[coord] Holiday European Tea at Alexander Mansion

I finally got to visit the Alexander Mansion sumptuously decorated for the holidays and serving European-style tea for the month of December. It was a cold and dreary day when we went out, but the setting was beautiful even if my makeup and hair weren't. I had purchased some red dresses online, but nothing looked as perfect for the holidays as this random Bodyline dress I got on clearance lol.

Dress: Bodyline; bolero: Victorian Maiden; shoes, book purse, tights, headband: off-brand; jewelry: H&M, Forever 21; corsage: handmade; coat and collar not pictured are also off-brand

Simple but effectively festive and a perfect classic lolita look right out of the Victorian Maiden or Mary Magdalene catalog (rest in piece.) I had a cute cream wool jacket with a detachable fur collar that I wore, I left the collar in for extra warmth once inside. My favorite part about this outfit is that the bolero actually fits (unlike most Victorian Maiden clothing lol) and it came with detachable trim and lace cuffs. My least favorite part is that my false lashes and lipstick weren't looking so great in photos, but that's what photoshop is for!
