Frocktober 25th!

Today’s dress is a bit strange for me, as it’s very short and doesn’t have a defined waist!  The skirt part fluffs out from my hips so it’s not very flattering.  Nevertheless, I really love it! 

Today was spent at the library, working at a computer all day.  Kind of boring!

Dress detail: I Love Milk.

This dress is from Uniqlo, Paris.  It is a collaboration between Uniqlo and Milk – a famous and long-running lolita/casual brand from Japan.

This dress comes with old worn photos too!  Me mucking about in Sweden after buying it in Paris.  We spent Christmas in Paris in 2010 and it was bizarre!  Not romantic at all!  Everything was closed and we had Christmas lunch at McDonald’s!

Should I cut my fringe like that again?

Gosh it’s getting towards the end of the month!  I’ve started to wear dresses that are kind of weird and I never otherwise would wear!  Maybe I need to get rid of some…

Today’s dress is really nice, but tight around my ribs 😦 and I can’t figure out how I’d alter it because there’s piping all around the middle panel.  I managed today, so maybe I’ve lost weight or gained toughness.  Also I didn’t do anything hard today, so didn’t have to breathe too hard!

Charles commented that there’s always a cardigan photo and then some without-cardigan photos.  But seriously, I’m NEVER WITHOUT A CARDIGAN!  They really are essential, especially in this kind of warm-ish weather.

This dress also comes with an old worn photo.  This is me and my parents right before my third-year recital!  I look so young there, in 2009!
I have no idea what to wear tomorrow.  It’s getting more and more difficult…

Frocktober 22nd! Favourite dress.

 This dress is my favourite dress ever!  It’s Victorian Maiden’s Adele Bustier Dress.  Here’s a link to the Hello Lace info page.  I tried this on when we went to the Victorian Maiden Press Room in Osaka in early 2010, but didn’t buy it.  Then I bought it from the website when it went on special later in 2010!

I didn’t realise how long my hair looked until I saw this photo!  The back of the dress has corset lacing.
Dress: Victorian Maiden
Blouse: Victorian Maiden (Lolibrary link here)
Shoes: Irregular Choice
Cardigan: Alice and the Pirates

And then I went and played my drums! We set them up for the first time in our new home tonight.

This dress also comes with previous worn photos!

And this is even earlier, mid 2010 when we did a big concert.  I really like that long sleeved blouse!
