We've both been absolutely terrible about blogging and keeping this blog updated since our last post! It's not really a case of being incredibly busy, more it is a case of us just . . . forgetting we had a blog! But we're both hoping that this will change this year, seeing as it's going to be a busy year for us both! This year we'll be auditioning for universities, attending conventions with our business, working very hard on our wardrobes and trying to squeeze in as much as possible before we officially become poor university students!
We thought to kick off a new start and a new year for our blog, we'd do one of those irrepressible and constant posts in the blog world (and in the lolita world) - a list of New Year's Resolutions! This year we tried to get as involved with the lolita community as a whole and embrace the aesthetic as much as we could, and we hope we did a pretty good job. Without further ado, here's a list of lolita-specific resolutions we're both trying to fulfil for this year!
- Stop buying things just because they are cheap and might not be available again; only buy things we both really like that will fit us and fit in with our wardrobe theme cohesively. This ties in with our resolution to buy more brand and indie and less bodyline (with the exception of a couple of prints and styles we've wanted for a while!)
- Buy a lot more basics; blouses, tights, and boleros spring to mind before all others! I have a lot more of a collection of blouses than Haz, but I still could do with a super fancy classic/hime blouse and a good solid black blouse, and Haz has a few problems with the fit of blouses and wants to get one custom made!
- Get a big, good, bag that will work with most of our co-ords and will fit all of our stuff in!
- Look at how pieces coordinate with our outfits and wardrobes before we buy them, and try and work on getting things to fit in with our colour palettes and styles!
- Attend more meetups and try and wear lolita at least once a month, as well as becoming more active in the online loli community.
- More shoes! Always, always more shoes.
- Try and get at least one wish list item each, whether it be something as small as an accessory or as big as an OP!
- Try out an indie or a taobao brand. Haz also wants to do a taobao order for basics, so experimenting with taobao is a resolution all on its own! I think we could especially do with some nice head pieces.
General Goals 2015
We both also have a couple of things we'd like to do totally unrelated to lolita! I'm making a note of them here so we can look back at the beginning of - gulp! - 2016 and see how things went over the year!
- Start to save money for our wedding.
- Dedicate a lot more time and energy to our shop; in the first half of the year we're attending Yorkshire Cosplay Con and Majjikon with Twinkle Kitty Boutique, so we really need to step up our game!
- Get into university! This is a pretty big one.
- See more theatre; for musical theatre students, we spend an awful lot of money on pretty clothes and not as much as we probably should surrounding ourselves with our subject of study. . .
- Blog more!
Thank you all for sticking with us even through this long hiatus! We'll see you soon, hopefully!
