Send in the Frills: Outfit Post




Ooh, first outfit post of the blog! The thought of it it making me more than a little bit jittery, especially since I haven't worn Gothic Lolita -- a fashion subculture originating in Harajuku, Japan, and based on Rococo and Victorian-era children's clothing -- for year. After that particular little twelve-month hiatus, during which I smartened up my act, I'm back with it; albeit an offbrand version to assuage my cheapskate personality. These were taken on a meet-up with some of my friends in Birmingham for the weekend. I originally was wearing the rose on my jacket up in my hair, but it was so windy it was at risk of being tugged out and lost forever. Also, don't wear heels that high for the first time when you're doing so much walking. Despite your willpower, you will break and switch to Victorian-style brogues with mercifully flat soles after about three and a half hours max.
