I don't understand- I wear above to class and I get compliments all the time. Most of my professors love it or just don't comment on it, and I know my clothes haven't affected their impression of me because my grades are still good. I live in a fashionable city anyways, which helps already.
Every time I buy something lolita related, she tells me not to wear it. I came home for the holidays and had a package with a pair of shoes- and upon showing her she tells me not wear the shoes in pic related to class because I won't be taken seriously. I doubt they'll affect anybody's impression of me but I'm getting more and more paranoid. I've never worn lolita to class and I don't plan on it, but everything she says to me stresses me out so bad. I've been working up to wearing lolita out of the house without the company of a friend or my bf but coming home has basically negated all the courage I've built up.
I know she's overreacting a little bit- she thinks Asian women dying their hair light brown makes them look like whores (we're Asian), but I can't help but take everything she says super seriously. I just want to enjoy my clothes.

I don't understand- I wear my Liz Lisa and ETC to class and I get compliments all the time. Most of my professors love it or just don't comment on it, and I know my clothes haven't affected their impression of me because my grades are still good. I live in a fashionable city anyways, which helps already.

I came home for the holidays and had a package with a pair of shoes- and upon showing her she tells me not wear the shoes to class because I won't be taken seriously. Pic related is one of the pairs.
