We've all fallen in a river from time to time!

I'm a librarian, lolita fashion aficionado, and rampant Doctor Strange/Dragon Age fangirl. I live on Instagram: amongthestacks

Thw beau and I mssed Oktoberfest last weekend because we were adopting a corgi, so decided to check out the Belgian festival at the Red Monk instead. 20.00 for 5 Belgian beer samples in a free glass, and they gave us a Halloween Delerium keychain and some free glasses too. Not too shabby!!!! #belgianbeer #redmonk #belgians #saintbernards #boonkriek #pinkelephant (at The Red Monk) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3iNp6nnN06/?igshid=1ia26e3uv3b9b

I went to see Howl's Moving Castle at Flix with friends from my anime club, & decided to wear this dress because it's always given me major Sophie vibes. Passing the mall's play area, some kids called me Mary Poppins, to which I responded the only way a reasonable person could, which was to pause and then call back loudly--"I'M MARY POPPINS, Y'ALL!!!!!"☂️🚀🙃 What's the weirdest thing someone's said to you while wearing lolita? #lolitafashion #dailylolita #classiclolita #innocentworld #jfashion #eglcommunity #howlsmovingcastle #anime #lolitastyle #chelseacrew #lolitacoord #ロリータ #metamorphosetempsdefill #immarypoppinsyall #taobaololita #flixbrewhouse #animeclub #lolitastyle (at Flix Brewhouse Des Moines) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvkwbMWHn78/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j0qfbg05pb53

Outfit to go to see Post Modern Jukebox with my daughter. (It was SO GOOD, & they did a 1970's ballad inspired cover of The Cure's Just Like Heaven, which made my jaded goth heart happy.) I wanted something middle of the road--not too crazy & distracting but still cute & kind of historical. I ended up gravitating towards my trusty modified Dwarf Story JSK. The fake leather on the edges of my #innocentworld book purse is starting to peel away; I don't know what I'll do when I can't use it anymore--it's one of my favorite, most used pieces. 😨 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #classiclolita #dailylolita #yosukeusa #makcardigan #egl #jfashion #eglcommunity #gothiclolita #lolitafashion #lolitastyle #eglfashion #coordinate #outfitober (at Sherman Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1dhtqhqlt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n0wg8e2a35l1

Yesterday was rainy & dreary again, which are my favorite kind of days! Went to Oktoberfest at the local amusement park. Prost! Blouse + OTKs are #innocentworld, beer skirt is from #lolitacollective, flower crown is #voodooodolly, and rosette is #mossbadger (Budweiser pin was a lucky thrift store find!) . . . . . . . . . #classiclolita #dailylolita #lolitacoord #eglcommunity #eglfashion #lolitastyle #oktoberfest #adventureland #outfitober #beerlita #indielolita #dswshoes #ロリータファッション #flowercrown #jfashion (at Adventureland Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoovWfmhx18/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mgb3jqpi2ako

You call it "old school lolita". We just called it lolita. This outfit is actually a repeat of something I wore my first day of classes for college 12 years ago, and the fact that all the pieces still fit is a victory in of itself. #paradiso2018 #oldschoollolita #lolitafashion #eglcommunity #egl #babythestarsshinebright #btssb #angelicpretty #gothiclolita #restingbitchface (at Paradiso a Lolita Fashion Event)

Got my Sweet Mildred Luckypack in the mail, better turn my dog into a Tumblr fashion cliché.

Running some errands for the holidays before heading to my weekly tabletop game, and ended up at Kmart buying snacks in lolita accouterments. Is there a "People of K-mart" website, or am I safe? Rosette from Mossbadger's Black Friday sale. Dress is actually a great vintage find I picked up at Dorothea's Vintage Hat is #metamorphose, Book purse is #innocentworld. #lolitafashion #classiclolita #longhair #glasses #redlipstick #eglcommunity #iowalolitas

My baby is home!!! So glad I didn’t have to enable a scalper to get an official #nukacola . The Radioactive Fallout sign is from when we toured the #titanmissilemuseum (check it out if you love Cold War brinkmanship at its finest, what an amazing place) and the #Robco glass is from an actual company called Robco that we happened upon at a thrift store. Everything else is 100% Fallout nerd swag. #collection #fallout #fallout4 #nukacolaquantum #pipboy #fallout3 #falloutnewvegas #vaultboy #falloutlootcrate #swag
