Fucking newfag. You/they aren’t a “lolita at heart”, you’re someone who likes the fashion. If you don’t wear the clothes, you cannot label yourself any kind of lolita.

Firstly, this is clearly bait.
>Why so buttmad?
Nyart, but they don't sound assblasted, they're right to tell op (and you) to fuck right off. You either wear lolita or you don't.
>She can follow it and fascinate it you know?
>follow it and fascinate it
ok
>Not that she'd ever like your coords but still.
You sound assblasted. This is an anonymous image board. You're projecting. You can't tell someone's sense of fashion from what they say on 4chan. Kek.
>I too can't afford it, but I make it all myself.
ok.

Not a "newfag" (btw newfags only say newfags) if I've been here since I was underaged as a now 20 something almost 30 year old girl. But you can if you:
1. Take things not so literally
2. Know what this at heart expression means.
I quote: "at heart
1. In accordance with one's deepest feelings or desires.

This is a j-fashion/cosplay board and OP didn't say she doesn't look like some kind of other weeb. And why me, I clearly said I do wear lolita, except not burando and handmade. Or is lolita a brand? Teach me, oldfag senpai!
>ok
I said follow, as in read about it and see the pictures of lolita fashion on the internet, magazine scans etc....etc...etc...

The only acceptable excuse for being a “lolita at heart” is if you’re a minor with no job and living with your parents. Otherwise it’s creepy and weird. Also you need to keep your mouth shut, not be an annoying whiny cunt and never give advice to other lolitas. Also you must be 18 to post here.

i'd be happy to take your dresses then, you must not like the fashion very much if you'd want to stop wearing it just because a few other people who wear it are dumb on the internet

[Anonymous No.10190302]

>>10189942
I used to be one, until I was finally able to buy dresses for myself. I basically grew up on this board.
I do kind of think it's given me a leg up on people who jumped into Lolita on sight, because I've witnessed enough draggings on /cgl/ to know what would make a good (or decent) coord, what is good brand vs shitty Milanoo BS, etc.
I know this whole "lolita at heart" concept pisses off seagulls, but I get it. We all start somewhere. As long as you're not showing up to meets without actually wearing the fashion, I don't think it's a big deal. Can't say I understand the pants-shitting rage ITT.

It's not ironical at all, fuck off roleplayer. If you don't wear the fashion you have no say on anything on this board and your opinion is worth nothing. You are not a lolita, so stfu and go back to lurking. You won't get asspats for being too lazy and fat.

[Anonymous No.10190319]

>>10189942
I don’t understand the romanticization of the idea of “being a lolita.” It’s wearing frilly dresses of a particular style. If the style doesn’t suit you, why bother with this “lolita at heart” stupidity, ironically or no? There are styles that suit you, just stop fixating on lolita and go find them.

[Anonymous No.10190329]

>>10190302
I think it's because of immediate suspicions that anyone who's a lolita at heart also participates in discussion about the fashion and offers concrit to actual lolitas, without wearing the fashion themselves, which ultimately means their input isn't as valuable and often times can be misleading. It happens a lot on FB communities and even more so here because you can't prove this or that anon is or isn't truly a lolita, unless they say something absolutely idiotic that outs them as pretenders of course.
Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine to love the fashion without wearing it, but "lolita at heart" as a concept is misguided at best because it doesn't matter how much you love the fashion, you're not a lolita if you don't wear the clothes. Additionally there are some people like this in my comm who are allowed to participate in discussions online but routinely pitch fits when told that meetups have dress codes, and it's exhausting to deal with.

[Anonymous No.10190331]

>>10190287
yeah, but you *probably* shouldn't be calling yourself a lolita before you buy that dress and start wearing it every once in a while; also, it sounds like you actually had a plan for starting. most of these 'at heart' types end up hovering in the communities for years without ever actually getting in the fashion, giving shitty and unwanted advice to people actually wearing lolita. that's why half of this comm gets so triggered about these types popping up and asking for "acceptance" or "validation". at least contribute something useful if you're going to hover in the comm.

When I discovered lolita, I researched tirelessly, still ended up buying a milanoo disaster as my first piece, then bought new from IW and it changed my world.

this is Please Continue to Lurk Quietly: the Thread. Either stalk the comm/culture from a distance or grow some nads and participate.
You can't be a lolita at heart because there's no way to have experience in something ~in spirit~. you're not a lolita unless you wear lolita fashion. lolita admirer, sure, but it literally is impossible to be a lolita at heart.

I don't label myself as that but I follow the fashion and love looking at coords.

That's just because the ones you see are the most popular ones. Some of the best lolitas are way under 500 followers on IG, they just haven't been lucky with the algorithm yet. Don't lose heart.

>>10190892
Oh, anon. If classic is your favourite, this fear is probably all in your head. That doesn't make it any easier, I know, but classic really is the best substyle to incorporate into your daily life and style without being too showy. Would the people in your life have a problem with you enjoying vintage clothing? I'd guess they wouldn't care or would think it looked nice. Classic lolita is a lot like that, I wear my classic JSKs and blouses in very toned down ways every day and my coworkers just think it's a cute vintage thing. You can do it, anon. It may take you a while to get in the right mindset, but I believe that someday you will be able to wear those dresses, even if you style them so casually that no one would ever guess they're lolita.

Thank you for responding anon! I actually don't care about having followers or anything like that, it just seems like it's nice to have lolita friends sometimes. I thought it wasn't necessary at first and was happy being a lonelita for years, but I guess it's hitting me a bit hard now seeing those kinds of posts since I've been going through a really hard time as of late and lost pretty much my entire support system, including friends and family. Right now lolita is one of the only things getting me through and sometimes I think it would be nice to have a friend to talk about it with, or even wearing it together with since it's become such a big part of my life. Of course I don't know what the feeling is like, but I imagine it must be very comforting to face the world with someone wearing the same fashion. Anyway I'm sorry for the blog post.

Honestly, biggest reason is cause I'm fat. I see a lot of cute plus sized lolitas and wouldn't mind wearing the fashion if I'm just chubby, but it's not a fashion that is accomodating to my current size and I'd rather just lose weight to look good in cuter clothes than alter them or squeeze into something that's not going to look right. The other reason is that I've got a lot more hobbies that I'm investing my spare money into, and lolita doesn't fit in there at the moment. I know there are ways of making it affordable, but even still, it's a fashion about fine materials and details and it's not something I'd want to cheap out on. So I just come to this board for my cosplay and idol stuff, and lurk the lolita threads saving pictures of pretty outfits. :)

I wish I could wear cute cloths but I'm a guy and don't have the correct body shape for it. Ive tried a few cheap/simple things but my shoulders are so massive that I cant get anything I've bought on. Ive at least gotten some skirts to fit me because I have a very slim waist, but as of yet no top has ever been able to get past my shoulders. I have a couple more cheap dresses in the mail along with a custom sized cosplay so I'm still hoping I'll find something that fits me eventually.

I'm also a "medicine student" and I'd never call myself a doctors until I actually graduate. If you were really in the medical field, you'd know how hierarchical it is and how important it is not to *ever* call yourself a physician to a patient if you're only a student.

Autism. As if that anon is going to tell patients, or anyone outside a board about fucking clothes, they’re a qualified doctor if they don’t want to throw away all their work. And no I’m not her.
