International Lolita Day!!

I can't believe it's already December (which of course means CHRISTMAS)! Time has really been flying since senior year started, and while I'm excited that soon enough I'll be shipping off to college, I can't help but be a bit sad. All of my friends used to talk about how wonderful and awesome their senior year was, but so far all mine has been is stressful! Maybe there will be more payoff in the end, hopefully.
Anyhow, this Saturday was International Lolita Day! For those unfamiliar, ILD is a biannual event where girls dress up in and celebrate their favourite Japanese pop fashion. For some this means tea house meetups with gaggles of other Lolitas, or a day spent in solitude reading all the Gothic and Lolita Bibles dressed to the nines, or in my case, a sleepover with my loli pals!!
On Saturday evening, my good friends Rachel (who doesn't have a blog, but really should... hint, hint) and Nephaelia came over to dress up, eat food and generally be a bunch of lazy bums (we debated going to the tea meetup in Boston, but in the end it was too expensive for us cheapskates... but there is a MUCH better meetup in January that we might be able to attend!). Despite the simplicity of our little get-together, it was a ton of fun! Everyone looked great, too!


Unfortunately, this is the closest I got to an outfit shot of all three of us >.> Matti was doing the ghetto face, which I was going to but forgot to in this pic, for some reason. Rachel is just chilling out there like a normal person amongst us spazzes.
Making sweet, sweet brownies.

We were making faces :P

Neither Nephaelia nor I can remember taking this picture... IT'S A CONSPIRACY.

Aaaaand feet!
All of the above photos are yoinked from Nephaelia (hence the watermark), as unfortunately I just didn't get enough >.> I REALLY need a new camera at some point. I'll probably save up for one after Christmas~
Anyhow, while I didn't get a good full outfit shot, it's probably easy enough to get the gist of it from these pictures. Here's a run-down:
Cutsew: BABY
Skirt: K-star (BABY replica)
Tights: Forever 21
Tiara- Chocomint
Slippers (not a legitimate part of the outfit haha :P ): Wally World.
So, that's pretty much it for ILD! I can't wait until the summer event- now that I've been getting more into pastels and fairy kei (-inspired Lolita), I have quite a bit of inspiration for some great summer outfits (which may actually happen since I now have money from my job!).
Happy International Lolita Day! Stay beautiful, gals!
