Tips for surviving the summer in Lolita.

http://aliceinlolitaland.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/tips-for-surviving-the-summer-in-lolita/This weeks Lolita blog carnival really means a lot to seeing as I live in Florida and I have been working on a more Lolita friendly summer wardrobe.My tips for surviving summer in Lolita will be very simple.

1. Fans I think are a must have thing if you are going out in the summer. Fans are perfect to help keep you from melting  and are just pretty.

The pink fan in the front is the one I keep in my purse and the one in the back was bought in China on my first trip to Epcot back in 1982.

2. I like to wear cute flipflops or sandals in the summer because your body loses most of heat in your head and feet. I love wearing cute shoes and my cute socks,but they are not worth fainting over in the summer heat.

This photo is some of my cute more summer friendly shoes.

3.I love to keep my hair pulled back in a bun in the summer to keep my neck a little more cool.

This photo is of a few of the cute things I like to wear when I keep my hair pulled back in a bun.

4.A umbrella is always a good thing for a Lolita to have in summer it is good for the rain and to keep the sun off.


This photo is of my classic Pooh umbrella.

5.You can never drink to much water in the boiling hot summer.

This photo is of my cute reuseable drink cup I bought last valentines day. I carry this cup almost every where I go in the summer.

6.I like to skip wearing blouses with my JSK in the summer and I like to some time wear petty tank tops with lace tops or light cardigans like the one in the photo below .

7. I carry a handkerchief in my purse year round but they are especially usefull in the summer they can be used to wipe off sweat and  they can also be dampened and used to help reduce your heat.

The photo above is of some of my vintage handkerchiefs from the 30's,40's and 50's . Most of the handkerchiefs in this photo  are from my grandmother.

8. Sometimes it is just way to hot to wear real Lolita. When it is to hot for real Lolita and I have to go out I try to at least pick something cute to wear. I like to wear sundresses when it to hot for Lolita.

The sundress that mt mother made me that is folded up to fit in this photo gets a lot of wear by me on very hot days.
9. Footless tights are perfect for summer Lolita wear in my mind. I know some girls go petticoat less in the summer,but in my mind if to hot for a petticoat it is too hot for Lolita.I think footless tights are perfect because they keep you from showing anything and they let you go with out socks and teaparty shoes that would make you hotter.
10.The last things that make summer easier for a Lolita would be  common sense stuff that would be good Lolita or not. I think everyone needs good sunglasses and sunscreen no matter what.
The last thing I would like to say if it is way to hot to be outside then stay inside until it cools off if you can nothing is worth dying of heat stroke over.
 Here is a list of the other girls who are in this weeks Lolita blog carnival.

more photos

I decided to add A few more photos from Disney I had not added before. The first photo and the second photo are of me at the Magic Kingdoms 40th. My outfit was not Lolita, but it was dress like it's October 1st 1971 day(opening day).  The Disney shirt I'm  was made by my mother using a pattern from 1971 and the characters are from a disc. The first photo is of my and orange bird by the sunshine tree. the second is of my sleeping on the wedway. It was about noon in the second photo and I had been at the park since four that morning .Believe it or not we were not the first ones to get in line to get in that morning.

 Photos three,four and five are of me at the Swan for the royal wedding. I wanted to go to the Grand Floridians dress like a prince or princess event they held  at the weeding gazebo complete with the characters dressed up for the event,but sadly that was booked full. I ended up at the Swan because well it was not full. The event was not as nice or as dressed up formal as the one I wanted to go to,but it was still nice. You can't see in my photos because it still very early,but lots of older ladies came wearing suits and lovely sundresses with huge royal wedding worthy hats. The first photo is of me waiting  for the wedding to start and breakfast to be brought out. The second photo is of me getting breakfast.   Photo three is of me behind the sugar royal jewels the hotel made for the event.     

I will some day when I can find them add the photos of the hotels royal wedding cake and my drinking tea. I guess you can all figure out the the breakfast was British.The event was not the best Disney event I have ever been to, but it was free and they did ask that people come dressed up. I love any event Disney has that almost says flat out please come dressed in Lolita. I would have gone more over the top and put something even fancier but, it was the middle of the night here and I was very sleepy. In case  anyone is wondering Disney does wonderful stuff like this all of the time sadly I just don't have enough time to get dressed up and to go to all of them. I do force myself to make the time to go to the Magic kingdom and EPCOT's  birthdays every five years. ^ .^

In and out of Lolita

 This weeks Lolita Blog Carnival is in and out of Lolita. When I first read what this weeks topic I was blank as to what to write and I could only think of silly things.I was just simply going write something like in Lolita I am dressed out of Lolita I am sleeping or taking a bath.I will say that yes I do run into times where cute won't work,but that is not often.  I know I can't wear it to say like jury duty,but just listing places  I can't wear along with a list of all of the other things I do in my life won't make for fun reading. I  thought to make this fun I would make this a game of opposites. I decided to pick Lolita or Lolita friendly stuff I own and show it next to something that is not Lolita I own. I will say that I think ownership of the stuff that is not Lolita does not make me any more or less of a Lolita.
 The first photo  here is of some Lolita and non Lolita friendly keychains. On the left is a small Shellie May keychain  along with a Alice makeup mirror keychain that looks like a cookie. On the right is a Michael Jackson keychain along with a Startrek Klingon keychain.  

