Hello world!

Hello and stuff!

Being as socially inept online as I am in the real world, I'm shying away from making a post about "Hey, this is me!" I never know what to say, and I usually end up rambling on about something completelty irrelevent.

I named the blog after a snake I'm in the middle of crochetting, and it's a slow process. I use it as a form of therapy.

Anyhow, one of the main reasons I'm starting a blog is for the Lolita blog carnival. I've been following blogs of my fellow Lolitas thinking "Hey, I could take part in this too!"

so here I am ^__^

Hello!

Okey-donkey, out of the first 52 topics, my first one will be...:

Something that's not my style, but I love anyways

Hooray! I've started!

Rightey-ho, I adore these pieces. Like, really love them. I can't afford brand as of yet, and more to the point, I don't see it as a "must-have" in my tiny closet. I  admit, I rage-quit Lolita a while back, and most of my pieces were offbrand-converted, so I didn't lose much.

Where the title says "something that's not my style", I've taken it to mean things I live but would look absoloutely terrible on me.

Cutsew-style OPs

To me, Cutsew-style OPs are reallly cute, but they'd never suit me. For a start, especially Angelic Pretty ones, they would just be long enough to be called indecent on me (I'm 5'11" in bare feet). Personally, I prefer dresses that actually, y'know, cover my butt. I think they'd look adorable with a pair of jeans or leggings (if you wear that sort of thing) for a more I'm-having-a-day-off kind of look.

They're totally not my style, but I can't help loving them anyway! Especially the ones with the lil' hoods.

Empire-waisted dresses

At least, I think the term is 'empire-waisted'. They totally destroy my figure, making me look pregnant. I know on some girls they look really sweet, but I'm not entirely sure what figure type they're meant to flatter.I'd probably look like some kind of ice-cream cone.

Although it would look terrible on me, I have to say, I am totally in love with this print. This and BABY's Dreamy Constellation prints in navy. It's just so... cute. I can't find the words for it's cuteness. 

Right, moving on from the way I turn into a pile of mush over every star-themed print..

Nursary-wall prints

 

It's probably starting to look like I have something against Angelic Pretty. I actually don't, unless hating how short all their items are counts. Truthfully, I love Angelic Pretty and they have perfect examples of dresses I love but would look terrible on me. ♥

Nursary-wall prints, especially in pink. I think they're adorable, the cutesy animals, candies, little flowers, stars (yay!), hearts, glittery patches, anything that would suit my baby sister's walls. I also think they make the wearer look as though they've escaped from the local playschool. I think there's a boder, fine as it may be, between OTT sweet and just plain creepy. Creepy as in "you look like a giant toddler" (I've had a comment similar to this from Bodyline's Twinkle Carousel print, so only goodness knows what they'd make of this.)

That just about concludes this post. 

Writing blog posts is more fun than I remembered it to be, and oddly theraputic as in being able to talk about what I think without having to stop short of my conclusion, lest the other person gets bored. It doesn't actually matter if no-one reads this. It's about re-finding the joy in writing for myself. About anything that crops up in my mind.

Because even I get irritated with listening to myself ramble out loud after a while.
