Comic Fiesta 2011 - My Lolita Outfit!

I decided to go to Day 2 of Comic Fiesta 2011 to support the Lolita Fashion Runway! I'm not comfortable with going on stage for any reason, so I didn't enter the show, but I still wore loli to show my support!

It was really nice seeing all the other girls again :) Gosh, I think the last time I saw them was at last year's CF!

This year was a predominantly sweet crowd. I think there were only two of us that I could safely identify as classic, with another two or three somewhere in between sweet and classic.

I'm pretty proud of my outfit today! It was a last-minute thing, and ended up looking pretty good for something I was scrambling to put together at 1am the night before.




Also - that's a new wig I'm wearing! It looks a little off in this photo, but it looks really great :D It's half-tied at the back, and I clipped two dusty pink Surface Spell roses onto the tied-up part.

I was originally carrying a different brown bag, but the handles started flaking off :/ I'll have to see how I can repair that because I really love that bag! The bag in the picture was originally a carrier bag for some things I promised a few friends.

Uh, don't mind the edited and blurry picture! It was a rushed picture taken in my hair salon (had a wedding dinner to attend the same night). Also, don't mind the tired derpface - it was tiring facing the crowds, and I was very tired from the Christmas party the night before and getting up at 5.30am that morning to help with church stuff.

Off-white, Beige & Brown Sweet-Classic Lolita Outfit

I'd just received a new Bodyline dress a couple of days ago and couldn't wait to coordinate it!

Accessories:






I wish there were more brown in the outfit, or that the brown was a lighter, softer shade. The bag and shoes were darker than I remembered, so I tried to pull in the browns using a pair of brown brooches pinned to the dress and a brown cameo ring. Sadly, they were just about the only brown accessories that I could find in my room haha! I have a parasol in creams and browns that would've matched perfectly... if I could find it ^^;

I chose a flower headdress with a couple of beige brooches pinned to it because, well, I love round headdresses ^^; I also added the cameo ring, cameo brooch and necklace to try to give the outfit a more classic feel.

I'm not sure how to classify this outfit. I kind of call it sweet-classic, but somehow it also feels like it has a little of old-school elements thrown in.

I think that if I were to wear this dress + blouse out, I'd probably trade the knee-high socks for lacy cream tights, and change the shoes and bag to a more classic-looking cream set of bag, shoes & parasol. I'd also take away the brown brooches and replace the headdress with my cream half-bonnet.

On my new dress: I was quite surprised to find that it looks so much cuter in person than it does in the shop photos - and it looks cute enough on the website as it is! Now that it's on the mannequin, I can see that there are one too many bows on the dress for my liking, and the corset lacing in front is a little too much for my tastes, so I might end up removing the ribbon and snipping off a few of the bows along the hem :)
