Long time no see! Someone asked me about my blog the other day and it really got me thinking. I don’t know if blogging really has that much of a place in lolita anymore, but I also feel like I have things to say again. Lolita has had such a weird, profound, and lasting impact on my life for whatever reason, and every time I stray away a little bit, I always come back to it.
I’m not a lifestyle lolita anymore. I’m not really even a sometimes lolita, I’m more of an events and fancy occasions and sometimes-when-I-feel-guilty-about-my-closet-full-of-ruffles lolita. But I still pull my dressses out when I’m feeling really blue, or if the situation calls for it. I still run panels at local cons. I still make, and thrift, and buy second-hand. I still wear more casually and nerdy than some lolitas might think I should.
My community is actually pretty dang active! Thanks to a some very well put-together girls we regularly have some beautiful meetups with things like door prizes and themes! Honestly, I never thought I’d go to a fancy event like that, which seems silly now. But I appreciate those sorts of efforts so much, and seeing how much the community has grown is really touching to me.
I’ve got some stories to tell, and coordinates to share, and I’m sure some rants left up my sleeve. Oh, and I’ll track down some really good WTFs of the Week too, those were always some of my favorites! So uh…welcome back I guess. I’m happy to be here!

Glad to see you blogging again! ^_^
Thank you so much! I’m happy to be back ♥
Oh my goodness yaaaaay! So glad to have you blogging again, I’ve really missed your posts. I love your casual/nerdy looks as well and just overall yaaay this is awesome!
PS I say there is still a place for blogging in the lolita community, and i think it’s on the rise a little again right now.
Thank you so much ;___; that’s so sweet of you to say!
I definitely want there to always be a place for blogs! I think there’s stuff you can do with them that you just can’t convey through social media.
Hooray for blogging!
Blogs really don’t seem so popular any more, but I still run my blog as well XD Happy to see other lolita bloggers still going! Even if people don’t read your posts straight away, it’s nice to be able to go through some Lolita blogs and get more of an idea of somebody’s journey compared to the “snapshots” current social media provides (which I still like, of course)
I totally agree! There’s something a bit more personal about having full posts, it’s really interesting to see blogs all together! I’m excited to get back to it!!
Happy to see you back again!
Lolita blogging is so dead. Social media killed it off, and I think that’s really unfortunate. I like blogs more than social media. Maybe more girls will come back to blogging one day.
Thank you!! I totally agree, it’s really sad to see, but hopefully things will turn around again! I’m just happy to see that other people are still around too!
