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.

Gothic Lolita inspired look!

Hi! Today's outfit is gothic lolita inspired because recently I've seen lots of pictures of gothic lolita looks and thus ended up wanting to dress like that. I don't think my outfit actually meets all the qualifications for it to be considered gothic lolita and so I'm only saying that it's inspired by it.

For that matter, though, I'd love to dress in lolita, but there are way too many rules for my taste and I fear I'd be called an ita. Also it's kind of too clean a style for me? It feels wrong to look so put together and proper. I'm too punk rock for lolita or whatever. But I really do love the style and specifically gothic lolita! Wish I had it in me to get into it but as of right now I don't have it in me, the best I can do is this. Maybe one day, though.



















What I'm wearing:

  • dress [thrifted]
  • corset [got it from my mom, changed the lacing from shoelaces to satin myself]
  • shirt [new yorker]
  • petticoats (which you hopefully can't see) [thrifted]
  • choker [made it myself]
  • tights [got them from my mom]
  • boots [lolita wardrobe]
  • necklace [betsey johnson]
It is that time of the year again, I steal flowers from our neighbour's garden and take the best pictures I've taken all year. On the way to steal the flowers I walked past another neighbour whom I forgot has a dog and I almost had a heart attack when the said dog suddenly ran up to me from behind lol.
