First Ever Meetup!

Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise! Today I bring to you the tale of my first real meetup (not counting this one, hour-long video chat I did). 

It all began May 29th, 2021, when I suddenly recall hearing about a meetup about a week before. I sprint to my comm's discord server to realize that not only was I correct about the meetup, but it would be taking place later that day! I scrambled to respond in the channel that I might be going, but as I cannot yet drive, when I would be able to make it was still unplanned. Every hour, I pestered my mother. "Who's taking me?" I would ask, but all I received was, "One of us will" in reference to her and my father.

I was mildly panicked, since I didn't know if I would be able to make it to the ramen shop in time, or if I'd have to wait till tea at 7. All was for naught, however, as I found out that my father would be able to take me with plenty of time for noodles. 

Now for the coord, as I'm sure you all are interested in. Originally, I only knew what blouse to wear, but I quickly found a suitable main piece and accommodating attire. If you desire links to anything I wore, please comment.


JSK: Dreamy Perfume, Blouse: offbrand, Headbow: off brand,
Stockings: RojiRoji, Shoes: Sheeppuff

Our first stop was the Ramen House. Not everyone could make it there on time, but those who could congregated in our precious dresses in the small, hole-in-the-wall shop.


Everyone posted has given their consent

We ate, made merry, and rambled about our coords. It was fun, and the food was certainly tasty. The atmosphere was incredible despite the little restaurant being, well, little.

But the event wasn't over yet, as another destination waited. Our tale continues at FunTea, yet another miniature establishment.


Arrival at FunTea!

I wish I could remember what I ordered, but Im finishing this post almost a year after the event (oops). I do remember it being very fruity and delicious!

After we had all received our orders, we migrated outside for both the beautiful weather and to escape the cramped building (maybe we should have visited later in the day). 

The day eventually ended with some outfit shots and a group photo. Although beware, the group shot is not for the faint of heart!


Petti flash by yours truly!

All in all, I had a great time. For a first meet up, I think things couldn’t have been better, and I really enjoyed everything we did/ate that day.

Angelic Pretty's 50s Obsession

Image
Angelic Pretty, We need to talk. Alright, I'm sure this needs minimal introduction. Angelic Pretty has recently had a thing for that 50s diner aesthetic- and it came out of nowhere. What build up from past prints did we have that  foretold the Baltimore we're in now? I mean, someone's been sniffing too much Ultra Clutch hairspray, surely. Angelic Pretty, with no warning, released their Milkshake collection, and their Neon Diner is on its way. Here we see the Milkshake OP in pink. Cute, sure. Not lolita. Even as a newcomer to this fashion, the number one thing that defines lolita is the silhouette. Thats the reason petticoats have become so important. And thats the one thing this OP doesn't have. I'm not mad, don't get me wrong, its just. Disappointing? Coming into this fashion, you hear all about how great AP is and whatnot, and this defies everything I've been told. This is the Neon Diner JSK in blue. This is much better, with an actual...

Spreadsheet of Needs

Image
Good Evening Good evening friends, affiliates, and otherwise. I hope your Easter/Passover was good. I've been a tad bit productive today, thus the point of this late post. I made a spreadsheet detailing basic lolita clothing needs, providing at least three items of each including a link to the item and its price. Here you can see I divided my needs into categories: Petticoats; Bloomers; Blouses; Skirts; OPs; and JSKs. I labeled all my links with what the item was, and underneath the price for each link. I think this will be helpful for my building of my collection. Well, thats all I wanted to share.

Learning

Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise. Today's post is going to be a tad bit more serious. I want to talk about the newcomers to the fashion, coming from a newcomer's perspective. In the past two weeks, I have made mistake after mistake, whether I was being a little too immature or annoying on discord, or I posted a question on Rufflechat and wasn't prepared for the comments, or I let my limited knowledge of the fashion disguise itself as more info than it was. I have let myself get cocky and I shouldn't have. If you are in the same boat as me, where you are both young in age and experience, then I hope to be able to help you as well as myself by writing this. My number one piece of advice is don't post or write anything you aren't able to handle harsh comments on. Just because Closet of Frills says constructive  criticism doesn't mean everyone on there knows how to be constructive. You will maybe write a comment and get beat down on...
