Lolita in 2013

Hello everyone,

Well part of my new year resolution in lolita is to try to wear as many different styles and outfits as possible without planning too much. I never plan outfits ahead of time... i mean maybe the previous day or something but never weeks in advance and most certainly never have I bought anything to wear a dress. I just wear the stuff and that's that.

That does mean that sometimes i risk coords being hit and miss or that I will be lacking stuff to match a colorway or style (it usually happens more with sweet lolita for obvious reasons) but that just makes me wanna try things more. It's fun! 

Today I bring you two outfits. I usually post a bit more about my day but we pretty much did the same thing in both: we went to a coffee shop (same one actually), had something to eat and drink and chatted a lot. Just the girls going out and enjoying life. 

I got the Metamorphose Candy Star Rabbit Onepiece in pink recently. 

I always wanted the blut jsk but can never find it so I decided to try this one instead. Unfortunately i have nothing to match it and its rather short for me (in my opinion of course) so I have decided to let it go. Maybe I can find the version I like best someday and I'll try coordinating it again.

I was chatting with my good friend lucythewhite and remembered she owned the perfect bag for this dress, her box swimmer mint dotted bag so she came over that same day to visit Mari and leave the bag so i could use it the next day. I had to decide between two tight choices... I was going for these really busy and odd leopard print tights but she said the bright pink ones matched perfectly so I went with those. I think i still liked the other ones better so when i came back home i had to try them on with the outfit. I regret not trusting my instincts haha. 

This is what i ate: a berry tart and an expresso of course
(portuguese are big expresso fans)

And this is the coordinate I did with that dress.
You can totally see how funny I feel in that outfit,
look at my face, i swear i must have laughed right after that shot.
I think its pretty cute though.

And this was taken when i came back home.
Those were my first option that i decided against because of my friends suggestion.

See how the bag matches the presents? 

The last saturday we had another gathering. I had worn sweet lolita twice in a row so I really didn't feel like wearing it. I decided to wear a dress I am trying to sell too. I always do that so I can decide if I really want to sell them or not... maybe i'll change my mind... one never knows.
I think i might keep it afterall, I have too many black pieces in my closet but this is so comfortable.
It's a black Pinasweetcollection Onepiece. It's actually up for sale at the moment if you are interested!

We went to the same place. There's a reason for that. It's called Boulangerie de Paris and they had 3 venues. We used to go there from time to time because one of them is actually in the downtown area and its very convenient. For some reason we don't have a lot of tea houses in Porto and finding a place with french style pastries is also kind of difficult so we loved it.
Last year, without warning, the owner just decided to close for lack of funds and didn't even pay his employees etc. It was all over tv and everyone was shocked and sad too of course. Finally after many months another company bought Boulangerie de Paris and this store (one of the 3) was the first to open. The cakes are a bit different (less yummy) but its still far better than always going to the typical portuguese coffee shop and we missed it. So we ended up going twice to celebrate its return.

They have photos of Paris views all around the shop. 

This is what I wore, it felt quite casual and confortable.

Me and lucythewhite. I feel like we're always togehter,
but we never have photos together. I'm happy we took one.

I  finally found a way to coordinate those tights. They are from Juliette et Justine btw.
If you are 170cm tall and you wear a euro 42 and thought brand tights cannot fit you,
Innocent World and Juliette et Justine tights do and they are confortable enough.
Let me know if you'd like a review!

Also I've been thinking  I should start writing in Portuguese. There are so many english blogs already and I don't think there are Portuguese lolita blogs in portuguese (I know some girls from brazil do blog in portuguese though!) so maybe I should think about it. If nobody things it makes sense then i'll decide against it of course.

Well that's it for today, 

a big kiss as usual, Jo
