My 2019 Lolita Highlights
Happy New Year! I still cannot believe that 2019 has already come and gone. Here are some highlights of my lolita fashion journey in 2019!
My First Altered Piece
This year, I was lucky enough to purchase my first altered brand piece! I have loved the print Magic Princess by Angelic Pretty for years. I never dreamed that I would be able to wear it! This beautiful JSK had additional measurements added using the waist ties. There was even enough to make a hair bow and I am very happy with how the dress fits. The words altered and modified are now common search terms that I use in my Lace Market browsing!
An Impromptu MTO
Angelic Pretty announced in June that they would be re-releasing their popular Honey Cake series! I was browsing AP's website and learned the new release would be plus-size friendly and yes, I read it multiple times to make sure I read it correctly. I did not anticipate a made-to-order event that would fit my size or one that would only last for three days. I feel very fortunate. The unplanned purchase was well worth the investment and the six-month wait!
A Successful Challenge
As 2019 was coming to an end, I realized that I had not had the opportunity to participate in the 7-day lolita fashion challenge! Armed with some great advice, a coordinate checklist, and my Cotton Candy Feet shoes and bag I attempted the trial. I am extremely proud that I was able to complete the challenge, and on the first try! I learned a lot, like how I can wear full coordinates with only a few extra minutes to my day. This challenge was the perfect way to end the year!
