History of a lolita
Due to a post on egl I made a lolita timeline. You can see it here.
I used to (and I guess still do) wear whatever I felt like and rarely wore full lolita. 2001-2002 I had my blueXblack faze, because of Mana. It was almost the only colors I wore, although I didn't wear lolita back then. I also liked schoolgirly styles with miniskirts, shirts and jackets.
In 2002-2003 I started out with loli after lurking for a while, and like so many others I wore almost exclusively blackXwhite at the beginning. Then I suddenly went ALL light blue. Everything I wore; skirts, pants, tops.
2005 my pink faze started, although I just noticed that I missed to include a picture of me from summer 2005. Anyway, it was all pink in 2006 as well. I have also never, not before or after, been as thin as I was then. I'm not sure what made me thin though, because I wasn't dieting or working out, at all.
In fall 2006 I started working at shell and in 2007 I pretty much stopped sewing and started buying all brand. I also got so tired of pink that I still dislike wearing it. In 2008 I finally dyed my hair red. I secretly wanted to have red hair ever since 2001 when I fell in love with IZAM of SHAZNA, and later because of Maki and Nana Kitade.
I finally started seriously buying Emily temple cute and Jane Marple, which I've wanted to for ages but never got around to. The fluff got in the way.
Fun fact: I used to think that there was no way I could fit into lolitabrands, because I always saw myself as fat (what you get told as a kid can stick in your head forever). Back in the days when few people bought clothes from Japan everybody said that brand was so TINY, not american/european sized at all. And thus, since I was "fat", I thought it was a lost case. I didn't even bother comparing my measurements.
I didn't realise that I was wrong until 05-06 sometime when a friend of mine bought an un-shirred dress with a 86cm bust from Baby. I tried it on, and it fit! I was amazed.
