Intl. Lolita Day

[Anonymous No.7589978]

For those unaware already, ILD is coming up really soon (June 7th, to be precise).

>What's your comm doing that day?
>Flying solo?
>Celebrating in spirit?
>What are you wearing (or would be wearing)?
(I suppose you could direct it to the coord help thread unless the image limit is breached)

I personally haven't decided what to wear yet and my meet up is mostly outdoors, but I don't think I'll be able to go all out because it would be hot out. My friends and I are going out for lunch and then check out a neighborhood antique sale.

[Anonymous No.7589985]

>What's your comm doing that day?
a meet with 75 lolitas. the theme is carnival masquerade
>Celebrating in spirit?
done that every year but not this year!
>What are you wearing (or would be wearing)?
i still need to come up with a mask or some prop

Dang. I haven't been to a mega meet in a long time. I don't know if you live near one, but my local Earthbound store sells carnival masks. I think a Jester's cane would go well with a gothic lolita outfit.

Oops, posted too soon. I don't know how one would go about it, but it would be kind of interesting to see a cotton candy prop.

Since it's summer vacation, and I moved away from my comm, I'll be going to a small meet with the next states over comm. This is the first time I've met them,so happy that it's kind of small/lowkey.

[Anonymous No.7590036]

>>7589985
Going to this too! Super excited, although I'm very shy, so also a little nervous about so many people.
I don't have anything that matches the theme, but I did make a matching mask that goes with my dress.

That sounds like fun. I hope it turns out well.

Boo. Well, hopefully they can plan something neat in the near future. Maybe you can plan a small, casual gathering?

[Anonymous No.7590043]

>>7590040
They have one on the 22 of June, I'm kind of new to the comm however so I don't think I would be able to put together even a small gathering because I don't really have any close friends yet.

Out of curiosity, if you're ashamed for people you know to see you in lolita, why are you one?

I'm fresh out of Highschool, so I still have dipshits added on facebook that wear uggs and think they're high fashion.
I'm not ashamed, I just don't want to deal with the "y u werin dat wat is dat ur weird" things

that's a good question, though, sorry if that came off as angry or anything

Well, just pm one of the mods with a pic of you in lolita. If they're attempting at all to weed out stalkers, you probably filled out a mini questionairre.

I'm part of a sizable comm but only seven girls are going to the ILD meet. I'm a bit sad. I love ILD because everyone has these amazing outfits but it seems like hush hush drama has made everyone decide to stay home.

>>7590058
Not that anon but there are some people I wouldn't wear lolita around, and unfortunately I'm friends with these people on FB. There's a difference between some random asshole on the street seeing me all frilled up and commenting on it from afar, and my ridiculously religious great-auntie seeing it, assuming I'm in some Satanist Sex Cult, calling my parents, calling the rest of my family, etc. I wear some toned down version of lolita every day but I'm not going to give my more unfortunate connections the chance to gossip about it.
I really want to just delete my Facebook but it's the only way I have of seeing what my local comm gets up to.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it's assumed to be a common idea that there are two lolita days in the year: during the first Saturday of June and December.

[Anonymous No.7591077]

Going to that Kawaii Parade thing in LA.
First Saturday off work in ages, it was meant to be.
Will be wearing classic, but what dress depends on the weather. My love of long sleeves destroys me every summer and severely limits my outfit choices.

[Anonymous No.7591120]

I'm an immense lolita lurker, technically into the fashion for around ten years but only wear it very occasionally, coupled with a lot of being too neurotic to wear it out and about anyway.

I'm basically a worthless neet (by the Japanese definition) that doesn't feel I deserve to wear lolita with the current state of my life and mindset. A part of me though kinda wants to get some lolita life into my bones and just wear casual lolita locally and on my lonesome for Intl Lolita Day, as a little treat to myself for actually making it outside in the first place.

Perhaps I should play up my poor mental state and just cackle and mumble something about 'must be getting home to my cats' if anyone makes obnoxious comments.

tl;dr version - I'm a sad, unstable, 4chan archetype loser that probably has no place dressing in lolita despite loving it.

[Anonymous No.7591149]

>>7590351
I'm not sure if you're from my comm, but I'm kinda bummed that our ILD meet is twinning themed. I only have a few dresses right now, and none are popular enough prints where I'd have a friend to twin with, and it's a little late to order something new.

You could wear hime sleeve blouses like Misako in your pic where it's like 3/4 sleeve and chiffon. I just end up a sweaty mess and make sure to check my face before taking group/individual pics.

