Berets with bows are fucking adorable and I love them and aaaaaaaaaa. Like look at this, I love it.

Also you can be a weirdo like me and tie bows that you then attach to other things to wear. It can be fun!

I highly recommend the game night idea. Gaming with friends is usually a fun thing and it can help put a lot of the stress away while you do it. I also recommend going to gaming stores or stores for some other hobby that you like (provided they don't have bigoted staff). These sorts of stores are usually a comfort place if you go often so they can really help you ease in the first few times. That's how I first wore a skirt in public.

That's okay! Just one piece at a time and eventually you can add a splash of this style into all of your outfits. Right now I kind of rely on my beret for my bows, since it can work with most of my outfits, and that adds a little bit of me into the outfit while still not being the focus. Just try to have fun with it, you'll find things that work and you like pretty quick.

Oh not Monster Hunter the series I just meant like vampire/monster hunter aesthetics like Bloodborne's MC.

Lingxi, the same brand that made this dress, is really good at getting that style right. Like check this one, Blood Hunt. I'm not that into the angel wings that their model is rocking since I think this dress deserves a more grounded coord, but tbh it's still sick. Luv me a good angel wing.

Honestly it just came with time. It's hard to worry as much about it when you wear a princessy dress to a party and the only comments you get are positive, or when you wear cute bows basically every day in non-lolita outfits and get the same reaction. In the case of this sort of gothic, wearing a corset over all black would be an equivalent, or wearing a fancy skirt with an otherwise simple outfit. Etc... Etc...

Burgundy and maroon are just, the best colours honestly.

It would depend on your exact measurements I'm pretty sure. I can't really be sure of the exacts though since I haven't worn anything with this style of top yet, but I know the bottom half would just work since all the shaping there comes from the overskirt and petticoat. So it's really all just about how the shoulder, chest, and waist are shaped. I'm inclined to assume that if you added a lace bodysuit to distract you might be able to pull it off without much breasts.

There are lots of gothics out there that don't show off as much skin and should be doable for basically any body type though, there's this one I've been considering making a post on which is this really cute gothic winter jacket but I've been putting it off since the model photos are less visually interesting on it. There's another one that I really love and would be easy to pull off but I'm avoiding posting it because I genuinely want one for myself and it's pretty low leftover stock rn. I'll try to cover a few more gothics when I see some I like.

Ngl I basically wear lolita to every formal event and the only reason I haven't worn it at school yet is because I don't have any JSKs or skirts yet. As soon as I get some I am having a lolita day at least once a week. I have killed the part of my brain that goes 'but what if someone judges me' in favour of fancy dresses. Albeit more casual ones than a lot of the ones I post.

Also just wearing a lolita at home is nice I do it all the time when I'm having a rough week to feel better

And you're welcome 💝

God if you want to talk about Bloodbornecore I know a few dresses that really lean into that gothic monster hunter schtick

Done the move, time to collapse on my bed

Packing is always such a stressful thing for me now. Thankfully this should be the last time for a while at least. But I still feel way too stressed.

You're right, I'm sorry, that was a shitty fucking thing to say, and the reply made it a lot worse.

Look being as frank as I can be you have a ton to learn in regards to being empathetic with people and helpful but outside of those contexts you're a decent listener and the few times you do talk about your interests it's nice. But really being a good listener is the most important thing for conversation, the rest can come later. And sometimes just listening is enough to help people empathically, there's a reason I just had a quick little vent in your DMs those few times

It's not as bad as you'd expect, you bundle it a bit while pulling it up

I'm sorry 😔 I love talking to you too, and you're great fun to talk to. And you're not terrible at conversation you're just not better than Egg

::: spoiler spoiler Pfffffffft I'm sorry what. Look I love Ash, I love talking to Ash, and I mean this in the best way possible, no she fucking isn't lmao. Eggy you're fine at conversation. :::

Depends on the style of skirt I'm wearing but usually I lift the skirt up as I sit down and then continue holding it up while on the toilet. It avoids the skirt getting dirty from the ground or any potential accidents involving it falling into the toilet water, and besides it's the only way you can do it while in a dress. If the skirt is short enough (IE knee length or shorter) then I do just pull down like pants though.

If we're not being numbered clearly we should use the magical girl method of all having different names relating to our preferred styles. So I get to be Fashion Weirdo Elegant Sweet or some shit like that.

A good point, very well I'll allow it to be both.

The transmega will rise further through the power of our outfitposting

No that's loony toons coded

Tbh I may have forgotten :basil-anxious-smile:

That's great! I've been meaning to do the same but keep putting it off, maybe I should ask my friend tomorrow if they'd be willing to come with me to get them done soon.

And I'm so glad you're seeing the possibility of a nicer future now :cat-trans:

:aubrey-happy: I guess if fashion weirdo #1 says it then it must be true!

I'm #4 because idk it was funnier that way. Also I feel like I only recently became fashion nerdy so others who post less have seniority over me and thereby smaller numbers.

What I sometimes do is wearing women's shorts underneath a skirt with an open side, that way I can use the pockets of it for my multitool and keys... But then I get annoyed at it ruining my fit when they're in so I throw them into my bag anyways.

I just haven't found one I like enough yet tbh.

Need to pick out my outfit for my friend date tomorrow. Do I go for my black n white plaid shirt with a white embroidered skirt underneath, short white thigh highs, and white n purple heart choker, or my school girly outfit consisting of a red button up tank on top of a semi-transparent white blouse, with a pleated black skirt high waisted on top, short black thigh highs, my black beret with a red bow, and a blue gemmed silver necklace?

All of you celebrating the day I first wore femme clothes... Without even knowing... :kel-bliss:

:waow-based:

Would probably work well. You got approval from transmega fashion weirdo #4

Yeahhh... Purses exist for a reason, I still need to get one myself instead of carrying an old bag everywhere I go

Wtf you've never worn a skirt before???

Also what the fuck is that description it is breaking my brain trying to figure out what it looks like.

Ankle length skirts are lovely though, nice that you enjoy them. Underrated tbh.

Socks good :cat-trans:

It's true I do 😔 It certainly doesn't help that they're always so cute...

After about a week texting a foxgirl and my prior experiences with my ex, I have now reached the conclusion that lesbians are intimidated when talking to me. I, however, cannot tell if this is just the usual lesbian disaster stuff or if it's something about me specifically that flares it up worse than usual.

Nice!!

Even with skirts like, it doesn't matter that much. It's something nice that can help with passing but isn't necessary for the outfit. I just also really fucking like how high waisted stuff looks
