I feel that a lot of people at these ev...Thank you!<br />I feel that a lot of people at these events see that there are these amazing OTT outfits and feel that they then have to then 'up their game' and go more OTT. It is going to be interesting to look at the outfits after the big events of this year to see if the level of OTT has gone up or stayed about the same. Truth be told, I think there is a growing number of people who don't like the more OTT outfits. I personally find that if I worry too much about if I am on the same level as other lolitas at the event, it takes away a bit of the enjoyment I experience.<br /><br />These comments have given me a lot to think about with regards to future blog posts. Maybe I need to explore this area a bit more.

I once made...I hope you enjoy your first big event! I once made a 'spare' outfit and it ended up being the outfit I wore! I have stayed in London for these events before though, and I do know that suitcase space is very valuable. Plus you may also need room if the vendors/bring and buy are especially good.<br /><br />Those sort of blog posts are very helpful. It is all about the practice. Although I don't really share it on my blog, whenever I get a new dress I will do a brainstorm of how I could co-ordinate it. Crafting is definitely one of those things that you sort of have to teach yourself throughout the year. I did make my Regalia sash with no previous experience in the run-up to the event, but that is only because by that point I was satisfied with how my outfit looked so far and it was sort of an added extra. Although sashes are easy to buy as well!<br /><br />I am glad you like the achievement ladder idea! I also love your suggestion of adding little treats when you reach certain goals. That would provide a nice little added incentive!

Been thinking ...Now this is a nice lolita topic! :D<br />Been thinking about writing about my own coordinating habits and thoughts as well as the sort of competing with the most ott and original "costume" like outfit. This happens especially in big events...sadly :(<br /><br />It's nice to know what people do and think behind the exterior in lolita. Its very interesting to read about it. Happy I found your blog and I remember your outfit from Regalia. ^_^<br />*following*<br /><br /><a href="http://frillycakes.blogspot.fi/" rel="nofollow">~ Frillycakes ~</a>Saija Sasetarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947947040922894034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007649283775805988.post-43984591057102126192016-07-21T07:38:35.144-07:002016-07-21T07:38:35.144-07:00This year is the first time that I'm going to ...This year is the first time that I'm going to a big event like this, and not only did I manage to complete both outfits (main event and tea party one), but I eve have a "spare", which made me think very hard as to which two I should take (because I don't want to be dragging a mahoosive suitcase around London with me). It's probably thanks to the theme being quite within my comfort zone: I already had ideas not just on what to wear, but also on how to step it up into something more, and fortunately only needed little bits to finish off both coords.<br /><br />But I think in general/in the future I will rely quite a lot on the "1 dress X outfits" posts that I do on my blog. Doing these helps me see which pieces go together, but also provides me with at least 4 base outfits for a dress that I can then build up on. Though I'm not that comfortable/skilled (yet) with crafting, so I have to restrict my OTT ideas to either things I can buy or things I know I can make without stressing myself out about messing something up.<br />Although I do love your idea of treating big event outfit planning as an achievemet ladder, I think that's brilliant! Seeing how much progress you've made rather than focusing on everything not being done is very motivational, and you could even prepare yourself little treats to mark those achievements (maybe a new bit of make-up or a trip to the cinema). I think I'll try that in the future for sure. :D<br /><br /><br /><br />http://cupcakes-and-unicorns.blogspot.co.uk/Cupcake Kamisamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17740637850835315898noreply@blogger.com
