"This was a while ago, but I just stumbled across some photos from the day in question so I felt the need to go off on someone.

I attended my first out-of-state convention with a couple of my friends, while also wearing lolita for the first time a while ago (I won’t name the con or the people). I’m poor as shit, so I’m lucky enough to be able to afford things from bodyline, so that’s what I got. For months I scoured the internet for “things not to do with lolita” or “proper lolita techniques” as to not look like a fool or be compared to one of those bad lolita blog posts or smth. The picture above is of me the first time I wore it. I went to the lolita meetup that our local lolita facebook group was promoting with a few of my friends who were in maid Lolita outfits they had bought for the event. I was so excited to be a part of the community as it was my first experience! I had been looking forward to it for almost a year at that point.

Walking into the room, I saw a sea of Angelic Pretty, BTSSB, Lis Liza, ect. I don’t even want to think of the total cost of all the people’s outfits. I was impressed though, and super excited to see my favorite prints in person (my fav is cat tea party and there were 4 of them!!!!). I had grown out of my socially awkward stage a while before this so I introduced myself to a whole bunch of people, including the director of the facebook page and her husband.
