“I volunteered a lot when I was an arborist. I’ve worked for Kids Climbs and AOR day projects. I enjoyed straightening out gardens and doing tree work for different organizations. It truly makes me feel happy, and something I hope to keep doing to be able to give my time in voluntarily.” - Nicolette

This dress features an elegant ruffle at the skirt and a bell-sleeved top underneath which adds dimension to their outfit. In addition to the floral hat on their head, they wear strapped platform sandals with socks and white stockings, furthering the ensemble's uniqueness
Lolita
This fashion style combines the elegance of aristocracy with the modernity of today's trends. During the 1970s, Lolita was associated with Harajuku, a district in Tokyo. In the 1980s, Lolita fashion was popularized by a craze called Doll Fashion in Japan. The elegant, calamitous, and lovely nature of Nicolette's character creates a bridge between their style identity and who they are. Lolita fashion is a captivating and unique style that originated in Japan. What sets it apart is its blend of Victorian and Rococo influences, characterized by voluminous skirts, delicate lace, ribbons, and an overall doll-like aesthetic. The subculture places great emphasis on modesty and elegance, creating a distinctive contrast to mainstream fashion.
