#oldschoollolita
Lolita days (2008 - 2011) from a big wave of nostalgia I decided to put toghether pictures I have found across the web of my lolita days. For thoses who remember, I was petitemoon@LJ :) I can’t believe how lucky I was to have spent my teenage years in a gothic frilly dream. To being exited all the time, whenever we got closer to lolita culture, even when it was just a small dumb section in a manga book store, where there was an authentic baby dress and we would look at the tag and feel the fabric and we were so exited. I am so thankful I got into Lolita when it was so new, girls were still sewing their own dresses to look like Lolitas, Kamikaze girls just got out (that was BIG man), and fellow lolitas across montreal were rare. I am planning onto writing a whole blog about my Lolita times and experience because it was so fucking fun and special.

The local weirdo strikes again.
I’ve been wanting to do a street snap wearing old school EGL/EGA (the lines were more blurred back then) for a while, but taking your own pictures with the self-timer of a DSLR with no front screen, in the middle of a street, is not easy. Good thing the only traffic in that street consisted of pedestrians and bicycles.
Outfit rundown:
Dress: second-hand Carina e Arlequin †
Blouse: second-hand Innocent World
Purse: second-hand Moi-même-Moitié
Shoes: Yosuke
Cameo: vintage
Headbow: second-hand Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Parasol: Alice and the Pirates (bought new, but in 2010)
