Granny Floral Strikes Back

This is the tumblr of Savvy, a classic lolita with a hint of sweet flair. Just my place for inspiration, pictures of myself and other lolita things.

I wore this for the opening day of the Philadelphia Flower Show this past week. I bought this fabric from Ikea years ago with the idea of making a dress perfect to wear to the flower show and I’m glad to finally be able to! .

Tried out a look wearing Enchanted Fawn with the help of my good friend Jeff.

DISCLAIMER: the skull pictured was found on an already deceased deer who presumably died of natural causes. The skull pictured also gave his written consent to appear in these photos kthx.

This past Saturday I wore Chess Chocolate (still my dream dress!) for our book club -- we read Frankenstein this time around and it was a really great time overall. I never walk away from book club feeling anything less than awesome!

Also yes I know I wear that wig too much.

This last lolita book club was the best ever!! What's more, it marks one whole year of book club, and I couldn't be more proud of my incredible comm. Every few months we get to have so much fun dressing to a theme and talking, laughing, sharing stories and just bonding over some incredible literature. We've read some real classics, but this time it was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. We had just the best time ever!! I love my comm. And if you haven't had a book club meetup in your comm yet, I can't recommend anything more! Share the love of books with your fellow frilly nerds!

I had the best little time out to dinner and the arcade with my friends!! I decided to wear classic fairy tales because it's adorable and I love it. Give me any print with deer on it.

I got this JSK in brown at the A-Kon swap meet (new for 10 bucks oh yeah) and I'm slowly starting to realize that I'm going to have to put together a separate sweet and classic wardrobe. As I picture it in my head and compile sort of a wish list I realize there's an interesting overlap; and regardless of my style I still lean toward chocolate and ivory, with little hints of red, wine, dusty pink, and now surprisingly? Mint. Not to mention how my style ranges from 100% granny-kei to weirdly schoolmistress formal to like... Whatever the hell my last chess chocolate coord ended up being? Also my friend ended up wearing Wonder Party and now I'm dying to have it on my body.

Hashtag aesthetic something something. Just some pics from my lolita date at the coffee shop yesterday.

I also debuted Misty Night Royal Game this weekend! Thank heavens those socks arrived on time 😂 The fashion show was amazing and everyone was super nice!

I debuted Classic Fairy Tales by Angelic Pretty this past week at A-Kon! It's such a gorgeous dress -- I just about cried when I first got it in the mail -- and even though a lot of key accessories I ordered for this coord didn't arrive in time (Rest in Post Office kawaii hat) I still felt absolutely incredible all weekend. Ladies, gents, everyone: let me take a moment to be cheesy. I'm a veterinary nurse and I do a lot of work rescuing animals, so 95% of my life I feel sweaty, exhausted and the furthest thing from beautiful that ever existed. I'm the person that shuffles around the grocery store hoping nobody notices me. I never wear makeup and my day-to-day clothes are either dirty scrubs or pajamas. But when I put on my dresses, so carefully selected and intricately made, I feel like a million bucks. It isn't just a matter of feeling pretty under all the makeup and wig and stuff, it's that the clothes themselves are a statement. A challenge, almost. Rather than a plain Target t-shirt and some jeans I'm wearing something out there and weird, why? Because I love it. I love the way my petticoat bounces when I walk and I love the beautiful designs on my dress and I love the proud click my heels make when I walk, and if the whole world thought it was hideous it wouldn't matter, because I don't. For once I can walk around and feel joy when someone looks at me, whether it's with a grimace or a smile. I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. That's why I feel beautiful in lolita.
