Gothic Lolita inspired look pt. 2

Hello! While I still won't get into lolita for real I still think the style is cute and as it is, sometimes I take inspiration from it. This time one of my friends said that they'd maybe like to try lolita and that inspired me to put together another mockery of a gothic lolita coord or whatever they're called, and I hope you'll enjoy!!

I found my old digital camera after it was lost for a couple of years and took pictures on it and like ugh the pictures look so aesthetic. I don't know how to change the settings on the camera, though, and it prints the date 01/01/2007 on all of them despite 2007 having been what, 16 years ago???? That is just insane... But regardless I think that the pictures suit the atmosphere of my blog (or at least the atmosphere I'm trying to achieve), as I miss the countless blogs and Myspace and all of the early days of the internet that I never got to take part in... I really prefer blogs over any social media and I think more people should have blogs. I hope they make a comeback like some people (me included) are predicting.

Anyway the real reason we are here is my outfit. It is rare that I wear dresses or skirts because of reasons related to gender that I'm not going to get into, but then sometimes I remember that dresses and skirts are super cute. I don't have any super extra cute dresses (or skirts) and I live in cold climate so this outfit is very layered (yet I still got a bit cold cause I was wearing only one pair of tights).


I'm wearing a turtleneck that I got from my mom many years ago, and a puff-sleeved cotton dress and a tulle skirt that I thrifted also many years ago as the base outfit. The really cool things here are the choker that I made from a belt that was my favorite as a kid that I just found from the attic and which was unfortunately too short to use as a belt, basically I just cut the belt to the right length to go around my neck and made a new hole in the leather so the clasp could be closed (it's just a stick behind the extremely cool buckle lol); Cat O'Brien velvet corset I bought a couple years ago that I usually prefer to wear backwards since I'm not really a fan of showing any of my chest and as you can see, when worn as it's supposed to it'd show A LOT of cleavage; and the cage skirt which I made myself from a lace skirt that I thrifted but never used as it was.

Also adding a picture of my new ear piercings (two helix and one rook) and of my D'espairsRay posters (most of them. I feel so so casual about them and it shows)!! And a side note I really wish I could've worn nail polish with this look alas my job says I can't and so I can only wear it on the weekends.
