I really love lolita fashion! I'm a BIG fan of bows, ribbons, dresses, frills, lace, skirts and knee/thigh high socks. ^_^

I'm too shy to wear that stuff in public though, sadly. I wouldn't wear wigs and I wouldn't stress out trying to buy expensive brand name lolita clothes either. (most lolita's would hate me XD) I don't have a lot of money so I want to get the best stuff for my money. I just want to wear stuff that is lolita looking, if you know what I mean. Then if I like it, I can start saving up for more "official" pieces.

I too look waaaay younger than I am but I've come to accept it with pride! I'm 20 and I'm constantly asked if I'm in grade 9 lol.

Are lolitas really that vicious? LOL

I watched a "S*it lolita's say video" a while back, and they said some pretty mean stuff, but I didn't know they were all that terrible.

from what i've been seeing, i wouldn't recommend buying brand right away if you're a beginner, go with cheaper bodyline dresses and once you feel more comfortable and have gotten the hang of making decent coords, go in for the burando. nothing would suck more than spending hundreds on a dress you don't even know how to wear.

if you're worried about lolitas being mean, this isn't just dress up and cosplay to these people, they take their fashion very seriously. they'll label you an ita if you're completely butchering something they work hard to keep up with. it seems mean and sometimes they are very well just being plain spiteful, a lot of it is that some people just make their fashion look like a joke even after being offered constructive critique on how to improve. please don't wear cat ears with a fashion that's meant to look elegant...

all in all, i think lolita is really cute. i've been reading up on it a bit and i'm thinking i might give it a try at least once. i feel bad for saying this but i love sweet lolita. i love the pastels and bright colours idk why they call girls who wear it age players but whatevs. a lot of classic lolita is absolutely gorgeous as well. i wanna lose some weight so i can actually fit into the dresses too lmao

matcha: these people are pretty much clanking down if you make a tiniest mistake, some are really toxic more than helpful. I understand you shouldn't wear certain things like cat ears (since it becomes more street/decora/fairy) but really just because you can't afford it all doesn't mean you are an ita per se.

there's nothing wrong with not affording brand. i know some lolitas will come down on you hard for really tiny mistakes, i even mentioned that a lot of them are just plain spiteful. however, i have seen plenty of lolitas offer good advice about how to improve a coord and a lot of people pull the whole "i'm my own lolita" and ignore it, so i can see why they might get really mad at what seems really trivial. however, freaking out at people for wearing bodyline for example, idt that's justified, especially if they are a beginner or on a budget.

yeah the thing is most of these constructive critics people do it just cause rather than being nice imo. I mean sure it's not good to look bad regardless which fashion you are into, but unless they are into really cheap cosplay outfits/ita style some can throw quite a fit to be honest.

really they should just ignore each other since they are one of a kind in their own things. and if people really want to give critique they could be friendler(goes for people asking too) and not be so snarky

I personally love Lolita fashion, I've been in to wearing it for around 3 years now > u < I started off with Bodyline, but I highly recommend Tumlbr for coords inspiration as well as looking at the Angelic Pretty models, since their coords are beautiful, but yeah here's a few of mine Lolita things ^ ^

i have been told to buy cheaper dresses first but i went for angelic pretty instead. there is nothing wrong with wearing cheaper dresses, i just figured if i were not to have as many dresses, i could wear the ones that were high quality often without ruining them. it is sort of like when i wear my "normal clothes", i invest on more high-end fashion to not ruin them if i wear them all the time.

i did a lot of research on lolita and all the tips and "rules" before deciding on actually going lolita. i am not a full beginner if you assumed that i was so i know most of what not to do. animal ears are not recommended in lolita and i personally would not wear them but i have seen some girls work them well if they coord them with a print that focuses on the animal they are wearing.
