Anyway, Igudesman and Joo are so much fun and I was surprised when they said they would be doing a signing session after the concert. Suddenly, I was all nervous and flushed. I wasn’t prepared for meeting them – But I did and I even bought an extra copy of their DVD (I already own it) just so I could get them to sign it.
I also took a picture of them, but I won’t post it here. It’s just a silly mobile picture.
I wore one of my favourite skirts to the concert: My high-waisted, velveteen Autumn Whisper skirt from Dear Celine. I didn’t have time to take an outfit shot as I was in a bit of a hurry getting ready, because I had just gotten home from work, so I’ll just post the stock photo:
Even though, I hadn’t gone all out with a crazy hairdo and make up, I was still ridiculously overdressed. In my head, I had expected people to dress up a bit for the symphony, but some people just showed up in their sweats. I guess that proves how naïve I really am, but still, wearing Lolita: you’ll be overdressed in most situations. That’s the thing about Lolita: You may as well get used to it.
Moving on to something different, I have ordered my first brand dress. I sent the order last night and am now waiting for the confirmation. It’s Baby’s Blooming Snow White JSK in pink.
I have debated this purchase back and forth for the past week or two. The thing is: I don’t usually wear Sweet Lolita, but the past couple of months I have been feeling an increasing urge to dress in lavender and pink from head to toe. And this dress is fantabulous! I remember pining for the underbust version when it first came out, however, it is too small for me and furthermore, at the time I wouldn’t even consider spending that much money on one dress.
But then, I looked this dress again a few weeks ago and I got this image in my head of myself wearing it. It was summer and I was running through meadows and walking around a lake near my parents’ summer cottage. I had pink ribbons in my hair and pink teaparties on my feet. I fell in love with it. At first I thought I wanted the ivory colour way, because it has a more Classical feel to it, but no, it is the pink one I need. I have never had a dream dress before, but this must be what it feels like.
Still there was a voice in my head pulling out numbers for me and telling me how frivolous and silly it was to spend that much money on just a single dress, saying ‘How I don’t even wear Sweet Lolita!’.
But I like pink and think Sweet Lolita is really pretty. In a way, I love how it is so rebellious in its own sweet, ruffly, OTT pink way. It’s like a gigantic F*ck you to the world, saying ‘I’ll wear whatever the hell I want!’, even more so than punk (not necessarily Punk Lolita, just punk in general). I love it and I can’t wait to wear the dress.
The thing I love most about this dress is the print, obviously. I am a sucker for anything remotely relating to Snow White. Why do you think my hair is dyed black? ;) Just kidding, well, partly anyway.Yay, I just can’t wait to get the dress, although, I’ll probably get hit with a gigantic customs fee, but hopefully the dress will be worth it.
I’ve actually gone crazy with Sweet Lolita. I'm considering getting Bodyline’s music JSK and I was originally going to buy it in black, but I think it looks absolutely adorable in pink too! But I don’t want to go too overboard with the sweet colours just yet. It’s a shame, I have no idea how the dress looks in grey/green. It’s kind of annoying Bodyline don’t have stock photos of each colour. Lame, actually.
But I think I’m definitely going to get these shoes in pink:
They’re so cute, don’t you think?
All right, all for now.