Don't even remember as I can't attend the meet anyway. Some overpriced afternoon tea, I think.
>Flying solo?
Yup.
>Celebrating in spirit?
Probably.
>What are you wearing (or would be wearing)?
I might wear a non-lolita Angelic Pretty outfit, but then again I usually work out in the morning and have work in the afternoon so probably not. If I was going to a meet I'd probably wear Day Dream Carnival

I wonder what people from the Tokyo comm are doing for ILD.

[Anonymous No.7593324]

This is the first ILD that I'm not working on, but it's also the first ILD for a few years that my local comm isn't doing anything. I was really disappointed but my boyfriend cheered me up by offering to take me out for lunch so I still have an excuse to dress up for it. Probably will only wear something casual but it's better than nothing! Excited!

[Anonymous No.7593330]

I might not be able to attend the event my comm is hosting, because they're hosting it pretty far away from Toronto. Either way, I'm trying to throw together a coord (posted here >>7589462 ) to wear. If I can't go I'll probably go somewhere with my boyfriend in lolita

[Anonymous No.7593426]

I thought she looked like a crazy cat lady in the pic, geddit? Oh dear.

Is it frowned upon to give a timeframe to your interests in attempt to add context? Or is it always hipster-esq without exception?

I reckon I might just dress up and stay inside, see if I can spark any of the old dress-up kicks and see how it goes. Really looking forward to all the meet-up pics that are gonna surface regardless though.

We were going to have a pretty cool meet of a pastry shop and antiquing to follow, but it turns out most girls in our small comm are not going to make it. I might end up meeting up with one of the girls, but unfortunately my ILD plans are not going to be as elaborate as I had thought.

[Anonymous No.7593645]

I don't know how related this is, but a friend of mine (a guy btw) may or may not have spotted you. He's a fan of the fashion (doesn't wear it, but has expressed interest in trying, however, would rather have my expertise about that matter) and told me that he spotted a full-on lolita, but want to call any attention to her because he didn't want to come off as a creep. I didn't think there would be much of a lolita presence in Minnesota.

Do wineries even allow people who are 'high as fuck'? Nothing against (responsible) recreational drug use but inflicting your altered mental state on others who are just doing their job seems a bit douchey.

My comm is having a picnic, or going to a cafe if it rains. It's been cold as hell the last few weeks though so I'm not really keen on dressing up. And I have nothing to wear. I hate to always wear the same dresses to meets, I sold a bunch of ones so now I basically rinse and repeat my coordinates and it makes me feel kind of... cheap?

I just found out from one of my mods that I cannot attend our ILD meetup at my comm. A baby lolita who just joined our comm needed some advice. I gave her advice on coordinating better. She turned around and baww'd at a mod saying that an elitist brandwhore didn't like my coords and suggested to lose weight and buy better, but can't afford brand.

This is the same baby lolita that harassed my friend to donate her DDC to her for zero compensation. Also note the baby lolita is the first African American in our comm and that the mod said we needed more diversity.

Thats news to me. I have to take photos for a project anyway, so i might as well kill curiosity and get some work done.

Are you talking about the AZ comm? There's a big con that usually falls on the weekend so we have belated summer ILD meets. Tucson is having a casual meet for the few of them who aren't going to the con and still want to celebrate ILD.

I wish my comm had a Christmas meet! They just sort of has a winter IlD and then nothing till around February if we're lucky.
(I've tried hosting meets but no one attends unless its the summer-the rest I the time my comm is lazy and boring)

God I want to see that movie! I forgot about this till now! Maybe I can drag somebody to come see it with me after the meet.

I've tried hosting meets at movies before, but all everyone does is complain about which movie to see, or the ones who can agree on a movie are fucking talkers the whole way through! Almost punched a few bitches out last summer

Is anyone else laughing at this ILD at Disney? Did they really plan anything at all?

[Anonymous No.7601678]

>>7601644
is that the same chick who always spams various communities (like, SCOTLAND) yammering about ILD in disney?

[Anonymous No.7601741]

>>7601678
Noooo idea. I'm just wondering if they had any event planning experience at all? No deposits were being taken, not actual event was planned with Disney coordinators and having people from out of state make their own reservations. I hope they are aware that this does NOT guarantee that all those parties will be seated anywhere near each other - as far as Disney knows, they are separate guests. No idea what they were thinking.

I was supposed to go to a picnic with my comm.

instead, I had to leave town on short notice because my partner's grandma passed away. shit sucks. she liked listening to me when I talked about lolita. she was a very fashionable lady. I never got a chance to show off my dresses to her.

I hope you enjoy your meetups, and for those who can't make it, I hope you can put on your frills for a little bit and enjoy the day anyway.

If I hadn't already made plans that day, I totally would. Good luck anon!

