LBC: Lolita inspiration

  As a fashion, lolita is relatively slow paced, and very structured. Compared to mainstream where every season sees new styles, we only saw a few major evolutions, especially since it is only about two decades old, like the end of the maxi pad headdresses, the start of OTT sweet... A few trends come and go but they tend to repeat themselves and revolve around the same themes (animals, flowers...). So we each need to find inspiration to create our own individual style, by looking at each other, thrifting, looking at other fashions...

  The way I do this is with my inspiration book (since I call it that way, it was perfect for this week's theme). In it, I compile all of the things I like and which inspire me as a lolita.
  It's also my place to go when I'm down and lacking pink in my life!

  I chose this cute diary I had and I stick into it, in a carefully planned mess, clothes tags, photos of lolita models, magazine cut outs, photos of other lolitas, cupcakes, lolita related art, stickers, purikura, and so much more!  I also divided it into sections for sweet, classic and gothic, so  I can look at whatever style I want and have the pictures together.

  1. Aww that is so neat, an inspiration book! I started scrapbooking a while ago but then stopped because it was hard work. I cannot believe how lazy I am. I feel like doing it again because of this. Maybe I will <3

    1. Thanks! I'm glad it can inspire you, that is perfect for this week's prompt ;) I just do it in my free time, whenever I'm home in France and watching late night TV with my family. It is perfect for a lazy day!

  2. I have an inspiration book too! But it's kinda "virtual" as I'm too lazy to compile one....I mean, I'm still forgetting to update the "Love book" with remindings about my boyfriend and I XD so I try to collect images in mind to get inspired :)

    1. That's great! I also compile LOADS more images in folders, especially if it's inspiration for sewing a dress, then I'll make a folder just for that! And when I'm working or prepping for a meet, I have the images in the folders pass on my screen.
