A Backyard Lolita

This is my first post on this blog! So exciting!

As soon as I saw this dress whilst scrolling through ebay, I fell in love. I really wanted a black dress for a while, but I was hesitant due to the similarities some have to some typical "maid" outfits. This one was just perfect though, black with polka dots (I love polka dots!!) and for an affordable price too. I adore the tiered ruffles at the sides too. I bought a headdress for it, but as I'm writing this I'm contemplating buying a headbow to match instead. If anyone has any opinion on which would look better with the dress let me know!

When all of the pieces of the outfit finally arrived I was thrilled, and I put on the whole coord immediately. My mum helped me to take some photos haha. They turned out okay, especially with a fun colour filter on them. I wore two petticoats, yet I'm unsure of how satisfied I am with the amount of poofiness. I'll try my hoop skirt underneath it next time. Also maybe take the photos somewhere other than the backyard LOL. I'm not sure how confident I am with wearing Lolita in my own town though. It might be a bit small and too "country" for something as extra as Lolita fashion. Sigh. I should have put on makeup too. I'll wear it for my next photos so I look a bit more put together X)
