Hats. Let's Get Some Hats.

I recently watched the original Mary Poppins film and was inspired by the hats that Jane has in the movie.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Jane's hats?

I'm wondering why the majority of straw hats in lolita fashion are similar to boater hats and not rounded like the hat with the blue ribbon in the bottom right corner of the image above?

I don't really like mini hats. I used to like them a lot when I was younger. What happened?

Anyway, Jane's hats give me inspo to get myself some more hats. Ones that I am currently in love with:

Charlotte Ribbon Straw Hat

Rosy Ribbon Beret

In other news, Amino now has ads. I don't know if I'm going to be using it anymore... Probably, I need some time to get over the disappointment. I hardly ever use Tumblr now because of the ads though, so maybe I wont get over it. :(
If there was an option to pay some amount to have no ads, I would consider it. (This goes for Amino and Tumblr)

Blue + Pink and Blue + White

Today, Raymond and I went to a metaphysical store to buy things for the solstice on Friday. I am going to go mulberry picking, have a picnic and then have a bonfire (if the weather is okay) on Friday to celebrate. I bought way too much incense but it was on SALE. I spent 6 more dollars than originally planed but now I have like 60 something incense sticks huhu~ At this store they have the incense sitting in jars so you can just reuse the same baggie to hold the incense in.

I tried something new with my coordinate. I'm really happy with the result. I kept everything on the floor because I felt it went with the aesthetic I'm going for (which is: looking terrible).

Also look at this selfie. I don't post selfies with my lolita coordinates ever because they feel so unrelated and also who wants to look at my face. But look at it anyway.

Also also, I am crocheting a new scarf for the Knit-Wits group. I went with Brittany for the first time in years! ;o; Apparently, I'd already finished the scarf that I was working on before so I started this. I'm going to do blue and white stripes. I don't know if I have enough blue to finish the current line though... the suspense!

Vegfest and Finally Finding a Sought After Item

We went to Vegfest on Sunday. My friend and I wore lolita. I decided on country lolita because I was feeling very summery.

I talked about this photo on my tumblr (which I post to infrequently). I find myself wearing these boots a lot, but they're not lolita. They're comfortable, they go okay with most coordinates that feature brown. I'm interested in anything to make lolita more wearable for me. I've thought about buying a pair of pink converse. THE TREACHERY! The store at the mall carries pink converse but for some reason they are the ONLY pastel converse they have that is made with leather.

We are the cutest

At Vegfest we tried free samples, tried a vegan pepperette, got vegan donuts, petted some dogs and browsed art. We also bought a few groceries. I finally got to try the beyond meat sausage. Holy crap, it's so much like the real thing! ~spooky~

Also! I FINALLY found a strawberry parlour hat!! How long did I wait to find it...? The last listing for the hat on Lacemarket was in April 2018! So I've been waiting over a year. Excited I've finally found it.

It's going to go with my Sheep Garden OP. More country lolita aesthetic huhu~

I was really very busy the last month. I got married, I graduated from university and I went on my honeymoon to Las Vegas. I will have more free time now.
