I grew up being taught that I shouldn't swear in public no matter what. I don't want to swear, and I never used to, but it just sort of became habit after having to be surrounded by people who cursed a lot for long periods of time. I don't see how it's fake for me to try not swearing if it's something I don't personally want to do. I'm not trying to argue or anything, especially since you just said you don't personally agree, I just don't understand why trying to be a better person and being myself makes people think I'm faking who I am.

That's honestly one of the most flattering things I've heard because I used to like Skye's writing. I wasn't trying to mimic her or anything, I just wanted to write something that came more from my romantic side since this is a lifestyle thread and I thought it would be acceptable.
That's what I wish to do, wear the clothes but not in a Lolita way. It's funny, I'm in what I believe is my 7th year of Lolita. I have my own style and aesthetic too and it encompasses more than just Lolita, and Lolita really does not always agree with my lifestyle even though I am what you would consider a lifestyle lolita.
I'm afraid my new evolving style may not morph so gracefully at first, but I'm very excited to see where it goes. I want to add more mori and possibly otome influence to my clothes, along with things that have a fairy-tale charm to them or an old-world look, and overall I want things to be more laid back and simpler so I can easily enjoy wearing them daily.

You sound like a very intelligent person. I'm glad that you left this comment. It's good advice, realistic and hurts nobody.
