/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>What kind of clothing do you like to wear outside of Lolita? (Or for cosplayers, when you're not in cosplay)
most days of the week my work uniform (pantsuit), on days off jeans and screened tees and hoodies and sneakers. in the summertime maybe a sun dress.
>Is your wardrobe what some would call 'cohesive' (IE a bunch of different styles that seem to go together) or is it more of a hodge podge?
looks like any typical 20something college student in jeans and tshirt. sometimes I wish I kept it more together, but I tend to buy shirts in colors I like, so just mainly golds and greens and teal and purple and black. I don't think I could make a full wardrobe from those colors alone, so maybe tshirts are for the best. Also I'm messy and spill things on my shirts, I'd be heartbroken is it was fancy and I ruined it
>What would you like to change about your style Lolita or otherwise?
be in better shape. don't feel comfortable cosplaying with anything with a hint of belly/thigh. drink more water so better face skin, it ruins pictures
>Do you sometimes wear pieces of your cosplay with 'normal' clothes?
no I just have my tshirts. some are anime related, but I save those for special days.
>Are you the type who doesn't care about fashion/style/self-presentation at all outside of your hobbies?
I actually have makeup as one of my primary hobbies, and want to get better at it, maybe extra special effects makeup skills would be good to use, makeup advice is what led me to this as a hobby I guess. and this is all weird because I only wear makeup 3 days a week at work, otherwise only if I know there will be cameras around me for like a group outing or whatever. I love it but I get so beat down from work I do it less now ... sad

pic attached is how I wish I would do my makeup all the time in my free time (work makeup I usually only do natural looking stuff), but I am unmotivated usually and I only have me to blame for that. (this was my halloween makeup)
