~Lolita Meme - Answers~

Meme from: F Yeah Lolita.

1. Best Lolita fashion advice you've ever received?

I've had a lot of Lolita fashion advice, such as be yourself and dare to break the rules a little, but the most recent one is to use a Crinoline underskirt instead of the more common ones made of tulle. I have a few tulle ones, but after just a little while they turn useless for keeping my skirt puffy, so I'm going to save up for a crinoline one as soon as possible. My friend Andrea has one, and her skirts looks amazing with the crinoline underneath.

2. Style icons?

Oh my, I don't know if I have anyone in particular. But both my friend Andrea and my friend Malin are great inspirations for the Lolita fashion. But other than that I look at Lolita fashion tumblrs, such as: Sweet Lolita Tumblr. So other Lolitas are my style icons, they inspire me.

3. Describe your personal style.

My Lolita style is a mixture of Classic and Sweet. ^^ I prefer wearing cardigans/boleros with my JSKs, instead of Blouses, however, I do wear blouses sometimes, when I feel like it. So I suppose my Lolita style is a bit down to earth, but still cute and lovely. I'm not so much over the top sweet, but a more classical sweet Lolita.

4. Favorite designers/brands?

My favorite brand is Baby the stars shine bright. They have very pretty prints, but doesn't go as much over the top with thier sweet fashion as AP can do. Also I really love the brand Innocent World aswell. But I do enjoy all of the Lolita brands in their own way.

5. Most cherished items?

I think that is my only Angelic Pretty piece, a pink polkadot JSK, and also my newest Baby the stars shine bright JSK, black with flowers. But also my RHS from ebay and my Baby necklace. I suppose I cherish all my Lolita clothes/items. The once my mother has made aswell. so I can't really think of one, to be honest.

6. Most used item?

I think it is either my Baby necklace or my RHS. But as far as dresses go I have to say: my AP JSK or my Meta JSK.

7. I feel best wearing?

Either my black Baby JSK or the one I wore for this years international Lolita day.

8. The first thing I look for in another Lolita's outfit...

The coordination, how everything is put together and how that looks. But I suppose the dresses and skirts, the headpieces and necklaces catches my eyes pretty fast.

9. Lolita Fashion rule you never break?

I'm trying to remeber all the rules but right now I can't really tell wich ones I never break. I suppose I have my own idea of how I want to wear Lolita fashion, so I stick to how I want it. I don't care much for rules. but I would never try to wear Lolita in a erotic/sexy way.

10. Never caught wearing?

I have no idea. but clothes that don't fit me, or that I feel looks tacky.

11. Dress to impress who?

Myself. I don't dress for other people, mostly I dress for myself. I wear what I feel is pretty and how I want it. So that I feel good about myself.

12. Your next "must have" purchase?

Crinoline. A black Bolero. More stockings and new dresses. I don't have any specific dresses in mind, probably something homemade. (I'm saving up money for a new Computer and phone, so there will not be any new brand dresses for quite a while now.)

13. Favorite type of head accessory?

Flowers. hairclips with flowers, diadem with flowers and so on. Ribbons are also cute, but mostly it's flowers or/and butterflies in my hair.

14. Favorite cut of clothing (shirring, high waist, princess seams etc)?

I like shirring, but mostly on brand pieces, homemade ones are made after my bodyshape, so I don't need shirring then. JSKs rather than OPs. Cardigan/Boleros rather than Blouses.

15. Current obsession?

I don't know. But I really want that crinoline, so right now that's my obsession I suppose. But other than that. I want more dresses like the one I wore for the international Lolita day, wich I linked in question number 7. but with all kinds of different fabrics, prints and so forth.

16. Best Lolita fashion advice you can give to anyone:

Be yourself, have fun with the fashion. Concider "the rules" of the fashion more as guidelines than rules. But also knowlage is power, before you jump into the fashion, read about it, try to get your own idea of how you want it to be and make it work. Good Luck! :)

~Tell us about yourself - meme~

I took this meme from Lolita Charm blog: http://lolita-charm.blogspot.com/ ^^v Thank you!

COLOURS

What colours can be found in your Lolita closet?
Mostly Pink, White, Green, Bordeaux, Blue, Black and Lilac I think. ^^

What is your favourite colour with Lolita?
I like Pink the most, but I'd really like to have a yellow and mint coloured dress. ^^

What is your least favourite colour in Lolita?
Orange. I don't like Orange much as it is.

