Aesthetic(tm) pics of layers because I'm very pleased with this combination.

Just for fun here's which clothes are on the pic:

Green shirt (Jashu) - €1 on Vinted because it was torn at the bottom

Grey flannel (Human Nature) - gift from friend, bleached and added patches to that you can't see on the pic.

Brown corduroy vest (LTD) - from a local clothing swap

Nail necklace - handmade, nail is from a fantasy store

Axe necklace - thrifted pendant and leather cord

Rose pin - ... thrifted? Flea market?

Moth pin - Vinted

It's always fun to me to think about style and fashion, and realise I've figured out ways to stay far away from fast fashion, make my own clothes, alter what doesn’t fit me, etc. I can talk for hours about this but I'll leave it with the note that this outfit (+ pants) cost maybe €5 in total. My leather belt is €8 and that was vintage secondhand too 😉

Craft night? What about ✨second✨ craft night?

Hobbit Sunday!

Threw open all the windows to air out the flat. Did laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and steam mopped the floors while my partner ran errands, cleaned the bathroom, and made an English fry up for dinner. Planning a walk later and will be gaming together in the evening and watching some Fallout while knitting. An ideal Sunday, really.

Frederick’s 30 Days Day 3: Are there fashions / aesthetics / styles outside lolita that influence your lolita style? If so what are they?

Historical fashion definitely influences me the most (as it influences all of lolita style in general, really)- I love Rococo/Victorian/Edwardian style looks, and I’ve been gravitating towards long skirts and classic prints for that reason. Historical costuming is my biggest hobby alongside lolita so it’s not really surprising I don’t think. This style I think also influences the ‘cottagecore’ or ‘hobbitcore’ aesthetic that’s really popular. Most of my daily wear is non-traditional lolita coords that use lolita items alongside vintage pieces.

‘Edwardian child core’ is a good name for this (coined by sainte-melasse, or at least I first heard it from her), lots of pinafores, poofy sleeves, pintucks (Metamorphose Anne of Green Gables, unknown image (likely a storybook), and actual Edwardian era girls) and often black stockings and lace-up boots

Holly Hobbie (vintage art based on this same style), an inspiration for these really cute cottagecore bunnies by the artist Celesse. I love the peeking bloomers (and that they match the bonnet!) and it makes me really want to make a quilted apron like this.

Actual 18th and 19th century art. Clear inspiration IMO for layered skirts, ruffles, pintucks, big sleeves, corset lacing, and the prints we see in classic lolita.

I’m also hugely inspired by Fanny Rosie’s wardrobe and style- I think it’s a gorgeous blend of lolita, vintage, and historically inspired clothes and accessories and her ability to style pieces and mix colors and patterns is really incredible.

A couple favorite autumn/winter looks where I think the historical influences really come through. (I’m wearing something similar today too- knee-length red wool coat with fur trim, Gunne Sax blouse, black/brown/cream wool sweater, calf-length brown skirt with a ruffle and short black lace-up leather boots over brown wool tights)

This autumn/winter I’ve especially been looking at layering skirts and sweaters/cardigans, so I’ve also been looking at mori kei fashion!

A friend said I haven’t been baking enough lately so he brought me a sourdough starter with lore, it’s been going since the 1940s!

i mean this in the nicest possible way but you seem so cozy. just from seeing your posts & reading some of your fics, you seem like a person i’d have a warm cup of tea with and sit in a comfortable silence or like. idk. just wanted to say this hope you have a nice thursday 🫶

Hullo there! 💛 This is honestly such a lovely message to get, thank you so much! Haha, it's so nice to know I give off cosy vibes, I feel like I've been the "grandma friend" for my whole life and I'm genuinely happy with that! I do love being the person that people can come over and visit with to talk or not talk, to have tea and cakes, to borrow books from and take plant cuttings home with them! I'm absolutely leaning right into that hobbitcore lifestyle, haha!

Thank you so much for taking the time to send me this, you made me smile so much!

my brother and i used to be absolute menaces to each other and we still are but he's old enough now that we can also actually be friends. like last night our parents were out and we ate pizza and played xbox together and ate sweets we weren't supposed to have together and fucked around with each other and it was so nice to not fight i mean holy shit it was awesome. he was even enthusiastic about the new skirt i bought (which btw is so hobbitcore and i love it) and said that while it wasn't for him he could see how it suited me, and it was such a nice change from when he used to just call me and my clothes ugly all the time. and i was enthusiastic about his games, which i don't understand much but i am now able to happily watch and ask questions and it clearly makes him happy to explain stuff and he just came into to excitedly tell me about a new fortnite season and a video he wanted to show me about something he was going to learn to do on the game. when he came in, i closed my laptop to talk to him (and, admittedly, so he wouldn't know i was writing this) instead of fighting with him about keeping out of my room and we jumped in circles for no reason but the fact that it made us both laugh. he has been able to come to me with things that he doesn't feel comfortable to tell our parents and it makes me so happy he trusts me like that. and sure, we'll still fight, but at least not every interaction will be angry and if he ever sees this i will actually die, but i love him and like him now, rather than just the former.

tldr: my brother and i are finally friends with a mostly healthy relationship and it makes me happy

SSO photo dump lol I just finished the Trailblazer track and I got the hobbitcore outfit so yippee

Took Mono and Daisy to the gardens for these ones

The hat is cute but with this hairstyle hats take away the lil side braids and I tend to avoid hats for that reason

Those sword earrings fuck hard Sora has yet another sick option for earrings, alongside her usual druid cuffs and firefly earrings ofc

Hobbitcore meals are the best! 🌿

hello my sweetums - you want Nico Robin and Robin wants you back ;) sidenote I also love these things and if you lived near me I would 100% do these things with you for the funsies♥

You are now being connected to your sweetie...

Purururu purur—

Robin: Hello my dear, it's so good to hear your voice. The days are long but not as long as the time I've spent away from you. We'll be reaching land very soon and I would like to take you away for some quality girl time. I just know that you'll love what I have planned for you - we're so alike how can I not know your heart's desires? See you soon, sweetie!

You intended to meet Robin at the dockyard to pick her up, but the weather decided to turn before you could step foot outside your house. Unsure of how to meet up, you were pleasantly surprised when a knock on your front door revealed your girlfriend standing under an umbrella big enough for two. Her presence in itself was a present.

The sky itself seemed to shift in mood as the dreary clouds slowly shifted away to reveal a partially clouded sky and a slight rainbow over the bridge in your neighborhood.

"My my, I shouldn't be surprised that the weather would clear up for my beautiful partner," Robin cooed with a wink that made you weak in the knees.

She reached out to hold your hand, bringing it to her lips where she pressed a soft kiss to the back of your palm.

"Let's change into something more comfortable so you can properly enjoy the date I'm going to take you on."
