✧˖°Running Out of Space and Wardrobe Collection.°˖✧

After three to four years of somewhat being a 'dedicated' lolita, I have finally reached the point

of limited space in my closet. My lolita clothes were stored in my main closet along side with my normal clothes. At the beginning of 2014, I had declared this year to be: "THE YEAR OF LOLITA". This was the year I would buy more dresses, and it was the year I would actually force myself to attend my first meet up. Yes, I needed to force myself to attend a meet up from my local lolita community. That, I have been aware of for years. I did lack the confidence in my socializing skills to be able to partake in frilly related conversations. It did stop me from reaching out to my community until I had entered a mindset of pushing aside any lolita related insecurities. 

I am grateful that I actually started to interact and attend meet ups because the members in our community are incredibly nice and easygoing. 

Although, I'll never forget the first two people who approached me at my first meet up. The first person was a girl who was only living in Orlando because she was a participant in the Disney's College Program. The second girl was visiting from Canada and the meet up was dedicated to having a chance to meet her. If you can guess it, I was dying of excitement from within as the girl from Canada approached me. I'd like to believe that she most likely felt the anxiety manifesting from me and decided to somehow comfort me with a conversation. It worked, I felt more comfortable and less nervous. The girl who was a CP (that's what we call the college program participants) was also engaging in a lot of conversations with me. I'll never forget how relieved I felt the moment I had a chance to feel at ease. From then on, the meet up ended up being very lovely.

Whoops, I went a bit off topic. 

Going back to the "THE YEAR OF LOLITA" spiel, I have bought more lolita items within 2014 than from within any years prior. Lolita was quickly accumulating in my closet to the point where I was starting to run out of room. It was stressing me out to look over at my closet and see ALL of my clothes crammed together. 

It was also more difficult to find a particular shirt or blouse when all of my clothes were jammed together. 

Around a week and a half ago, I decided to invest in a portable wardrobe.

While transferring my lolita stuff to the new wardrobe, I decided to take photos of my dress collection and post them on here.

 This will also act as a good way for me to keep track of print names and such.

Buying a portable wardrobe for lolita was truly a life saver. 

It certainly isn't as cute as other ones I've seen, but I still love it.

My closest looks a tad bit better.

Also, I never knew the name of the Innocent World dress until this post.

I spent quite some time trying to find the name of that specific JSK. 

I'm glad now I know it's name!

Last entry for this blog was back in April ... 

Yikes, lots of catching up to do! 

Right now, I am watching an episode from American Horror Story's second season, Asylum.

I've been trying to catch up on most television shows/anime/films that I've always wanted

to watch. Seeing as I only have about 3 weeks before my first day of school... 

I'm trying to take advantage of this free time as much as possible. 

Before my life becomes enslaved to studying and working.

First Alice and the Pirates Dress! Now ... Where to even begin? ★

Blargh!

Oh my goodness.

I've allowed this blog to die! Poor thing ...

(￣◇￣;)

 I have just been extremely lazy with updating! 

If you follow me on Instagram or are friends with me on Facebook I have 

been pretty active on there. My Tumblr is somewhat active to say the least.

I've just been concentrating on my own personal interest and I do not 

necessarily live an eventful life ...

I guess you could say very few things has happened.

Not much goes on in Orlando and on most days the weather is just too

bothersome to deal with. I find myself constantly wearing shorts and a T-shirt.

(▰˘︹˘▰)

Although, I did get to go to the Kyary concert in NYC back in last month! 

I also had a chance to attend my first Lolita meet up last month as well.

Hopefully, I will be able to attempt posting about those later on.~

Ah, the highlight of my life at the moment is the fact that I'm attempting to indulge myself more

into catering my thirst for fashion. I've realized how easily I spend money on ...

Pretty much ... Any thing ... Errr...

There is no real need, as I tell myself constantly, to blind yourself from your goals.

If you want to achieve a specified appearance for yourself, you have to work for it.

Cliche, although, it is as simple and as effective as it sounds.

You have to maintain an incredible amount of will power to keep your mind focused.

Maintaining focus has always been a true challenge of mines. Fluctuating rapidly from

one idea to the next describes how the creative process in my brain works.

As much as it is good that I have the capability of improvising and staying on my feet ...

It also has a major disadvantage. 

I never finish what I start ... I've initiated a good amount of projects but, they have

never shown any form of momentum. An obsession will form with what ever comes to mind

and I act upon it for a bit. Though, I tend to quickly forget about said idea and have an 

urgency to move on to the next. 

Lately, I have been trying to stop myself from thinking in a particular way.

As this notable saying goes, Rome was certainly not built in a day ...

We also can't forget, Though it doesn't hurt to try does it?

Here's an outfit from yesterday's date with the good ol' boyfriend:

Here's a delicious sandwich I ate at Earl's Sandwich over at Downtown Disney:

Oh my goodness ... I'm craving a sandwich like this right now.

╥﹏╥

I decided to start all over again with blogger and with blogging in general.

Even though, I do feel guilty for continuously saying how I am starting over with blogging.

I've written posts two or three times on my other blog about how I'm going start fresh and start over.

Then I apologize and end up writing really long posts. 

Then it ends up being a very few amount of posts every couple of months.

Eventually, I  end giving up out of laziness. 

(*´ｪ｀*)

 Though, I do hope I can stick to this 'blogger's commitment'.

I'm also going to remain calm and true to myself as a blogger.

I use to go through unnecessary anxiety towards my blog and I just didn't know what to write about.

I guess I have a better idea of what I want to do with my blog.

Even though, it won't probably be that much different from my other blog.
