I only just realized my last mobile post failed (please recommend reliable Android mobile app for blogger?) so I'll skip right ahead to the Lolita meetup on Saturday, October 18!

| Not a real dog :( |
The theme this time was more complex: flower + grass/leaves + music notes (not instruments!)
 |
| Bulbasaur covered the grass theme portion (hey, it is grass-type OK!!!) |
We met at an absolutely adorably quaint little shop called Victoria Garden and all the details and decor in the cafe were SO cute and elegant!! The lowest price requirement is a bit much; each person must order a set. Not a problem if your original intention was to eat a full meal, but I wasn't very hungry. Luckily, they had a nice salad option that wasn't too heavy.

It was quite a small meetup, but everybody already knew everybody so we ended up having lots of really funny conversations and time flew by so quickly!! We even forgot to take a group photo, shoes photo, and finger photos.
While meeting new people through common interests is fun, groups of familiar faces seem to bring a more lively atmosphere. Plus, the owner and waitstaff were all very sweet and let us sort of drag out our exit even though they were closing ^^;
Currently I'm quite overwhelmed with schoolwork and may make a Fashion University post :) It was lovely to take some time off and just be goofy and frilly with friends! And thinking of more themed-Lolita challenges. The next one is "snow fairy/elf" though I may be in India if the date is too late. Haven't got any idea how to work that theme given that I'd binned my only snowflake Lolita skirt!
<b>What is your favorite Lolita theme?</b> I personally adore Lolitas who are able to work completely non-lolita things into a proper coordinate and keeping the "fashion" aspect rather than "look at my theme." I proposed a Pokemon-theme and a fruit theme (no repeated fruit, or everybody will show up with only strawberry and cherry!) as well as a predator animals (bears, tigers, eagles, etc.) theme. I don't even know if I'd be able to make it...
