Hi mammoths!
Last weekend I attended a convention in Brno called Animefest. My last con was in July and it seeméd like eternity, so I was really pumped up about it.
I decided to do something I have always wanted to do - a pirate lolita outfit. I was gathering pieces of clothing for the outfit since February and I really couldn't wait. But it wouldn't be me if nothing went wrong.
The tricorn hat is amazing, but unfortunately, it only has two bobby pins to attach it to my head. I wanted to replace them with some stronger clips, but the shop where I usually buy components was closed. So the hat was falling down all the time and looked stupid most of the time it was on. My petticoats died on the 5 hours long way. And when we finally arrived at the con, I couldn't find anyone who would take some nice outfit pictures of me. So I'll have to go with these:
My only nice picture in this outfit. Thanks to my friend Beezet.
Derplita.
And a bonus - me waiting in that long as hell line. Totally not amused.
Thanks goes to my dear
Beezet for taking the pictures.
And yes, those are the only three acceptable pictures of this outfit. I promise I'll wear it again one day and I'll take lots of awesome pirate-y pictures.
I didn't feel really comfortable in lolita that day. Maybe it was my shyness and unwillingness to talk with other lolitas /or unwillingness of other lolitas to talk with me/ and maybe it was just a shitty day. But I was bored and annoyed, even though I was wearing one of my dream outfits.
This was also the only day at the con I was wearing lolita. I cosplayed as a character from Homestuck the other day, and the last day I didn't even wear anything special and it felt great. If anyone's curious about my cosplay, I might share something on my facebook page later ;)
Overall, I had a great time at the convention. But next time I might be only cosplaying. It's so much fun!
THANKS FOR VIEWING
Stella xoxo
