something alien happening

Having just moved to the city a few months earlier (New York City), i was nervous about actually becoming a "part" of any local lolita community. Up in New England... way up in new england, where i'm from there aren't many people who've ever heard of lolita, let alone anyone who actually owns any clothes. So needless to say i was pretty much scared shitless of finally meeting some of my own kind.

but my first meet was a great success! everyone in the local comm was so friendly and open to me, despite the bad lolita steryotypes. (It's true not every lolita is a frilly witch!).

for my first coordinate i wore:

dress: metamorphose
blouse: metamorphose
all else: offbrand

p.s. sorry for the craptastic photo quality, this was taken on an iphone... but hey! there's a giant poster with my name behind me, so that's always cool.
