Festival, Our Summer Tradition

The other day was the fourth year my friends and I went to the local Old Homes Day. I love going to this event because I get to see a lot of my old friends from high school, since they all live locally in the summer time. It is the one chance I see some of them due to differing schedules.

I also enjoy it because I love dressing up for different events. The original plan for the day had been to meet up with the other Maine Lolitas for a meet up at the Clam Festival, but that went down the drain. My intent, though, was to wear Lolita to Old Homes Day in honour of all my Lolita friends, but I forgot my petticoat and  it was so ungodly hot. Thinking back on it, it would have been awful wearing tights, shorts, a petticoat, two sports bras, and an OP. Ugh. Not worth it.

Instead I went with an edgy, cute look.

I really loved this outfit. We have a flowy peter pan collared tank (Forever XXI), jean shorts (Torrid), patterned stockings (eBay), and a borrowed pair of patent leather Doc Martens. 

Arguably this outfit was better for the hellish weather we've been experiencing here in Maine in recent days.

Today I went to a special Body Care and the Art of Massage training session for LUSH. It was so wonderful, especially since I got to learn more about the new Spas coming to North America this year. I really need to take a trip down to NYC soon, even more so now. We'll see how that works out. 

See you soon,
