I am back from my many adventures!

I've been sick for the past week. I was supposed to go to Trotcon and even had a Fluttershy inspired egl coordinate planned out. :( Actually, I didn't get very sick. It was like a mild cold. But I did feel very tired. 

It was really nice to just spend an entire week at home feeling obligated to do nothing. :D

I managed to get some things done. For example, a button had popped off my Cherry Cat jumperskirt from Innocent World. The button seems to have been sucked into the void of nothingness because it has entirely disappeared. Months of searching have yielded no results. I sewed on a clear button as a replacement. The buttons are mismatched now though. Maybe now that I've gone through the effort to replace it, the missing button will return.

The results. Not too noticeable hopefully?

Cherry Cat is one of my favourite dresses. The cats are sort of wonky looking but it reminds me of the wallpaper border of my childhood bedroom. The dress is also very simple. The ease of wear that comes with such simplicity combined with the nostalgia makes it a go-to.

Mouse (soon to be a victim?) carries a cherry away.

On the topic of mending, I repaired the burn holes near the cuffs of this sweater. This sweater was left downstairs in my building's lobby, as things often are. It's sort of a leave and take situation. Quite a bit of my muggle clothing is sourced from here. It's fun to find new clothes for free that are in my size. I guess whomever owned this before must have been a smoker? Thought I don't recall it smelling like smoke.

Before.

After

Why is there no full view photo of this sweater? Who knows?! This is really just for bookkeeping for myself maybe. Or maybe to prove to myself that no, this blog (as a whole) isn't just about lolita fashion. It's about my life. Something like that.

In that case, here's as close as a worth photo I have of myself "wearing" the sweater. It's wrapped around my waist. This image looks hella flat, but I am actually at the top of a very big rocky hill (or perhaps you could call it a small mountain). It's a very remote location, very cool to go somewhere so remote.

Me in my iconic field hat. I had to make a few repairs to it this trip. It's ten years old now!

It's been quite a while since I've worn lolita. This spring/summer has been filled with traveling. Although last week was spent in quarantine and could have presented an opportunity to wear lolita, I preferred to wear clothing that I could fall asleep in at any moment. I did indeed sleep a lot.

But the food supply has run low and I feel pretty well now so I visited a grocer. It's quite hot so I went for a super cute look instead of lolita. I have discovered that wearing a wig is as good as wearing a hat to keep the sun off one's head :P 

This dress is from Peiliee Shop

I'm happy with how this fit turned out! I think it's very cute. 

Otherwise, I've been playing the Sims 4 a bit and watching both Fargo and My Dress-Up Darling. 

Also, I have this bubbling feeling of nostalgia! I don't know why. Maybe it's just because it's summer??
