| I paired it with simple white stockings and shoes because I was running very late that day. My hair has curled and piled on top of my head/down the side for an effective style that took all of 5min not including the curling!
Here is a better picture of the hair…
Yay for hair that is pretty fool proof to do :D
The second time I wore the dress I was in Brisbane staying with my Dad while James and I were working there last week. This time I paired it with black accessories for a less sweet look.
My Dad’s house is full of fancy old knick knacks so I couldn’t resist taking extra photos while we were there.
Both of the bows on this dress are detachable so I wore one on the bottom and one at the small of the back under the lacing area.
This cardigan is one of my favorite things in my wardrobe, the best part: it only cost $3 :D :D :D
I was pretty happy that on this trip I managed to make curling my hair the day beforehand last all the way until the day after we came back! Yay for forward planning :D
One last photo then I’ll stop for this time XD
The third time I wore this dress I wanted something a little more classic and how it was originally intended to be worn. No fancy make up, just low shoes, cute socks and a simple looped plait hair style. Definitely NOT Lolita but I suppose more towards that area that I usually dress XD
Obviously the dress was meant for Lolita so there was ample room for one of my old less floofy petticoats to show just how much room there is in the skirt. I prefer the shape a lot more without a petticoat but that’s just my taste. This time I pinned the larger of the bows on the top front.
This is a bit of a better view of the back so you can sort of see the lace up area.
Nice, casual and very comfy :D
Taadaa, 3 outfits with different feels with 1 dress ^_^

Violet, this outfit http://www.violetlebeaux.com/gallery/Outfit/Outfit/one-day-in-paradise-outfits/brisbane-2011_www.jimmyamerica.com_011.jpg is amazing! *o*
:D Thank you Azu!
It’s that dress I love! Unfortunately the skirt part is waaay too poofy for me… I admire Lolita but I would definitely not wear it, it clashes too much with my cynical attitude and the rest of my wardrobe! I actually, for some weird reason, thought it was a sundress.
XD Cynical attitude for the win!
Hello Violet!

Thanks so much!
What a wonderful dress!! I LOVE it!
It’s one of my favorites!
i love your cupcake tights!
where can i buy some online?
Not sure sorry, mine were a gift from a friend in Japan! I’m pretty sure they are from the brand Swimmer so maybe check their website though not sure if they would still sell a pattern this old!
Looks adorable with the petti ~ <3
Thank you ^_^
Your hair looks spectacular in these shots. I love the looped braids- so cute!
That dress is amazing, and it really suits you.
:D Thanks Ness!
I love this dress! You wear it so beautifully and I like the third look the best. Your hair is so cute that way!
Haha thanks Kathleen, you are too sweet!
Very cute, especially the first one! I love how the curls on your first hairstyle is falling down on the side of your head like a waterfall. ^^
Thanks Wanda, that’s my favorite hair too!
What a lovely dress! I like how you coordinated it in 3 different ways to acheive different looks. Very nice :)
Thank you! I’ll have to do another one like this soon :D
You are so beautiful Violet. Has anyone ever told you that you have Bette Davis Eyes? I seriously adore those dresses and wish I could afford similar ones for myself. I think it would be super cool if you did a makeup video with the Bette Davis style, it would be interesting to see how it looks. With the right makeup people can become a look-a-like for dress up fun. I adore anime dress up sometimes too. I know, I’m a dork, lol.
I don’t think anyone has given me such a nice compliment before thank you! I’ll have to give the make up a try :D Thank you so much <3
I really like the last outfit, and it’s definitely classic lolita!
That’s the way I like to dress when I can, and I’m seriously lusting after that dress now!
But I’m the same way when it comes to lolita/hime dresses; some really call or a petticoat, some just don’t. And sometimes you just don’t want to be a rufflebutt.
Thanks Bunny! I totally know what you mean about being a rufflebutt haha
