Would you look at that...nary a coord from December until April...
But oh well. I did wear lolita few times for YouTube videos, but I don't really count those as "worn outfits" so they never get included in these posts. And, of course, moving house is a big deal so I really don't care that I didn't wear lolita for months. However, once we got into April I started to feel the urge again so here we are ^__^
The urge, to be quite frank, was kickstarted when James did an Easter lolita photoshoot. Our models wore adorable, slightly OTT coords with Dramatic Rose and even though I was just assisting, I had to join in the lolita fun, so I put together a comfortable, practical coord.
My next coord was completely unplanned, because it was chosen for me by Paulina of Cupcake Kamisama for the Lolita Fashion Youtubers "Dress Me Up" collab! When I mentioned when I was planning to shoot the video, my lovely husband James suggested doing a proper photoshoot and we did, and it was so fun to do modelling again ^__^
This photo here is unedited to just show off the outfit, but stay tuned for the YouTube video and also the final edited photos on my Facebook.
I honestly kind of love this outfit - it just works! But I don't see myself wearing Jurassic Party like this again, I think this styling was a bit too far out of my comfort zone...and that's why I'm super grateful to Paulina for picking it. It's good to get stretched every once in a while!
Overall, it was good to get back into lolita after such a long break. I'm starting to feel settled and functional, and I have a good feeling about the rest of the year, so we'll see what coords that results in ^__^
I'm still so chuffed with how the coord came out. And you did precisely the right thing with a 'more out there and definitely won't wear it again' coord: did a photoshoot. That's what they're for, I can't wait to see the final pics!
ReplyDeleteMe too! And it was super fun to shoot in, I was totally vibing.
