I think you can tell the difference by the way it's coordinated. I don't wear otome kei but I think you are supposed to mix patterns and use bolder colours (compared to lolita)? And tough JM, ETC and Milk are considered otome kei brands in the West, in Japan you often see them lumped in with lolita brands, or just girly style. I suspect this is what Misako wants us to call soft lolita.
