My Lolita Fashion Journey 2024-2025

Hello!! I've gotten super busy with life but I'm here with a photo dump!!

I've been dressing in lolita on/off for over a year now so here's an assortment of pics. I'm not very confidant in my body so most of these don't show the full fit (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

My first ever coord!!

Sorry for the cleavage, I don't have a big chest but this dress felt like it was meant for people with almost no chest at all with how tight it fit there ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) 
I hardly wear this and I'm not sure why as most of it fit pretty well and I do like it.
This was back in April of 2024 !!

Second Dress!!

This was the second dress I ever got and it came with a ton of accessories EXCEPT a headpiece so I'm wearing a cheap aliexpress one that doesn't really match ( ᵕᴗ _ᴗ )
It fits veryyy comfortable though even though I don't wear it as often as I'd like
This was August of 2025 and I started getting better at makeup around this time ദ്ദി(。•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

Lolita "inspired" dress
IMG-20240913-120335-699 20240913-122253 IMG-20240913-151928-537
I got this dress for cheap off ebay and the brand
Dark in Love
isn't an actual lolita brand as far as I'm aware but they do have plenty of "lolita" pieces.
This was my first time actually going out dressed like this and I was SOOOOOOO NERVOUSSS but I got plenty of compliments (and super rude customer service in one store but the positive beat out the negative)
I actually really like this dress! I styled it with old, white stockings as sleeves and I honestly have NO CLUE why I didn't wear the cheap aliexpress headpiece with this, missed opportunity ╮( ̄▽ ̄"")╭ 
This was September 2024!!

Three ebay dresses I got bundled together
Screenshot-20240911-184751-Gallery IMG-20240911-183854-463
This is also Sept 2024 and I ordered three secondhand dresses and a blouse that were bundled together off ebay and I actually like them but I was still starting out and had no clue how to style them 。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。
This first dress is actually pretty cool but I HATED the blouse at the time because it doesn't have a collar and it looked so awkward.

I didn't have any accessories to pair with this at the time and getting this to zip up in the back by myself was a NIGHTMAREEE
It's super cute and I actually like it but still don't have the accessories to make a proper coord with this

These two images are actually different days but both still in September! This dress is cute and came with a BIG headbow that is too deflated to look good but I like this dress! I just don't wear it often

MY FAVORITE DRESS!!

I got this dress in October of 2024 and am stilllll wearing it often!! I got it from 42Lolita with a matching headbow and it's so comfy. I don't wear it with that blouse anymore but I use that blouse for regular work(will show later ^_^)

。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
This dress again lol

I was watching Creep 2 in my living room lol

2025 !!

This was early January!
I went out like this with a friend! We were originally going to go to the Oddities & Curiosities exhibit in LA but we realized we'd arrive far too late so we went to see Nosferatu in theaters instead (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

Ita for funsies!!
IMG-20250222-175435-06326a593c4bbb2e42496ba3cbcf8ebf1cf-0
This is Feb 2025!
I was gonna go to a furry rave with my friend and did't wear a dress nor petti with this as it would've been too many layers. I actually painted the hooves black after I took that picture and you can't see but I'm wearing black lamb ears as my fav animal and fursona is a Valais Blacknose Sheep!!

。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
I wish I got more pictures of this ૮₍˶ ╥ ‸ ╥ ⑅₎ა
IMG-20250201-122409-371
This was also February 2025 and I only wore this for a short while at home. I didn't take a full pic which I regrettttt!! I tried wearing this again in October but the zipper broke and I haven't fixed it yet ૮꒰  ˃̣̣̥△˂̣̣̥   ꒱ა

LOLITA AT WORK!!
20251101224025460
I wore lolita very rarely between March-September because the summer was INSANELY long this year!
For work, I was able to wear whatever I wanted on Halloween and I received SO MANY compliments from my coworkers and even some clients for the short time I was out of the small backroom I work in! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚
My friend and I hung out after work and we had sushi together! It was so fun ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡
I got a matching corset-belt(you can kinda see) that was wayyyy too small so I extended it with some hair-ties and used the dress's waist straps to cover them by tying them into a bow! I also used the blouse I had in the entry right above and used a matching hair bow on the collar(I bought a lot of matching accessories, the brand is Knight Night)

 。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
Literally yesterday lol
20251121181850083
I didn't take any full body pictures but it was a simple all-black coord

I'm hoping for a long winter so I can wear lolita more often! I'm still a beginner so my outfits are a bit simple and I haven't purchased or DIY'd any lolita in a longggggg time (tariffs ˙◠˙)
I've wanted to wear lolita ever since I was little and only last year was encouraged by someone very close to me to start my lolita fashion journey
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Note: 
1. I purchase a majority of my pieces off 42Lolita or secondhand on Ebay and Mercari
I tried DevilInspired ONCE and was immediately scammed lol still never got my money back nor the dress I ordered, don't buy from there.
2. I don't care about brand much at all(never have, my mom is obsessed with American luxury brands and I've always been very indifferent) so I'm not seeking out any brand pieces, only plus-size stuff that's in a style I enjoy.
3. I have disposable income bc I make a decent amount and don't have too many financial responsibilities so my lolita fashion journey is a bit faster than others but I'm also like 24 and work full-time ( ˆ𐃷ˆ )

Also here's that blouse I mentioned earlier, I wear it at work under a hook-in-eye lined camisole that isn't pictured well here cause it was cold in the office so I had a blanket on (ᵕ,,¬﹏¬,,)

Ofc! Have you seen the new season of the tapes?? I'm dying to see them!

by m0rf13n; ; Report

Yess!!! I've already watched eps 1-3 and i already like it more than season 1, the concepts of each episode so far are so creative

by ꫂ᭪tanks۶۟ৎ; ; Report

Really?? I suddenly feel more fiercely determined than ever. I'm going to give them a watch tonight and report back to you. I don't have anyone to yap about Creep with so be prepared! AHH so excited !! ty in advance

by m0rf13n; ; Report

pleaseee do!! i'd love to know your thoughts!! <3

by ꫂ᭪tanks۶۟ৎ; ; Report

Hi! sorry for late reply. I didnt want to respond until I finished all eps. but OMG IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! The og spot they used for the saw movie was so cool to see. Episode 2 was probably my favorite, outsmarting two cops was just chefs kiss (I didnt know Wolfie had aim like that lol), and the episode 1 with the copycat! So worth it. Its also interesting to see that Josef actually posts his snuff films and he has fans..? Very very epic and I cant wait for more.

by m0rf13n; ; Report

AAAA IM SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU ENJOYED IT!!! i noticed two episodes are women's names and i'm so excited to watch them because i loved Creep 2 and Josef's interactions with Sarah. she's the only female victim in the series so far and i love her so much, her dynamic with Josef hasn't been matched by any other victim so far besides Aaron so i'm really interested in see how he interacts with more women.
