/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>10690599

I love clothes and fashion so much, but I don't have any friends who feel the same way. I put effort into coordinating my clothes because it makes me feel good about myself, but I can't talk to my friends about it because they just don't care. It can be disheartening at times. I want to make new friends who share that interest, but I have no idea how.

>tfw have so many comfy pics of myself and friends but like hell I'm selfposting here

>tfw I’m considering becoming an Ana-chan until I feel comfortable in my brand but don’t want to become addicted bc I’m a pussy

I love lolita and cosplay but I just feel like I’m not built for it and there’s nothing I can do to fix it bc I’ll never look the way I want.

>tfw due to meds my weight fluctuates like crazy from month to month so I can never tell for sure if something is going to always fit when I'm buying new things or planning coords

Should I invest in a corset for when my weight is higher or just die?

>tfw want to go to my first pride parade in lolita
>tfw summer
I'm still closeted but have some gay friends, plus the event seems very fun and I do have some very nice lightweight dresses I can wear... but just thinking about going out there in this weather makes me want to cry.

>mfw I low key wish these >tfw no lolita gf guys would see me in public
I'm not eager to date anyone but I wear lolita daily and barely anyone ever approaches me, and while it doesn't really bother me either way, it is nice to hear positive feedback from people who like the fashion.

>tfw no qt cgl bf or gf to shower them in burando

>receive from ali my open bezel tape
>there is a little handwritten not with my name on it who hope I will have fun using the item will doing craft

Iktf anon, I was so close to getting one but he pussied out on me. I was looking forward to getting all that sweet sweet burando.

I haven't worn Lolita in months. I still love how it looks, just university is sucking the life and energy out of me. The time it takes to get ready, combined with the fact that wigs give me wig ache and my shoes are uncomfortable means I have no motivation to wear it. All these pretty dresses hanging in my wardrobe and no desire to wear them. It sucks.

2017 was a dumpster fire of a year for me in a lot of ways. After being laid off from my decent (~28k/year) job, I struggled to get even a shitty job. I had to move back home, which isn't a comfortable situation, and whatever smidgen of social life I had was lost. My self-esteem really took a nosedive, and so did my appearance.

I decided that I was going to change the situation in 2018, and it's working. I made plans to move out, cut off some old ties that were holding me back, and started working (in earnest) on the things that are important to me, like my studies and crafting. I also made the decision to start being more authentically me (as opposed to toning it down around "normies") and just let whatever shit comes my way roll off my back.

The only downside to all this is the amount of money I've blown through in the last week. Between buying basics I'd not been able to afford for a year, repairing some electronics, and having a few dream items pop up, I've spent over half my (small) tax refund in a week.
