Dressing Appropriately for the Occasion: Crossing the Line in Lolita Fashion

Ahhh, Lolita fashion - always causing some kind of ruckus. As much as the most of us live in a place where we have the freedom to express ourselves in the form of clothing, there are still some places in that freedom that you will find yourself in an awkward predicament because of your clothing choices.

I suppose a Lolita fashion inspired wedding could be OK to wear Lolita fashion to!

You may be thinking, "I wear what I want, whenever I want, however I want! I do not care what other people think!" Sometimes, it is not really about what other people think, rather, it is about what is appropriate for the situation. Usually, Lolita fashion breaks the appropriate-line when you are in a situation where you really should not be standing out, either because you are not supposed to be the center of attention, or because the task at hand is more important than your clothing.

Frills Friday: Moi-même Moitié Floral One Piece Gothic Lolita

Gothic Lolita always seems to tug at my heart strings whenever I see a coordinate in that sub-style of Lolita fashion, so I really find myself drawn to this particular outfit. I did not recognize her, but she was featured on this blog quite a long time ago for her Shiro Lolita coordinate! Obviously her sense of style has not left her, proving so with this really elegant, simple outfit. Goes to show you how a little can go a long way, with the basic shoes, tights, and jewelry accenting the very boisterous one piece. Enjoy this Frills Friday addition!

Everything is Moi-même Moitié except for the tights, shoes, and some of the jewelry which are offbrand.

Frills Friday: Classic Lolita Fleur Antoinette from Mary Magdalene and Cute Woven Hat

Spring is here and summer is coming, at least for the Northern hemisphere, and what better to make a day brighter than a Classic Lolita fashion coordinate featuring a dress from Mary Magdalene. The hat is really what made this outfit stand out to me. It was different and atypical head wear that you see in a Lolita fashion outfit, but it still works really well and does not overwhelm the outfit as a whole. The colors are soft and the way the hair is styled works out well with the flowing feeling generated from the coordinate. Enjoy this Frills Friday addition!

Frills Friday: Ruffly Kodona in Black and White (And a Violin Too!)

It is hard to see a good Kodona outfit nowadays, and I am not sure why. It just seems like a neglected sub-style in the Lolita fashion world. Luckily, I ran across this wonderful ensemble that made my Kodona needs fulfilled! This outfit has just enough ruffles, flow, and elegance, which I think a lot of Kodona outfits miss out on; this is still a very modest outfit. Enjoy this Frills Friday addition!

Lolita Blog Carnival: The Most Un-Lolita Thing About Me - Lolita Fashion Has Things?

Lolita Blog Carnival has decided on this topic this week, but I think I am going to be the oddball out because I do not really agree with the sentiment. Queue comments like, "Oh geeze, here we go, another person who thinks ~*anyone can be a Lolita if you believe*~". Cutesy, love-everyone sentiment aside, I really do not think I can respond to this topic with an answer like "video games" or "my innate ability to curse furiously when a programming project throws yet another error" because I really do not think that Lolita fashion has things that are more Lolita than the other.

"But Christina, this is just a lighthearted topic, can you please keep it squeaky clean and fun?"
