I'm definitely a lolita lifestyler :
- I have kept all my childhood dolls and collecting some more mostly second-hand
- I go coupons and lace shopping with fellow lolitas
- I go and organize brunches and tea parties
- I drink tea regularly, quality ones, sourced ethically, from China mostly
- I'm learning to sew
- I've repaired many socks but also one of my petticoats
- I mostly buy my clothes second hand, even from fellow lolitas I know quite frequently
- I look at new releases like weekly
- I try to participate on lolibrary when I get my hands on an unarchived item (from Emily Temple Cute for example)
- My boyfriend wears ouji
- I participate in deconstructing cultural appropriation, racism (inventing yourself a Japanese name for example) and sinophobia (it's chinese so it's poorly made, saying a brand, makeup or technique is japanese or korean when it's actually chinese etc)
- I'm disabled so I try to create more inclusive spaces for fellow disabled lolitas (and harajuku fashion lovers)
