My Outfits!

This post is a bit late! Here's the next batch of the outfits I've been wearing lately! Keep your eyes out for posts also featuring some of my friend Emily's outfits! We like the same fashions, but have different styles. She's also a more experienced lolita! =] I'm going to try do more in depth mini photo shoots with mine and Emily's outfits when I have the time, but I won't be able to with every outfit, unfortunately!

My Outfits!

Finally! These outfits are all from my time in Japan so far. Keep in mind, these aren't even anywhere near the amount of colorful clothes I actually brought with me! This is 1 bag's worth plus some new stuff I've gotten in Japan. Two of my bags are still in Tokyo, so this weekend when I get those, my wardrobe will be more than only pink, peach, brown, black, red, burgundy, tan, grey, and white. I do love those colors though <3 Very common in casual Japanese fashions right now so I'm fitting in quite well, but sometimes I need to stand out! This would all be waaayy too girly to fit into America's casual fashion (if you could even call casual wear in America fashion [Ewwww jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, pajama pants, and only skin tight boring skirts]). I like how everyday fashion in Japan is cuteness and prettiness, lace, bows, glitter, and girly, not sexy, boring, or skin tight like in America. Sorry, random little fashion rant.

Anyway, I'm usually so colorful and I need some more colors in my life! Here's what I've been wearing.

Sorry, I don't remember where a lot of my clothes are from since I usually buy them second hand or a long time ago, but I'll put what I do know!

Also, another little fashion rant. I hate how a lot of people are all about brands. Don't get me wrong, I like to find something amazing that I like and be able to say, "Hey, I really love this dress and I got it from (insert expensive designer brand here) for $300" but just getting brand for the sake of having brands and thinking that's the only way to be fashionable is wrong. You can buy second hand, cheaper clothes, make your own, or whatever you want, and as long as you have the skill to put it all together in a good outfit, you can be fashionable! Fashion isn't the clothes or the brand you have, but how you wear and style them!!
