I had a bit of a break from wearing lolita for most of April and the start of May. Not really deliberate, I just didn’t have the chance. So when a Friday in May rolled around and James offered to drive me to the station in the morning, rather than walking like usual, I jumped on the chance to dress up. It was a super cold day, so my fleece-lined tights were a must, and from there I just built up a very comfortable, very casual outfit. And I ended up really, really loving it! I got a bunch of compliments at work as well, which was nice. And it reminded me how much I like wearing purple.

Honestly, I think this is the most typically casual I’ve ever gone in lolita, and I rather liked it. Nerdy t-shirt plus a lolita skirt? I think I’ve found my new favourite thing.
Speaking of nerdy, I next wore lolita to see Solo with James. Honest talk? I only wore lolita because my one pair of comfy jeans were in the wash ^__^
Like the previous outfit, this one came together from concerns about comfort and practicality. I picked my most comfy skirt, paired it with an easy to wear and long sleeved cutsew (because Winter), long socks for the same reason, flat shoes and simple accessories. And again, I actually rather liked it! I wouldn't normally go with this colour combo (ivory? With my black-and-red?) but I think it worked out pretty okay. It's not a mindblowing outfit by any means but it was cute and comfortable.

I next wore lolita to work on a Friday (again). It’s Winter here right now, and I do not like the cold at all so I haven’t really been up for dressing up much since lolita doesn’t really lend itself to bundling up in a thousand layers. But I braved it on this Friday and rather liked the result! So many cherries, much wow.

I wasn’t able to take a full photo so have a bathroom selfie and a shoe shot; together they give you the general gist. I actually really want to redo this cardigan and skirt combo with even more cherry things, socks and a hairclip at the very least. But that might be too much. Or not…
So that's my lolita outfits from the past couple of months. Nothing particularly outstanding, but I'm glad that I'm keeping up wearing this adorable fashion.
Purple suits you so well and that first casual outfit is absolutely bomb! I know that purple (not lavender) is a rare colour in lolita, but I am totally encouraging you to add purple to your wardrobe if you can, you'd look really great! And it tends to feature most in classic lolita, so Innocent World, Meta, Atelier Pierrot etc., which would be right up your street too. Ok, I'll stop enabling you now... ^^""
ReplyDeletePurple is my favourite colour (and I'm really chuffed to hear you like it one me) and please keep enabling, it's a good thing ^__^
DeleteI love your first and cherry outfit, I'm really feeling casual lolita at the moment and this inspires me to wear it more. Also love the berets they're so good for adding a pop of colour I want to collect more!
ReplyDeleteThank you ^__^ Casual lolita is very fun, and berets are totally my favourite!
Deletethese look cute and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThank you ^__^
DeleteI like to see sweet lolita in black so I really like all these coordinates!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the first one-- I love how casual but put-together you look, and it's definitely the kind of outfit I'd wear myself! I like the idea of fleece lined tights in winter and it's definitely one I'll try when that season rolls around here!
Thank you so much! I really still love that first outfit myself too.