Which uncommon colour do you want to try out?
That's a difficult question, but I'd like to match pink and yellow together in an outfit, but that's not so uncommon now is it? ^^v

DESIGN
Are you more a Onepiece, Jumperskirt or a Skirt person?
I like Jumperskirts the best. ^^ Either with a blouse underneath or a bolero over. But on a hot summer day you can wear it as it is. ^^ But I could as easily wear an OP. I'm not much of a Skirt person however. ^^v

Which cut do you like the best?
It dosen't matter much to me. ^^

Print or no Print?
I like both, but I think I'd rather have a print.

How does a dress/skirt have to look like that it will be a "must have" item for you?
I don't know, I just have to like it a whole lot, it's more how you feel when you look at it, rather than being a specific way. ^^

STYLES
What is your favourite style in Lolita?
Classic and Sweet.

Which style do you wear regularly?
Sweet and Classic with a bit of Casual over it. If I'm not in Lolita I wear Lolita inspired clothing.

Which style you want to try out?
Hime-Lolita, also Kuro and/or Shiro, Country would be fun to try too. ^^ I wouldn't mind to try alot of styles.

Which style you never want to try out/wear again?
Ero, I don't belive there should be something sexual about Lolita, that's why ero is a big no no for me. I don't mind other people wearing it as long as they do it good/tasteful.

BRANDS

Brands yes or no and why?
I think if you can afford Brands, then go for it, but when you can't afford it it's nice to have places like Bodyline to count on. I think it works just as well with well done homemade outfits as brand outfits, however I really think we should support the brands too since it's thanks to them we can have all of these wonderful Lolita things. ^^

Which brand is your favourite?
Baby the stars shine bright, it's the first brand I got to know about and it's still a favourite of mine. But I also like Innocent World and Angelic Pretty. I think most brands have alot to offer that I like. ^^

Which is your least favourite brand?
I don't know, I don't think I have a least favourite right now.

Ever had a good/bad experience with brand?
Unfortunatly I haven't bought directly from a brand yet, so I don't have any experience in the matter, I've only bought one Baby dress second hand from a friend of mine. ^^

Will this experience encourage/stop you from buying brand?
I haven't got any bad or good experience, but I would definatly like to buy brand clothes some day when I can afford it. ^^

OTHER
Did you ever get surprised by a piece of Lolita?
No, I don't think so. maybe some choices of design haven't been my cup of tea, but that's about it I think. ^^

Did you ever get disappointed by a piece of Lolita?
Luckily No. ^^

Things that you like about Lolita?
I like that it's so versatile, pretty, and I like how I feel when I'm wearing it. For me Lolita has become a part of me and my life.

Things that you dislike on Lolita?
That sometimes your skirt make things fall down on the floor/ground. XD

Do you have a Lolita fashion idol, if 'yes' who is it?
Oh I don't know. I admire my friend Malin (Insomnalia) a lot, she's an inspiration to me. She is how a lolita should be, kind, pretty, wears both brand and offbrand clothes on a daily basis. ^^ Her home is so fairylike and inspiring as well. ^^

Does Lolita affect your every day life?
Yes, since it's a part of who I am, I like to have it around me as much as I can. ^^

Do you buy Lolita related things, like cute looking furniture?
Yes, most things that I buy are cute, I like having pretty things around, like I said. ^^v And I would love to decorate my future apartment/home as lovely as I imagine. My room has a tendency of being very sweet and pink. ^^

Do you read/buy the Gothic Lolita Bible?
I only have one Gothic Lolita Bible, but I like reading it and I wouldn't mind buying more of those. ^^ However I have alot of Gosu Rori magazines that I also like a whole lot. ^^

How to you describe your fashion style to others that don´t know about Lolita?
I start of by saying that it's called Lolita and that it has nothing to do with the novel by the same name. Then I say that it's inspired by Victorian clothing and the Rococo period. That it's a sweet and lovely Japanese fashion. ^^ I don't really know, I try to explain as good as I can what it is for me to be a Lolita. However I've mostly talked to people I know about it, so it's more casual than what I make it sound like here. :'D

Is there something you want to say to your fellow Lolitas?
You are beautiful, I'm really glad that we can spread the sweetness of Lolita around the world. Don't be afraid to add a bit of yourself to your style and keep up the good work. ^^v
