Today's challenge is "10 things I can't live without in Lolita." Now, most of the stuff I cover here is going to be obvious, but that's because my coords and style are constantly changing like the wind so there aren't really "non-essential" items that I consider essential (except for one in particular- can you guess what that is? :P)

Day 30 – A photo of yourself taken today and 3 good things that’s happened over the last 30
days.
1.) A petticoat! One of the most obvious Lolita items, definitely essential for that "Lolita silhouette!!" :) However, at the moment my petticoat is very flat, so I've been layering skirts or if I'm feeling lazy I just wear the petticoat that's built into the skirt (which never gives very much poof at all!). However, I would like to eventually purchase one of Candy Violet's fluffy petticoats- I've heard they hardly ever deflate at all, and the price isn't too bad at all at around $60!! :)
2.) Basic skin makeup! Without my foundation, my cover-up and my pressed powder, I've got to admit that my skin is a total mess. It's not that I don't take care of it- I make sure to wash my face every morning and night (sometimes with rinses in between!), exfoliate, moisturize if needed and I wear sunblock every day. But still, due to being a teenager and possibly just genetics, my skin is pretty blotchy. So, skin makeup is a life saver! 
3.) Pink nail polish! I try to have a different shade of pink on my nails every week, though I admit I've been lazy lately and haven't been maintaining my nails in between color changes so they get very chippy. :( Recently, I tried black nail polish with pink polka dots and while I didn't much care for the black part (somehow, it made my nails look stubby...?) the polka dots were simply darling!! I'd love to get into nail art someday; nothing's more adorable than nails with oodles of cute charms and designs on them!
4.) Bloomers! Actually, I don't always wear bloomers in Lolita (I like to wear regular shorts I have that aren't as long so they don't peek out under my skirt), I just love the way bloomers look alone! I like to wear bloomers to bed, and when I was in a play this fall I often wore bloomers under my skirts days that I had rehearsal so that after school I could just practice in my bloomers in the much-hotter auditorium and be able to roll around like I wouldn't be able to do in a skirt. 
5.) Blush! I think that most everybody looks better with a touch of color to their cheeks- maybe a rosy pink, or a more mature, more natural color. I use a blush from Sephora that I got on sale, and I just love it! It's pink enough to be noticeable, but not too overpowering. :)
6.) Lip stuffs!! I'm super guilty of wasting my money on my collection of lip things- glosses, lipsticks, lip liner... it's all so addictive!! I think I look best in either a nude color or a brighter shade of red (though the red mostly goes for the winter, when my hair darkens and I often wear black).
7.) Cute bags! I'm also quite guilty of collecting bags, though regrettably I don't have any strictly "Lolita" bags outside the print totes that Bodyline has. I change my purse pretty much every day to go with my outfit, though a lot of my purses have gotten beat up and over-used so I don't always have the perfect bag to pair with an outfit. 
8.) Flats!! Okay, I guess this isn't really an ESSENTIAL- after all, I often wear different types of shoes- but when I'm feeling a bit lazy and really only feel like half-assing an outfit, I wear flats. My favorite pair I own is a dusty rose leatherette pair adorned with a simple bow from Forever 21!! <3
9.) Mascara! My lashes are pretty small on their own, and pretty light, so mascara really helps bring them out!! I still want to learn to put falsies on properly (which might be as simple as buying a decent tube of lash glue, as every time I've tried to put on falsies I've had some sort of mishap with the glue) so I can TRULY transform my eyes :)
10.) Accessories!! Any outfit can look terribly "bleh" without accessories, but even the worst outfit can instantly look fabulous with the addition of a few accessories (though I guess I shouldn't say the WORST, because I suppose some outfits are beyond saving, but... you get the idea :P). I always feel so half-assed unless I have a necklace or too!!
Thank you for reading!!
