Wear something you rarely wear

Today I went over to a friend's place to hang out. I wanted to wear something from my closet that I rarely use. I actually really like this dress, I just haven't used it much, because it fits me almost like an empire-waisted dress, which really isn't flattering for my figure, but then I thought of wearing this belt with it and I think it looks much better.

Outfit rundown:
JSK: Bodyline
Blouse: Zara
Belt: New Look
Bag: Lace Story
Jewelry: Accessorize

Miss Caro-chan just blogged about bangless Lolitas, which was kind of funny, because these past couples of weeks I've  been thinking a lot about bangs. I've been growing my bangs out for the past year and now I'm starting to think about getting them back and I'm really on the fence here. On one hand, I like the more mature look of being bangless and it's easier to manage on a daily basis. But I really like how bangs look with most of the usual hair accessories in Lolita. For now, I've settled with dying the roots of my hair a dark brown to match the ends better. So I'll continue to think about the bangs.

Lastly, just a photo of my new coat worn:
