly fetish nights at a club downtown, and March's theme is kowaii cuteness. I'm tentatively planning on going since I've been meaning to go to one of her events for a while now and this one is right up my alley. My plan for that event is to wear my Bunny and Black nurse print skirt. Though I haven't finalized the details yet, I'm probably going to go for a more ero leaning coord to reflect the nature of the event. It's going to be really fun.
Then, the last weekend of March is Sakuracon and two weekends after that is Emerald City Comic Con. I'm going to both because I am just that nerdy, and I've been planning out my outfits for both of them. I haven't decided what coord I'm going to be wearing which days, since I'm probably going to be working at least part of each weekend thanks to my store being host to a whole bunch of nerds also intending to go to these cons, but I've got a good combination of bordering-on-OTT and easy-to-change-out-o coordsf. I'm planning on posting flat lays of my completed coords when I've got them finalized (and have all the pieces for them) so I won't go into details here yet.
Finally, I have come to understand how so many Lolitas are able to buy so much stuff. I had been really confused by this because Lolita is such an expensive hobby but, after paying almost all my bills for the month, I found myself with a lot of money left over. Like, an entire paycheck worth of money. I've bought so much stuff in the last week; it's been both really crazy and really cool. I'll probably do a haul post mid April after I've recovered from the cons I'm going to.
So there you have it: an update in the life of Mochi. Tune in next time for a more picture heavy post.