Eventually decided upon dressing up an excited normalfag friend with me and heading down to PMall for waffles and shopping, and not sure how long we'll be, otherwise I'd be down for >>7601372's cafe idea

I know how you feel anon. I currently only have four outfits and wearing the same thing to a meet for the third time feels... bad, really. I've tried spicing it up but in the end it's the same dress with the same shoes and the same hair accessory. I just don't like showing up in my comm's pictures looking practically the same every time.

[Anonymous No.7602475]

>>7590066
If you're really bothered, you can do what my friend has done. She has two different accounts, one for one group of people and one for another group. Or you can just set the settings on lolita related posts and photos so that only some people can view them!

[Anonymous No.7602509]

My friend's organising a meet, but most of the girls attending are the ones in our clique. I have a sneaking feeling that the rest of the more 'famous' girls are having their own meet and not inviting us, but I could just be a paranoid bitch about this.

Not sure what I'm wearing, I have the same problem as >>7602439 and >>7601237 so I'll probably just recycle a main piece with different head accessories or something.

Same here anon.
I also live on an tourist island during the summer because the pay is really high so I'm pretty sure I'm the only lolita here.
It's mostly full of rich assholes who would probably harass me if I wore it out anyway.

[Anonymous No.7602750]

Seriously, a lot of the time I feel like the more famous girls in my comm are purposely avoiding the actual comm's meets and planning their own.

My comm is having a small meet up at a tea house and then going to an art exhibition, but I won't be going.
I am helping with my nephew's graduation party this weekend, and I saw the exhibition less than two weeks ago. I wish my comm was bigger and we did something fun every year, like the comm that does twinning.

[Anonymous No.7604559]

Happy ILD everyone! I hope you had/still have a nice and fun day.
I'm a bit sad because I didn't had plans and was so lazy I didn't even wear any dress today. But tomorrow's my first aniversary with my boyfriend so I'm sooooo wearing a cute coord and baking a cake for him. I hope to see pics of many lolis soon in this thread too! Show me your pretty looks anons~

[Anonymous No.7604564]

Studied all day. Put some stuff on lacemarket. Browsed auction sites.

Every day is lolita day for me.

Hope you all had a great day! Or at least a bit less hermity than mine.

[Anonymous No.7604581]

My comm had a potluck, but I didn't go because it was two hours away from me.

Ended up going to the Hobby Lobby that recently opened near my house and watched anime with my BF. I guess I could bring up my wishlist and cry about it to make my day more lolita related.

[Anonymous No.7604668]

Really mad. I spent the day at work, in scrubs. My whole comm is at a con today, and the boyfriend doesn't want to leave the house. I just wanna get dolled up...

[Anonymous No.7604707]

Lone lolita here - today I decided I could spare some time from finals preparation and I went to a high-end shopping center near my uni to window shop for a while. I got a couple questions/compliments from salespeople and shoppers, one 'ahahaha ewwww', one woman who couldn't understand it wasn't a costume, and then somehow I started an argument between two old ladies about online shopping.

It's amazing how wearing lolita gave me the confidence to walk into expensive stores and browse like I belonged there. Normally I'd avoid those places out of shame over money and how I normally dress, but damn it, I look rich today so rich I'll pretend I am.

[Anonymous No.7604759]

>>7604707
I know how you feel about those high class stores, once I got questions by one of the ladies about where I got my cute dress from. It seems normal(nonanimu/comic/nerds) people can have a better absorption of what lolita is compared to nerds who seem to insist what I'm wearing is cosplay.

Our comm had a good time today, we went to a local museum and chatted. It was a smaller group than I'd hoped for, and a few of the girls had to duck out early, but we still had a good time.

LA comm had a really lame/boring walk.

Somehow cosplayers were involved and as always they ruin everything.

>Spent the walk just chatting with the other girls.
Same. You don't go to these things for the walk part, it's just an excuse to socialize.
That said, trying to get a group of 60+ people across a street is a disaster waiting to happen.
I'm glad it wasn't 100 degrees outside in any case.
>>7601237
>I hate to always wear the same dresses to meets, I sold a bunch of ones so now I basically rinse and repeat my coordinates and it makes me feel kind of... cheap? I know it probably doesn't matter but it's making me not want to go to meetups as much.
If it makes you feel any better, Rinrin used to wear the same two outfits over and over and now she's a model for AP. Pic related, I saw her in this coordinate at least 4 times at different events but she looked so good in it nobody cared.

I went and saw Belle today. I was a good film and there are some scene that will make you cry in frustration and joy.

I wore my Ball at Versailles JSK from IW in honor Belle being shown. Several ladies liked the print and thought that I dressed up to see Belle.

Besides going to see Belle, I went to a pastry shop for brunch and macarons, a book store, and then an antique store. Following Belle, I got some ice cream.

Pic related, muh macarons.
