/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I would really like to get a nice camera to take outfit pictures with, do any of you have a recommendation?
It doesn't have to be anything too fancy, I'd just like to be able to take photos with the kind of quality that for example Fanny Rosie has.
As you can tell I don't have much of a clue about cameras, just thought that it might be better to ask here than on /p/ in case any of you have a personal favorite or something! Thank you!

I work in the games industry, and my coworkers love seeing classic lolita and gothic lolita. I don't wear lolita every day, but I do at least once every other week, usually on Friday. OTT gothic only happens on Halloween, because why should I not participate in the visual fun when every other person comes in wearing their cosplay, and the entire marketing team suited up as the Power Rangers.

I don't wear sweet lolita to work, but a friend of mine (also in games) does it with mature sweet coords.

Generally for lolita fashion at work, I stick to a blouse-and-skirt combo. JSKs and OPs tend to look a little less formal. But you can amp up the formality by putting a blazer over it. I keep a blazer in my desk drawer, and when a meeting rolls around, I put it on, and I'm the first to enter and last to leave in the conference room. Any stuffy bigwigs coming to visit only sees a nice blazer with a ruffled blouse when I'm sitting down.

To work I avoid wearing prints, save for generic ones like stripes and small florals. Solid pieces where the cut or pleats are the focal point are generally a good bet. Think solids from IW, florals from MM, gothic coats from Boz, and military lolita skirts and jackets from taobao indie brands. Fanny Rosie's outfits for work generally are pretty in-line with a lot of office dress codes (she worked as a translator in an office in Montreal before moving to Okinawa).

Get at least one pair of high-quality heels: skip the pleather shit of lolita brands, and go for well-constructed, cute shoes made with real leather (Naturalizer, Clarks, Fluevogs).

My friends who wear lolita to work all do so in an office setting, and usually in some sort of tech-related or artistic field, like programming or design. Especially in the field of programming, there is a very low level of formality in terms of dress (t-shirt and jeans being the norm), so as long as you get your work done and done well, nobody will bat an eye at you wearing a poofy dress.
