Inspiration....from where?

Bloggers, lolitas, artists, etc... everyone must draw inspiration from all around them. But some days you wake up and....nothing. Nothing inspires you. Nothing pops and says "HEY! Look at me!" But it happens to the best of us? So how do you get inspired? I know what I do...

Read other blogs - Yeah, yeah. That's kinda obvious but it's true. Sometimes one article can cause you to write a response or even go to a different topic. Sometimes they have tutorials for different styles or how to make a few items. Like F Yeah Lolita's tut on how to make waist ties into hairbows. It's a pretty neat thing but I'll never do it. Why? Cause I have a secret obsession with waist ties. I dunno, something about the bow on my back just makes me feel really special.

Pictues - My thing is just look at them and imagine the way you'd do things. Like if they wear pink and lavender coordinate, how would you do it? Would you coose the same colors or just pick one? Or maybe you'd do the same excat thing except in a different style? Or maybe the theme is just somehting you've always wished to do for an outfit. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and in this case a thousand words.

Music - Now this might be harder but to me, music is an inspiration among itself. When I hear christmas music, I immediately think of long sleeved blouses, extra pettis to keep out the chill, long bloomers, more one peices, etc... Lots of wintery items for the chilly loli. But when techno music dances up, for some reason I think of Angelic Pretty. Maybe it's the neonic colors and wild prints that make me think of a rave gone victorian. I dunno, it might be just me.

People watching - This could be argued as also looking at pictures but I digress. Pictures are made to look pretty while the person has a choice to be pretty or not. Just looking at people you can tell what fashions are in, who has the money to afford the real deal, and what a person is even like. Try it sometimes. Just go to a mall, park, or just a crowded place in general and stare at someone (But try to be discreet). You can tell so much from the way a person acts, talks, moves, and even dances.

So surely that must be it? No. we have one more MAGICAL....ok, not really magical but...it's awesome alright! There is one last thing you can get inspiration from.

Your wardrobe - Huh? My closet? Isn't that the problem I'm trying to solve, that I have no inspiration to wear anything in my closet?  Well that's your problem. Your looking at your wardrobe the WRONG WAY! Take my miniscule closet of lolidom. I have one blouse, two skirts, a petti, and a headbow. That's it. But do I cry....a little.....just kidding. I try and make the best of what I find and/or have. I have a new pair of OTK socks thanks to Target. And the wonderful extra fabric I have laying around makes a great mini bow pillow. You just gotta take your items from a different angle. You like pink like me? Well try lavender and pink! Or even pink and black. You see there are hundreds maybe even thousands of combinations just waiting for you in your closet.

So tell me, what inspires you the most? And what's your most prized peice of clothing?
Until next time,
