/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Where do you work?
I have a job that's difficult to explain, but the jist of it is that I work in my university's Students' Union as a sort of leader/ director.

>How do you wear the fashion at work?
I can go as full on as I like. Working with Students means there's absolutely no limit to what is acceptable. I've run training workshops wearing honey cake, chaired meetings in pastel vomit abominations, sat at my desk checking emails looking like a frilly vampire, that sorta thing.

The only time I would choose more carefully is for meetings with university senior management or at formal occasions run by the uni. My classic lolita pieces (especially JetJ) have come in handy hugely here, as I don't actually own any normal formal dresses.

>Any tips?
Dress to the occasion and be mindful of your audience and the activities you'll be doing. Office work? Wear something that's comfortable to sit down in. Important meeting? Depending on who it is, tone it down/ stick to classic, or avoid it. Fairly active/ messy work? Steer clear of lolita entirely.

For all the growing up I have done.
For everything I've done to try and abandon the shameful past...

I still want to be kawaii. Not cute, kawaii.
And its a struggle because I'm this lumbering landwhale and I'm trying to be more mature and do things that are more adult but it feels like I am a little baby chick stuck in the body of a 30 pound turkey. Gobble gobble, motherfucker.

So even if I'm not open about it, an obsession of kawaii is something I struggle with every day. I see the kawaii everywhere I go, in things that shouldn't be seeing as such.