 

Photo two is of a Lolita shirt with my Avengers shirt.

Photo three is of a pair of my Converse next two a pair of dress shoes.

Photo four is of my MJ Thriller totebag  next to a lovely handbag.

Photo five is  of some old non Lolita jewelry next to some Lolita jewelry.

 Photo six  is a Dragon ball Z action figure next to one of my  Maud Humphrey Bogart figurines.

Photo seven is of  the Bruce Lee movie Game of Death next to A copy of Disney's Cinderella.

Photo eight is of of a Gothic and Lolita Bible next to A mangazine.

Photo nine is of my Speed Racer coffee mug next to my Maud Humphrey Bogart teacup.

Photo ten is of a pair of  chopsticks with Japanese characters on them next to a very cute pair of Hello Kitty chopsticks.

Photo eleven is of a Pirates of the Caribbean book next to a beautiful Disney book about never fairies.

I guess I could keep this game of  opposites up all day but I won't I will just give up and give you the list of links to other girls in this weeks Carnival.

new hair bow

I made this new hair bow last night after I got home from dinner. I made the bow out of some left over ribbon and some beads. The bow is to be worn on the back of head  on my bun. I keep my hair in a bun most of the time when I out so I try to make or buy hair things that would look cute on my bun like this.

summer Lolita day

Summer Lolita day was Sunday. Summer Lolita day is the day All Lolita get dressed up in the best summer outfit they own. I personally  find the day a little silly. I guess the day is nice if you never get to wear Lolita for some reason and need  a chance to get out. This year I forgot the day because I was busy ,but I am sure I wore something cute seeing as I work very hard to  always wear something cute. I guess about as as close as I am came to celebrating this year was I did go out to dinner last night . Here is the photo of what I wore.

I'm sorry I'm not wearing the out ,but I don't take selfies. I think photos with a phone in them are silly. Sadly the outfit is mostly black and hard to see. Here is a list of what I wore anyway. 1. black Bodyline BTSB  knockoff skirt. 2. Black lace shirt. 3. new black and purple floral print tights. 4. pearl necklace with black  heart on it. 5.black flower flipflops.6. Big black hairbow. for those who are wondering I did wear a full petticoat I just did not bother to add it into the photo. It was kind of funny eating dinner last night because most of the time people love what I wear ,but last night for some reason the table next to me full of middle aged half dressed ladies spent all of dinner trying to figure out why I was dressed like a fool. Other then that the evening was nice. Honestly I have very few people say anything bad about my clothes. I got  yelled at once in a Kmart for being over dressed for Kmart. I just told the lady she was right I was overdressed,but I was only in Kmart because my grandmother needed something.No one goes to Kmart anymore for anything unless they have to. Kmart is the worst store around anymore. The other time someone had something bad to say was at a Korean supermarket. The manger of the store said something along the lines of that's just what we don't need around here a Lolita . I thought what the man said was funny. The same day that happened a kid in another store slammed his shopping cart into a display  because he was so stunned to see me dressed the way I was.  I know some girls get yelled at a lot and have parents who hate what they wear. I guess I am very lucky I don't have that problem. Most people like my clothes and my family loves what I wear. My family even loves to try and and find me new things for my wardrobe. I feel very sorry for those girls who have it bad as a Lolita.

Very sleepy after a long few days at Fortwilderness.

I am so very sleepy that should not be blogging now,but if I don't I won't. First let me start off by saying if my Lolita blog carnival is a mess this is why. I have spent a very long very very fun few days camping out at Disney's Fortwilderness .  I would write some long post about ,but I am too sleepy. I will let my Duffy and Orange birds photos  do the talking so to speak. The last photo is of my new Fort Wilderness pin for my collection.

My most recent wardrobe addition

This weeks Lolita blog carnival works really well for me since I am still working on my new  Lolita summer friendly wardrobe. I don't have lots to add right now sadly because I posted most of my new clothes the other day and because my stuff from Macy's has not come yet.  I do have a few new things  I have not posted yet and that is what I will add here.

The first photo is of some very cute pink and white striped shorts. I know they are not Lolita but, they have a very cute vintage look and I think will look very cute with a Lolita shirt. The shorts are for my camping trip to Maine this month. I can't very well wear full Lolita camping . I needed some cute wearable Lolita like stuff  and I think this will work along with my other shorts I am waiting for from Macy's. The second photo is of a very cute floral prints dress . the third photo is what I plan on wearing with my floral print dress. I know it won't be a perfect Lolita look ,but I do think it will be perfect for my new summer Lolita like look Photo three is of my cute new Hello Kitty skirt . I know it not really Lolita ,but it does look very cute with hime and fairy kei stuff.  Photo  five is of my new watermelon look bathing suit.  I know swimming is not Lolita at all ,but I am from Florida and am not going to give up swimming for Lolita. I try very hard to pick Lolita friendly bathing suits when I buy them hopefully this works.
