When life gives me lemons...

... I make a lemon themed Lolita outfit!
Today, I wanted to share a lemon appreciation entry! I really like lemon, as a fruit but also as a pattern and luckily for me, lemon is quite popular this year in Lolita fashion but also mainstream fashion.
Some months ago, I finally found the perfect lemon-themed skirt: Lemon Juice skirt by Owloli! The skirt was made to measure, which was great so I could order it a bit longer. I love tea length skirts, so that was the perfect occasion to get one! Sweet Lolita (or at least Angelic Pretty) seems to take a new way with longer skirts too recently. Unfortunately I am a total noob and ordered the skirt was too big, but my mom was so nice to remove some of the elastic at the waist so it could fit!
I already had an outfit in mind, I first decided to wear it with yellow and white in a somehow casual/country inspired coordination. Yellow is my favourite colour, so I really enjoyed wearing it! 



Today, I wanted to bake lemon squares and it made me want to wear that skirt again! Even if the print actually doesn't feature these colours, I really wanted to try to wear it with red or black. I am very inspired by Otome fashion recently, with its surprising colour scheme and toned-down girly looks. I have been into the fashion for more than 10 years now and I want to experiment more so I won't get bored. Maybe wearing a light blue skirt with a bright red cutsew was a bold move but I think it works quite well!



And to end this entry on a sweet note, have some pictures of my lemon squares! And also, let me know what is your favourite fruit! Did you like the lemon trend this year? I wish there would be more lemon-themed prints in Lolita fashion!
