So... I've been into Lolita fashion since I was in high school. It's cute, elegant and I've longed to have these clothes in my wardrobe for ages. I showed it to my mom once and she thought it was garish, and that's stopped me from investing in it since I still live with her (1/?)
This was ~7 yrs ago and I'm an adult now so she can't really have a say in what I wear but I'm still nervous about investing in it. Lolita is really expensive. I just ordered shoes, and now I need more pieces to actually make my first coordinates. It's gonna take time. (2/?)
My mom's not mean by any means, it's just a weird style of fashion so ofc she'll think it's weird. In a way, it's sort of like when I told her I was getting a fursuit, except I would wear Lolita more often than my fursuit bc it's clothes and not a costume (3/?)
Kinda feels like I have to "come out" about this but I can't come out as a Lolita the same way I didn't come out as a furry. That's not how that works. This is like saying I'm going to be a goth, and then having your folks having to accept that, I feel like (4/?)
Anyway, the reason I wrote this thread is bc I'm going to be buying pieces, very steadily, over time to build my Lolita wardobe and will probably be sharing my journey here on Twitter. It's a journey to help find, or at least, solidify my identity! If that makes sense (5/?)
So yeah, expect me to occasionally post pics and... maybe selfies regarding this in the future! That's all I guess 
(Also I'm sure someone will ask but this has *nothing* to do with the book or lolicon anime stuff. It's just a subculture/alternative fashion from Japan) (6/6)
