Does anyone know a good place where I can get an old school bonnet like Momoko?

....What is the difference? Are light colors night allowed to be old school? Only black and white dresses with maxi pads? I guess half of what Momoko wears isn't old school.

Misako is not the inventor of Lolita fashion, lets not create substyles based on what one model says.

I like my comms members but I'm always annoyed by the handful of e-fame hungry girls we have.

None of us care about your blogs.

>So apply the same to lolita.
This is a bit of a false dichotomy. Classic retro vintage actually happened, with clothes that were actually made during that time or that are currently being made and maintained in that style. It'd be more appropriate if we actually dressed up in victorian or rococo period inspired clothing and stuck primarily to these types of dress styles, but right now that is not the case, it's a print clusterfuck. Lolita fashion is a serious hot mess which follows no rules other than to make a profit off young girls. Which leads into this:

>I honestly don't know why it isn't more popular... maybe because people associate it with putting on an act?
Simply put? Yes. It does look like an act, it looks really really fake, and weird, even some of the cotton material used early on had a terrible paper like texture which flies in the face of rococo sensibility, it's a mess. It always looks better when done in a calmer, more casual otome normal fag kind of way, or on the opposite end when it's very true to classical rococo.

I rewatched Kamikaze Girls yesterday cause it's been years, and it all felt incredibly fake, and weird, and why is she dressing up like a small child, why is she wearing a baby's bonnet if she enjoys rococo fashion, why not a more mature appropriate bonnet? Nothing felt believable. It's a weird cobbled together harajuku fashion style that doesn't make a lot of cohesive sense and I think the child-like aspect is a real turn off to most people, myself included. Yes it exists, it's there, it's weird. I generally try to avoid it and incorporate only casual outfits into my general style, avoid the peter pan collars, but it's this reason I would never call myself a lolita, or be a part of its community, it has ageplay elements, or "doll-like", but let's not fool ourselves in thinking it isn't interchangeable.
