2020 in Lolita Flatlay Coords

We're at the brink of leaving 2020 behind and stepping into 2021. I think it's safe to say that 2020 has been a particularly crappy year for all of us, so I'm not regretful leaving it behind. Naturally, it's not as if all problems solve itself January 1st, but with positivity on the horizon I'd like to try and stay a bit positive myself too (although it's been damn challenging lately).

I haven't looked back upon the past year since 2016 and starting to do it again now might seem a bit of an odd moment, but here's the thing. I admit I haven't worn much Lolita this year. In fact, I've only worn one actual Lolita outfit this year and it was in only in the last month, but it's still more than in 2019. XD However, thanks to my friend Emilie, I've started doing a lot more flatlay coords! So much so, that I ended up with 16 flatlay coords since starting at the beginning of May. Back then, a lot of Lolitas were doing remote twin coords on Instagram and Emilie asked me if I wanted to join her, but as I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear any dresses, she suggested we did twin flatlays. Since then, I've tried to post flatlays regularly, sometimes with delight, sometimes a little forced, but always with lovely results. I'm fairly proud of my work and decided to put them all into one post here, to prove to myself that 2020 wasn't all bad. At least, not in terms of (flatlay) Lolita outfits!

So here they are, my 16 Lolita coords of 2020!
