Very Very Warm Summer Coords ∣ Coords

 

Back in June my comm had a little casual picnic, so I put together a cute little country lolita coord. The weather that day was horribly hot and close, but other than that we had a lovely little picnic. I brought a couple of issues of Olive magazine which we all looked through.

This coord made me want to buy a black ringlet wig, I think it would have looked so cute!

So fun little story, my shoe broke as soon as I got off the bus, so I had to trek to the other side of town to get it fixed before trekking all the way to the park. In the stupid 24 degree humid weather. I was super late. I think these shoes are on their way out tbh. But I really don't want to buy a replacement pair because Demonia slightly changed the style so the toe is less bulbous. I want big round clown feet Demonia, don't rob me of my dream >:(

Then towards the end of June, I had plans with my mum and her boyfriend to go to Chillingham castle. On the way we made a stop to hike up Ross Point, from which you get an amazing view as you can see in the photo above. I put together a casual-ish coord with DMs for practicality. This is also the first time I've worn my new hairstyle with lolita, though you can't actually see the shaved parts in any of the photos.

Once we got to the castle, we had a small picnic and then looked around. The castle isn't a National Trust site and is privately owned, so the whole place was presented in a rather cobbled together manner which was quite charming. I really wanted to have a proper look at the garden but unfortunately the castle closes quite early and we ran out of time = A =;;

 

In July there was an alternative night market, so my friends and I got dressed up to go. It sold witchy stuff, gothic accessories, and things like that. I had recently bought a hime cut wig from Maple and wanted to make a coord with it. I went for an EGL vibe to go with the wig and I really like how it turned out, though I underestimated the temperature that day lol.

A little later in July, Helena hosted another Cafe Club meet. Once again I put together a gothic coord with my hime cut wig, though this time a little more weather appropriate. I've had this beaded choker for ages and I've wanted to wear it. This coord ended up being the perfect fit for it!

It was yet another scorching day, so we ended up getting ice tea at the cafe and later in the day we got ice cream and chilled on the grass.
