And with that out of the way, let’s get on with the 30 Day Lolita Meme.
Day 6 – 10 things you can’t live without in lolita.
1. Big skirts! I seriously can’t wear lolita unless I have my two petticoats, or if I’m away from home, if I can borrow some poof. Part of what attracted me to lolita were the big poofy skirts, so, naturally, they’re my favorite part of lolita.
2. False eyelashes. I originally started wearing falsies for cosplay, but they’re addicting. I LOVE wearing them, I think they make such a difference to my normal makeup! I also wear them with formal non-lolita outfits too sometimes.
3. RINGS! It’s funny, I used to hate wearing rings because I would always play with them. But at MEWcon ’09/’10, I bought a few cute lolita rings from a girl in the Artist Alley, who I later became friends with. Almost all my rings are from her, since I try to buy something every time I see her at a con! I seriously can’t wear lolita without a few cute rings.
4. Adorable shoes. My first pair of shoes that I considered to be lolita were bought the day after Easter in the kids section, and they were little white formal shoes. They came in a big enough size to fit me, and I was in love! Since then I’ve gotten some better shoes, but I could never wear just simple flats or ordinary shoes in lolita.
5. Circle lenses! This is a recent development, but I LOVE wearing circle lenses. I think they make me look way cuter, plus the pair I have is super comfortable. Like falsies, I started wearing them for cosplay, but then it spilled over into lolita and even normal clothes.
6. Boleros and cardigans. I’m uncomfortable showing my upper arms, but I usually get too warm in long sleeves. But I LOVE boleros and cardigans because I can cover my arms with them, but the sleeves are easy to roll up. Almost every outfit I wear involves a cardigan or bolero.
7. Cute nails~ I have very thin nails that easily break, so part of why I started always wearing nail polish was to keep them from peeling and cracking. But now I love doing my nails to match my outfit! I have a lot of cute pastel colors to match my lolita outfits, and I think it’s a nice finishing touch.
8. Wigs! For a while my hair was a strange cut and color to wear with my lolita, so I started wearing almost exclusively wigs. Now my hair is back to it’s natural color and a cuter cut, but it’s still nice to be able to plop on a wig and not have to spend time doing my hair.
9. OTK socks or tights. Like my arms, I’m uncomfortable with my legs, so knee-highs that stop below my knee tend to make me look… not so great. I think socks that cover my knee and tights help make my legs look slimmer.
10. My friends! I love lolita, but it’s way more fun to wear it with friends who are dressed up with me rather than all alone. Unfortunately I don’t go to school with any lolita friends, but during winter break I’m getting and opportunity to dress up. I can’t wait to finally go to another meetup!
