Unexpected Visitors

Hello!

I have been prettty absent lately, the truth is that after LVER I had not worn lolita up till yesterday night. I am still in mad love with the clothes but the lack of a decent community here and the fact that I feel more and more unconfortable wearing it around my town for a bunch of different reasons (some known and some that not even I know) has made me grow a bit detached from the fashion this year.

Fortunately though I got the chance to meet one of the international lolitas that i consider my friends this week, another SFE member, Josine. She and her mom decided to visit my town, Porto and so we could at least see each other twice.
The first time we met the weather was absolutely terrible, the worst really, super strong abnormal winds, rain, cold but we still managed. My husband was kind enough to be our driver and we also took Mari. We met them at their rented apartment and then headed over to a local traditional cousine restaurant, Abadia. Josine's mom said she remembered having a codfish dish she loved years back so we ordered the closest thing possible. It was a really nice dinner, it was our pleasure to invite them. <3 After that we rode around town and i did a bit of the tourist guide talk thing.
Unfortunately I had to wake up super early as usual for work so we had to say goodbye after that. She was wearing a Juliette et Justine skirt i'd love to own myself (and the matching socks that I actually do own) and looked super feminine and cute. I wore pants and looked boring in comparison so I decided if we could meet again that i should try to go a bit more girly.

A couple of days went by and i was too busy so i didn't even try to meet up but finally yesterday night, and since my husband and daughter would arrive home quite late, i finally met with her again. I was lucky because she left in a flight this morning!
During the time we did not see each other the sun came back but, curiously, when we met it started raining again. I thought it was kinda amusing despite also being inconvenient. The weather sucked when we were together!
I wore casual classic and she was in the same style so we matched! I went to the place where she was staying which was about 10min walk distance from my place and we just looked for a place to sit and chat. We found a bar and just went it. We had sangria and talked for a long time, it was a lot of fun.
Unfortunately we did not manage to take any photos together other than a cellphone selfie that I posted on my facebook but when i got home I asked my husband to take a few shots of what I was wearing.

Beret: offbrand + bow from dress
Shirt: offbrand (Axes Femme)
Jsk/Cardigan: Innocent World
Socks: offbrand (calzedonia)
Boots: offbrand (c&a)
Corsage: SFE gift

 I wish Josine could come visit us more often, I have missed having someone who shares my love for lolita to talk to in person. It does remind me of how lonely it is to live here in that department. I wish I could go to another event this year but I do not think I can.

On another note I have gotten a few cases for my Iphone and I want more, i'm addicted to my phone for some reason. <3

Oh and my husband got me something yesterday too, i thought it was adorable. He said "I am sorry love but I had no time to get you a souvenir so I bought something on the plane instead. I hope you still like it!"He got me makeup! I loved it, and I actually do not own any eyebrow makeup kit so that's something new for me. 

Anyway that is all for now, I'm sure it sounds boring to some of you but it was a really happy event for me.

Love always,

Jo
