pic related is one of the first coords I fell in love with. everything about this photo makes me happy.

quick storytime: my first exposure to lolita fashion was through an original gothic u.k. brand (called dracinabox) when I was 14/15. I thought it was just a youthful fairytale style of gothic and had no idea I was looking at old school gothic, or that it was a Japanese alt fashion with such a rich subculture.
it was etched into me and became my aesthetic, as I tried to recreate the look with halloween costumes every year. years later, when I finally had my own money, the u.k. site had dwindled to dying. my search for more stuff like it finally brought me to LJ EGL and coords like pic related.

I love lolita so much.

my all time favorite coord

one of the coords that properly got me into lolita

I love her because she experiments often and can be a completely badass buccaneer in one coord, and then timelessly, regally beautiful in the next. she's tatted up and I adore her.

also, this is probably my fav coord of all time.
