It's Monday - another double-whammy, let's-knock-out-two-days-worth-of-meme-posting day.
Day 2 is "10 Things I Love In Lolita", so here is my list -
1) Petticoats (at least the one I have) are so very comfortable! I can make myself a next and be very very comfortable. Hence why I tend to play videogames while wearing it XD
2) While it has set guidelines, it is incredibly versatile, with a lot of room for creativity.
3) It is teaching me how to sew.
4) I feel absolutely beautiful in it.
5) The attention to detail is impeccable.
6) LACE! I love lace. So delicate and elegant... <3
7) It's not costume-y (at least my style isn't) so i can wear it to virtually any kind of event - one of my favorites being the San Francisco Symphony!
8) It's conservative. I really enjoy this, as I am self-conscious of my 95-70-100 figure. Curvy isn't all it's cracked up to be. My busty-ness tends to be a problem though.
9) It really does bring up a lot of compliments. As people comment, I genuinely like the fact that people aren't afraid to comment on what I am wearing.
10) It can flatter all body shapes and types, unlike most mainstream fashions.
Day 3 is "10 Things I Hate In Lolita"
1) Vladimir Nabokov. Brilliant writer, but we're trying to hard to separate Lolita from Lolita.
2) The target consumer audience for most brands are young Japanese women. The rest of the world is kind of screwed, because this audience has a very particular body type.
3) It's expensive. The detail and high quality really rack up the price tag.
4) I cannot walk through tiny aisles in Chinatown gift shops while wearing lolita. Too many breakable objects, and I take up too much room.
5) Online drama.
6) Kind of going with #5, I don't like how judgemental Lolitas can be. It makes me want to avoid my community, especially since it is saturated in brand and Sweet (and I am the opposite.)
7) I can't play with my puppy when I am home and wearing Lolita. His muddy paws get on EVERYTHING :(
8) Prints are a pain in the bustle to clean. And expensive.
9) It seems like experimentation is less-okay in the USA, since the forefront of the fashion is across the globe. It's kind of like a "we'll take it if Japan approves" kind of mentality, like requesting permission from a parent to do something.
10) This is more a bother to my tastes... but PRINTS! EVERYWHERE! It seems like designs are on the decline, but as long as it has a nice print, it's going to be popular. I can't seem to get a nice solid-colour dress anymore :(
What about you? What are your loves/hates about Lolita?
