Outfit Post ~ Sweater Weather



Sometimes, you just want to be cozy, and this sweater is veeeerry cozy. This is by no means a normal way of wearing Lolita fashion, but as I tend to adapt it to be more wearable on a daily casual basis, I thought this worked pretty decently. This sweater happens to be rather short, which works a lot better with skirts that poof out right from the waist.








Sweater: Gap
Skirt/Bow: Bodyline
Socks: Sockdreams
Boots: Skechers

Blobtoon #10 ~ All Aboard the Puzzleboat!



This week has been rather hectic for many reasons, hence why the Blobtoon happened on Friday this week. However, a large contribution to my distraction has been Puzzleboat 2, a puzzle-solving activity put out by Panda Magazine, and modeled on the structure of MIT Mystery Hunt. It's been loads of fun!!!

English Adaptation ~ K-On!/Houkago Tea Time "Don't Say Lazy"



This song (and this genre of songs in general) is really terrible for my voice type, but I adore this anime and all of the music in it!! Plus, this is a really inspiring song, especially for people going through the struggles of finding themselves and figuring out what they want to do in life. I've done one English adaptation of it before a long time ago, but I decided I wanted to refine the lyrics and re-record a new version for this channel! I apologize in advance for some of the mumbled lyrics in the middle there, I'm not the best at such tongue-twisty speeds XD





"Don't Say Lazy"
Original by: Houkago Tea Time (After School Tea Time)
Anime: K-On!

~ LYRICS:

Please don’t say “You are lazy,”
Because I’m really crazy!
Even the gentle swans
Are kicking up a storm, fighting hard beneath the surface.
I will be true to myself,
I’ll take on all you dish out.
My future’s bright ahead,
So I can stop a bit, take a breath for just a second.

With my own eyes, I'll look and find my aspiration.
X on the map, I’ll mark my final destination.
If I can find, a shortcut I could get there faster
Or gimme wings, that's great ’cause I could tot’lly blast there.

Oh dammit! Broken nail here.
I superglued it! All right!
Just doing that, my heart is really taking flight.
You have to know what's precious to you,
So come on let your diamond heart shine.
To learn to love, you first have to learn to love who you are inside!

Please don’t say “You are lazy,”
Because I’m really crazy!
Even the fiercest hawks
Take care to hide their claws, keep their sharpest tools a secret.
I'm searching for my own dream,
But life's so hard I might scream!
I’ve got to find myself,
So don’t expect my pitch to be polished to perfection.

You can't come close to guessing what I will accomplish.
I'll break them all, your meters, with the force of my wish.
‘Cause when I dream, I always do it at full power,
And when I sleep, I put my all in every hour.

Hey look! Did I just lose weight?
I'm proud but now I just ate.
Why does it feel like all my work has gone to waste?
But that's okay, I'm back on my feet.
Let's aim for something lower.
I'll learn to change, when I adapt there's nothing I can't conquer!

Please don’t say “You are lazy,”
Because I’m really crazy!
Even the vainest birds
Will stop and take a look when they find another beauty.
I'm fighting with my whole self
To bring my beauty all out.
Too many ways to fall,
So when my will gets broken, I gather up the pieces!

No way! What’s this, a Red Point?!
I passed it on a close call!
I feel so great, I know that I can do it all!
You gotta love yourself, yeah that’s right!
So open up, there’s nothing to hide.
To learn to forgive, you first have to accept who you are inside.

Please don’t say “You are lazy,”
Because I’m really crazy!
Even the gentle swans
Are kicking up a storm, fighting hard beneath the surface.
I will be true to myself,
I’ll take on all you dish out.
My future’s bright ahead,
So I can stop a bit, take a breath for just a second.

I always feel like I can't have enough cute purses, and this adorable beaver-shaped bag certainly would fit right in with my collection!

My aunt gave me a couple of lovely hats, and it has now fueled a need for cute yet sophisticated hats like this beautiful cloche.

With spring finally beginning to make an appearance, light sweaters like this cute one from DreamV are always a nice addition. This one can be worn 2 different ways!

One day I will get a smartphone, and then I can use this cute trunk-shaped clutch to hold it (and a few other small things).
