The next part in the 52 posts challenge! This one is 'my wardrobe turnover', or a time you changed out part (or all) of your wardrobe. I've had a few of these! Not in the sense of "actually selling off chunks" because I love my pieces too much and I think a lot before I buy anything, but in the sense of changing what aesthetic I look for in it. For this post I've gone way back and tried to find the very images that inspired me back then, so you really can get a look into my head! I hope you enjoy! Wardrobe goals #1: Goth When I started out in lolita I was a (horrible) mallgoth and I wasn't looking to get into lolita at all! I happened to stumble upon a post by F Yeah Lolita about adding lolita bits and pieces into a gothic wardrobe and I was super intrigued by the fancy look it gave. I started slowly dreaming of a gothic lolita wardrobe. I was only 15-16 at this point so my taste was....not great lol. That bodyline skirt I especially lusted after......

This year, a big lolita dream of mine finally came true: I attended the Angelic Pretty tea party in Paris!! I've wanted to go ever since I started lolita. A blogger I follow goes every year and for years I've been drooling over her pictures and imagining what I would wear to such an event. Then last year somewhere in fall, our little group of friends decided to go! We booked a hotel and train tickets super duper early, way back around December. Two other friends joined in later, one couldn't get a ticket in time and one friend was too preoccupied to make it. In the end we were with 6 people. We were in Paris from 6 to 9 July. This post will be solely about the tea party and shopping, since, truth be told, I REALLY don't like Paris. It always smells, there's loads of tourists and it's HOT. I know many people adore Paris, but sadly I'm not one of them. What I do adore however, is Angelic Pretty! Enough to go there anyway! (Also, the pictures on this post...
