i apologize for the span of time in between posts. last month i was sick for a few weeks and i have been keeping busy with Crossfit. because of these reasons, i did not wear lolita much in March or April.
a few Sundays ago i attended the third-annual Japan Festival Boston with the Boston community. i really enjoyed myself - seeing friends who i hadn't seen in awhile and meeting new ones!
as spring begins to manifest itself from the winds of winter, lolitas can finally look forward to agreeable weather and more frequent get-togethers! to commemorate this, i have put together some tips to creating your next gathering~
after my first visit to Fancy That, i had hoped to organize a meetup so others could check it out~ luckily a few weeks ago a few of us had afternoon tea here!
for this winter's meet, Carly, Kristen, and myself organized a meet that joined the Boston, Western Massachusetts, and Rhode Island communities. we chose the Langham Hotel in Boston as the location due to its beautiful venue, accommodating staff and its popularity in the past with the Chocolate Bar meets.
yesterday i attended the community swap meet at the Boston Public Garden. it was a perfect autumn day - not too hot or too cold; quite suitable for wearing lolita! i was really unsure of what my outfit would be, but i decided to wear Loyal Rosette out for the first time.
i am very lucky that i can wear lolita to work - i don't do it often, but it is very helpful that it falls into dress code. i keep it simple and toned down, but even still, my coworkers and customers are generally very positive and think the fashion is very cute! for that i am very lucky as well. it is especially helpful that it is so well received for a day like this past Saturday, where i attended a meetup after i finished work.
