I hope you have fun, lolitanon. I know that feel of fearing being a basic bitch, but in this day and age of ott, you might end up making a statement. Imho, I think the lolitas attending the event would rather see people wearing well put together coords than a Milanoo mess anytime. I would try finding statement accessories or pieces that would complete your coord while making it cohesive and that you wouldn't normally see in a given lolita outfit, like interesting pair of vintage shoes or hats or broaches (as opposed to a rosette for example). I hope you're already checking out the interacting in a meet up thread and will utilize the coord help thread, too.

From my experience in going to huge meets where people are expected to go all out, it's ok to not mingle with everyone, and chances are you're only going to have so much time to talk with people and there are others like you who are the same way about going to social events. Make it a goal to make at least one friend. A tip is to stay away from your phone as much as possible. I think it's ok to sit quietly and observe until you feel comfortable. I'm used to hosting events and I notice the quieter ones in the group pretty quickly (and that's ok! I'm usually a quiet person, but my head spins a million miles per hour). I prefer the good listener over a chatterbox who thinks they know everything and talks over people. I think you'll run into people who will make the effort to invite you and others like you into conversation.
