When I first fell in love with lolita fashion, it was in my emo/punk/scene phase (I actually looked like a hobo), so I was naturally drawn to gothic lolita. Even my first attempt at a coordinate was a budget gothic, with black skirt my mom made and one tone lighter blouse from Cropp. I don't think it looked very good, but it wasn't ita either, for that it was too boring. I wore that to Animefest, the biggest Czech anime convention.
I fell for gothic lolita again ୧( ಠ Д ಠ )୨. It's a bit funny, as I finally maintained shoes and accessories for all of my main pieces, and none of them is black or mainly black. I can't really add much to my closet, mainly when it comes to shoes, as I have at least 13 pairs now. I don't think you can have too much shoes, but I believe you can have too little space to store them all, which happened to me.
I wore that skirt one more time, with my friend and sister, who don't want to dress Lolita any more. We had a blast, but then my friend's parents grounded her for being “emo ". Yeah. There is a lot to unpack here.
After that, I didn´t really think I will ever get more clothes, though I still read many lolita blogs. I was too young (around thirteen) to get some job, my parents could not give me too much money and even if financial problems solved themselves, I think it would still look awkard on me. Many kids can pull it off, but I think I was that type of child that should go for sweet instead, as seriousness did not suit me at all.
When I started my lolita passion again, I really did prefer sweet, and since it was around 2019, I cherished OTT sweet most.
I actually liked styles like country and navy more, but I was always a bit too dramatic and this was perfect. Now I don't want to do OTT anymore, I wear more casual country/punk lolita, and old school for special occasions, but I probably came full circle.

Last year, I started to enjoy more goth music, so I started to inspire my looks with the gothic subculture, so this might be an additional reason why I started to like it again. Or it might be the fact that I can never be happy and pleased with anything I do or have :).
Well, that's for my future therapist.
I think I enjoy edginess and coolness, which are two traits I sadly lack. Well, I still can get some pieces and mix them with punk lolita. I am eyening one skirt at Vinted right now, I think I am going to buy it :D.
They are so cool! Now, I also fell in love with cream and beige coordinates, so this is probably not going really become "my thing" :D. But I think it will be nice to try something new (and old at the same time).
I am going to Prague next week, with my class and one of my favorite teachers. Considering it´s on the opposing side of the republic, I really spend a lot of time there. I just appear here at least once in two months, usually without really planning it. We will have some theme days with my friends, so I will use that as an excuse to wear lolita.

(Two days after writing this article, I bought that skirt.)
Have a nice day, dear reader!
