>mostly Bodyline, some terrible, some nice handmade items
>saw a few Gothic Lolitas, most of them pretty awful
>even the shittiest Sweet Lolitas get more attention and pictures taken than me
>mfw

I have to admit, I was so fucking jealous.
Sure, I did not have the best or most attention grabbing coord, but I think I had a pretty decent coord with a nice brand piece, I spend half an hour on a hairstyle with my own hair, searched for the right accessories ecetera. And still, even the most boring Sweet Lolita with a shitty Bodyline pastel dress and pastell split wig got more attention than me.
I think what especially disappointed me was that I was wearing Sweet last year too, and even though my coord was not very good, I still got more attention than this year despite all the effort and progress I made.

>in b4 attention whore!!1
I knew, I should not do this for attention, wah wah, but it is a con and I am honest, I wanted maybe a little attention. I had a lot of fun, this just grinded my gears a bit.
