If you've ever been to /fit/, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I've been into lolita for about a year and I have an ok-sized wardrobe, but I don't participate on EGL or d_l because I'm still in my cocoon stage. I'm trying to lose weight, learning how to style my clothes and hair and trying to amass a decent sized wardrobe before jumping in and participating in the online community. Did anyone else do this? I woke up today and realized how weird I'm being.
