30 Day Lolita Challenge, Start! Day 1: 10 things about your lolita bubble

Thought I'd start the 30 day lolita challenge! With a couple caveats. First, there are a few days I think are irrelevant and a bit silly and so have no intention on doing (E.G. "Your Facebook profile picture", "A picture of your handwriting"). I also don't intend to do the almost-30 days in order or over a period of almost-30 days: there are a bunch of days I'm not actually able to do yet, some days I'd want more time to do, and also I feel it'd be quite nice to spread them out among other blog content over a longer period of time.

With all the preamble over:

Day 1: 10 things about your lolita bubble

(as is the case with many other bloggers I'm not quite sure what "bubble" is meant to mean in this context, but nonetheless I shall try to write something that feels appropriate)

1. I fell in love with lolita pretty much the moment I saw it, but it took me something like five months before I started to like sweet lolita (with the exception of bittersweet stuff which I've always liked). Of course I now adore sweet lolita and it's my favourite substyle of lolita clothing <3

2. The dress that converted me to loving sweet lolita over a period of a couple days was this:

I love it so, so much! :D

3. When I discovered that black sweet prints are sometimes refered to as bittersweet I couldn't stop squeeing!

4. Despite reading so many lolita secrets posts and forum posts saying that lolitas are accepting of brolitas I'm still really rather nervous about going to my first ever lolita meet..

5. When I'm in a lolita-mode I'll occasionally spend an hour or more looking through hello lace pages (for example looking a bunch of JSKs by Angelic Pretty) and pretty much dying of happiness seeing all the pretty stuffs and imagining owning them! Seriously, the most amazing website ^_^

6. It's reached the point where I'm having to outright avoid going on EGL Comm Sales and the Facebook sales groups because I just know I'll end up buying something :P Once Christmas is out of the way though I'm going to be spending my life on them under the logic that shortly after Christmas people may be selling a bunch of stuff from their wardrobes, something like that.. Basically I want more dresses :)

7. I'm not quite sure if my favourite brand is Angelic Pretty, Innocent World or Moi-meme-Moitie. All three are dear to me for very different reasons. Ultimately though, given a bit more time, I think it's likely that Angelic Pretty will become my favourite of the three.

8. I would love to have the confidence and for it to be culturally acceptable for me to wear lolita outside on a frequent basis. That said, I doubt I could honestly wear it every day.

9. I really need to actually buy some skirts at some point.. I prefer JSKs and OPs by quite a bit and I think they suit me more too, but skirts are more versatile and a lolita wardrobe without skirts isn't quite right :P

10. It's my belief that lolita outfits always need more bows. Always.
