#l329

Himawari - wa lolita to visit Ateneo Art Gallery’s Manga Hokusai exhibit with my friend. Photo trips with Meili are the most fun, and we got into the spirit of things with the pleasantly mild weather that afternoon. I probably should have used ordinary hair ties instead of fluffy ones, but I was in a hurry and didn’t notice -w-

Sunflowers are planted every year at my university as a symbol of good luck to the graduates. We’ve had several heavy thunderstorms lately, but the flowers still seem to be holding strong!

Meria - it is now entering high summer. It is not hot enough to bake in, but only just- and the end is nigh. The weatherman said that parts of the country will hit 41°C tomorrow; joy to the world, I am sure.

A while ago, there was a thread on Rufflechat about wearing lolita in summer. Since our seasons are ‘you go to the beach’ and ‘the beach goes to you’ (aka typhoon) I put in my two cents, summarized below.

Lace shawls are the saving grace of summer. Lighter and more airy than blouses or boleros, they’re the next best thing to actually going blouseless. When it hits 41 here, I probably won’t bother with a blouse or wig at that point, but since shoulders are rather ~scandalous~ shawls are great.
